I seem to be eating a whole lotta pumpkin at the moment, but really, that’s a-ok with me! Anything with pumpkin in it seems to not only be delicious, but comforting as well, so I’ve been chopping and roasting it pretty much non-stop! That’s where this salad came from – hearty enough for me to take to work thanks to the base of both brown rice and lentils, plus with the flavour of the spiced pumpkin, it really is a winner! So here we go, my spiced pumpkin lentil salad!
My love of making curries is fairly well documented around these parts, but for good reason! They are warming, delicious, easy to make and freeze well – what more could you want?! This potato and pea curry is about as simple as they come, but I don’t see that as a bad thing at all. Instead, the two veggies get to star in a creamy, flavour packed sauce, and you don’t have to worry about prepping a million different ingredients!
As part of my baking spree of late I seem to have been making loafs of varying flavours, and this banana pecan bread is definitely one of the better ones! Deliciously moist, with the addition of coconut and the pecans for crunch and flavour it really does make for an excellent baked treat!
My love of israeli couscous is well documented, and this roast vegetable israeli couscous salad is the perfect way to keep eating it all through autumn and winter! Packed with delicious roasted root vegetables this salad is simple but hearty enough to make both an excellent lunch or a side for dinner.
Homemade gnocchi is one of those things that I’ve always just assumed is just too much effort to be bothered with, but it turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong! This ricotta gnocchi is deceptively simple to make, super delicious and you can even make a big batch and freeze some, so you can have ricotta gnocchi on hand whenever you feel like!
