After taking lots of sweet foods into the office I decided to mix things up and go savoury with these honey paprika spiced nuts. In fact, I could barely stop snacking on them so it was a miracle any made it into my office at all! They were a big hit though, and didn’t last long in the office either!
My love of Israeli couscous for salads is well documented here at ISPP, so now that we’ve got some warmer weather it was time to pull it out of the pantry again and get cooking – the result was this beetroot almond israeli couscous salad and it’s a real winner!
We had a celebratory afternoon tea at work recently for a colleague and I knew I wanted to bake something that wasn’t overly sweet, and it also needed to travel well (I’ve learnt the hard way that cupcakes don’t tend to look that pretty at the end of my 2.5km walk to work!). A nutty, zingy slice seemed like the perfect option, and this almond & ginger slice was just the ticket!
Given my love of hearty salads it’s probably no surprise that when it comes to family gatherings I am generally given the task of bringing along a salad or two. With Christmas fast approaching I thought it was about time I started playing with some options to make this year and so far this roast chickpea & sweet potato salad is sitting in first place.
Whenever my folks come over they look to see if there’s any baked goods in my kitchen, and they’re always disappointed if they come up short. So the next time I was heading out to visit them I knew I better not show up empty handed so whipped up these coconut, almond & date cookies which were definitely well received!
