Breakfast

I’m a BIG breakfast fan. As an early riser I seriously enjoy preparing myself a strong cup of tea and a healthy and delicious breaky to fuel my day. My favourite dishes include either eggs or a fruit, yoghurt and nut combo.

Sweet, savoury, healthy or indulgent. Be sure to start the day with your favourite flavours using one of my easy recipes.

Blueberry breakfast couscous

When I think of couscous, images of piping hot Moroccan tagines with fall-off-the-bone lamb and tangy perserved lemon, fill my mind.

I don’t think about eating couscous at breakfast time.

However, here we are. Today I present you with a really interesting and satisfying combination I came up with after being challenged to create a recipe using Blueberry Flavoured Craisins. (more…)

Mushroom Breakfast Burritos

Posted on September 7, 2011

This recipe was a challenge was to come up with a breakfast dish using button mushrooms and I think this burrito fits the bill perfectly.

It was a popularity vote, so I guess I just don’t have enough online friends, hehe. (more…)
