Simple Joys. Simple Food. Simple Living

Crispy fried marrow rounds (vegan, gluten-free, grain free )

A recipe for when you need oily-hot-eat-with-your-fingers food, these are easy, yummy and satisfying!

Three bean sprout salad (vegan, Gluten-free grain free )

Ready in less than 10 minutes, this salad is great with leftover rice or some corn chips. It keeps well in the fridge and can make a great topping for baked potatoes too!

Buckwheat and banana pancake bites (gluten-free, vegan, grain free )

With only 3 ingredients, these pancake bites are super easy, taste amazing and are firmly toddler approved!

Easy weeknight pasta with green olives, chickpeas and tomato and basil sauce (vegan, gluten free, grain free)…version française ci-dessous.

Less than 20 minutes from start to finish, this is a truly quick and easy meal for those nights when the gourmet chef in you just says no!

Salad in a jar (vegan, gluten free, grain free)

A great way to pack your lunch, this is good for your pocket and the environment too!

Apple and pineapple crumble with coconut and peanut butter oats (gluten free, vegan optional)

Our neighbours are American and as today is their Thanksgiving holiday and also happens to be a public holiday here in Congo ( Day of the Republic), we had a feast together. These individual crumbles are my attempt at a traditional Thanksgiving flavour ( the apples) with a Congolese twist (everything else!).

Moringa and avocado hummous (vegan, grain free, gluten free)

Hummous with a superfood twist! My husband loved this and he isn’t usually that keen on moringa, so I consider this a result!

Sunrise smoothie (raw, vegan, grain free, gluten free)

When you need to feel sunny in your tummy! This smoothie is filled with digestive enzymes, fibre and healthy fats and it’s delicious to boot!

Moringa and red lentil soup ( vegan, gluten free, superfood)

I made this to help with a mild bout of summer flu and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it turned out!

Kidney bean and buckwheat burgers ( vegan, grain free, gluten free )

There is just something about kidney beans…these burgers are high in protein and fibre, vegan and grain free. They keep well for the next day so make a great picnic or road trip snack as well as a lovely light lunch, plus my toddler loves them!
