This chilli wasn’t supposed to be a recipe for the blog. I was in a hurry to make dinner one night and just threw some things in a pan. The result was this dish which my husband claimed was the best chilli I’d ever made! Strong words! Luckily I remembered what I’d put in it and quickly wrote it down so I could share it with you here. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to snap a photo of it. The photo above looks similar though (minus the sweetcorn)! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. I highly recommend serving it with black rice. It adds a nice…

Recipe: Feta Tzatziki
Is it a dip? Is it a sauce? Whatever you call it, it’s delicious. I could easily eat a whole bowl of this with a baguette as the vehicle! Whenever I eat tzatziki I’m transported to childhood holidays on the island of Lefkas with my best friend and her family.

To find out about just some of the nutritional benefits of this soup, see my post on The Health Benefits of Peas. I recommend you enjoy this soup with your favourite bread. Mmm, I love bread.

Recipe: Banana and Oat Pancakes
I’ve been making these pancakes for years now. They’re extremely easy to make and, in my (and my husband’s) opinion, are fluffier and tastier than the original American-style pancakes made with white flour. These pancakes are high in dietary fibre which is good for digestive health. As well as a host of other possible health benefits from the oats, flaxseeds and banana. See my articles on bananas and oats. My favourite pancake topping is my mixed berry compote and a little bit of maple syrup. What do you like to eat with your pancakes? Here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy it.
