Smoothies are a gentle way to get in those vital nutrients, particularly for those with digestive issues. They are also wonderfully quick when on the go and a better morning ‘grab’ than many sugar laden convenience foods. The taste is also sensational! Especially when packed with tasty berries, like this one.
Read MoreBerries are wonderful to forage; sloes, wild strawberries and beloved blackberries are examples of what may be right under our noses, in the hedgerows. There is so much beauty, besides, when you take a closer look while walking on a quiet country road.
Read MoreThat’s my jam! This recipe does not require scalding glass jars or careful temperature measurements. As delicious as traditional jams are, and it’s a big tradition in a lot of families including my own, this quick easy ‘cheat’ jam is also gorgeous! I use blueberries or blackberries and it’s ready in minutes, yum!

Read MoreKelp Seaweed is wonderful in this recipe! This is a quick and easy dish to prepare, once you have the sushi rice made, the rest is just assembly. Also, consider the nutrients you are packing in here e.g. iodine, zinc, magnesium and Omega 3 rich. Your thyroid, for one, will thank you for it!
Read MoreWhether taking a dip in open waters or enjoying a soak from the comfort of your own home, seaweed is a great addition for health and happiness. A 2016 Review described seaweed and it’s many uses as ‘… such a great living resource which is present in and around us.’ FeelWell could not agree more!
Read MoreSeaweed is everywhere on the Wild Atlantic coast and, let’s face it, where there’s a coastline anywhere in the world, you will find this precious treasure! Don’t be fooled by it’s somewhat derogatory and useless sounding ‘weed’ name. Seaweed, in it’s many forms and varieties, is a bounty and most certainly not useless to us humans. More traditional coastal cultures know this all too well and include seaweed in the diet, apply it topically on the skin and even use it as fertiliser for ‘land’ vegetables.

Read MoreApple and Pear Crumble is naturally gluten free, using Kavanagh’s Gluten Free Organic Porridge Oats. Delicious with a dollop of coconut or live natural yoghurt and a sprinkle of cocoa powder!
Read MoreConsider using a small amount of stewed apple daily, as a tasty prebiotic e.g. a tablespoon with muesli, porridge, for breakfast or as a snack with nuts, seeds, berries and live yogurt (that has the added benefit of providing more beneficial bacteria for the gut) or as a dessert addition… the options are endless, though I like it straight off the spoon!
Read MoreCertain foods we take for granted. I think apples are one of those. Have any of us ever known a time without apples in the fruit bowl? Let’s face it, often apples were the fruit bowl, certainly when I was growing up. Apple tart, crumble, stewed apple and so much more came from the transformation of ‘eating’ apples, or those sour but precious ‘cooking’ apples, into desserts that predated brownies, muffins, and energy balls but, I like to think, those apple classics are still going strong!
Read MoreBaked apples are delicious with a dollop of live yoghurt, coconut yoghurt, a sprinkle of cocoa powder and/or more cinnamon.
