 Cocoa and Birdseed No-Cook Slice Recipe

No-Cook Slice Recipe

This is a lovely gluten free, no cook slice recipe shared with me by author extraordinaire Cecily Paterson.

I think of it as my “magic slice” because you kind of just blitz together a whole lot of healthy ingredients and voila, you have slice.

Simple, quick and super healthy this is a winning recipe.

I hope you like it too. 🙂

Happy Eating.

 Two Ingredient Flatbread Recipe

Flatbread recipe

I love making this simple flat bread recipe because sometimes I really crave a delicious, crispy flatbread to soak up a curry, accompany a dip or just to snack on while I cook. This recipe is so simple that I can easily make it with just some of the basic items I keep stocked at home.

The trick is in the use of the natural greek yoghurt as apparently the enzymes within the yoghurt help break down the gluten in the bread.

I have labelled it a two ingredient flat bread because that is all you really need, but it will be made even more delicious by the addition of a toasted spice mix. I toast some cumin and coriander seeds until cracking, add in some toasted sesame seeds and some coarse salt and then sprinkle this on top. Oh, so, yum.

I recommend you serve this simple flatbread recipe with one of my favourite dips.

The only really trick to the recipe is to make sure you get the flatbread thin enough and that you cook it through properly.

I hope you like it as much as I do.

Best French Toast Recipe with hazelnut coffee cream

Best French Toast Recipe with Hazelnut Coffee Cream

best french toast recipe

Nothing says love like being brought breakfast in bed.

Once you have kids, nothing says love like being brought a cup of hot, strong coffee in bed.

When I had my first baby and the full horror of a sleep deprivation I had never known nor imagined set in, my husband started making me a coffee first thing in the morning. No matter what had happened the night before, the coffee was like a fresh start for the new day. A full stop to the night’s horrors. A good reason not to complain about tiredness because our mouths were occupied with the sweet nectar of the coffee bean. That caffeine would eventually slide through the blood and provide an optimistic 45 minutes of energy and activity for the day.

Valentines Day is a good excuse as any to celebrate all the amazing things your loved one means to you. Di Bella Coffee were kind enough to send me a packet of their Ali Reserve Coffee Beans so I thought I would bring all the goodness together and make a breakfast dish using coffee.

The best French Toast recipe, with Hazelnut Coffee Cream; an ode to the glue that held our lives together for so many years.

Just secretly, this recipe is also dedicated to my gorgeous husband who brought me that coffee in bed for so many years (we now share the task) and who’s favourite flavour is hazelnut. 😉

This is a very simple recipe, so it should not take you too long to whip up. If you are feeling very decadent forget the fruit salad and add some caramelised banana. You will love it!

Will you be celebrating St Valentines Day tomorrow? If you are not, make this recipe anyway and just eat it all on your own. Boom!

Whatever you do, go well. Dani xx
