Hello everybody and happy Tuesday! It feels like I have been away from my blog for so long. I am actually away from home and will be for the next 10 days. As such, I was busy cooking up a storm to ensure that I have enough material to post until I am back home in my kitchen again. The free Wi-Fi access I have now is much slower than what I am used to. So it is a pain to load images and videos. Yes – this means using Pinterest gets very frustrating!

Maple Roasted Sweet Potato Fries with Bacon

Oven roasted sweet potato fries seasoned with rosemary and thyme then glazed with maple syrup. Crispy grilled bacon is mixed in to make this the ultimate side dish.

Hello and happy hump day! I love Wednesdays because it’s as if you can almost smell the weekend. I can’t wait!

Since I bought my bottle of maple syrup last week, I have been happily using it. First it was to make Maple Almond Granola and this time, I used it to slather over some oven roasted sweet potato fries.

Vegetarian Yellow Split Pea Curry

High in fiber and vegetable protein, this yellow split pea curry is delicious, budget friendly and freezes really well. Get ready to make a big batch and freeze up leftovers for when you need them.

Hello! How was your weekend? Did you get up to anything active? Whatever you did, I hope you had a good time. The weather here was pretty sunny although there were strong gusts of winds. I am proud to report that my long run on Sunday went much better than last week’s run. I think it helped that I brought some water with me to sip on every 15 minutes throughout the 165 minutes that I was out pounding the pavement. Well I say pounding but it was more like plodding.

Anyway, for today’s Meatless Monday series I have a fantastic curry recipe!

Maple Almond Granola (with no refined sugar)

This granola is sweetened with maple syrup and packed with almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and sultanas. So easy to make and so good for you.

Hello! Today is time for a breakfast post. It’s no secret that I am utterly obsessed with granola. However, I was quick to realize that most store bought granola is packed with sugar. So, although it is really delicious, it’s not so good for you and if you asked me, I would much rather use my sugar quota eating cake.

So, go crazy making your own granola!

Sundried Tomatoes & Mozzarella Bread

This bread has a delicious Mediterranean taste of sundried tomatoes and herbs. It is just as tasty eaten on its own or with some soup.

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? I hope you had a great weekend and that you are all ready to start this week with vigour.

As for me, I ran for nearly 3 hours on Sunday. This is all part of my training for the Berlin Marathon. Even though I have been doing that for most Sundays now, yesterday was a real ordeal. I think I was not looking forward to the run and was mentally defeated before I even began. Never mind, I am sure this Sunday’s run will be better.

Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chunks and Hazelnuts

Glorious banana muffins with delicious chunks of chocolate and hazelnuts.

Hello friends! Hope you are feeling good and looking forward to your weekend. Yesterday was my birthday and as I said, I had decided not to bake myself a birthday cake. However, I was too greedy and I could not resist baking some glorious jumbo banana muffins with chocolate chunks and hazelnuts. Well it was my birthday so please don’t judge me!

Japanese Style Roast Chicken Thighs

Roast chicken thighs with crispy skin that are wonderfully simple to prepare. 30 minutes from the oven to your plate!

Happy Hump Day everyone! It’s already mid-way through yet another week. Guess what, it is also my thirty second birthday tomorrow!

I was very keen to bake myself a luscious birthday cake all for me. However, on second thought I decided against it. It is not so much that it might be construed as the saddest thing ever (in my books, it is never a sad thing when you bake a cake) but more so because I want to be smiling when I step on my blasted digital weighing scales. That’s what happens when you watch too many Special K advertisements.

Two Ingredient Pancakes (Gluten Free)

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. I have to tell you, I went for a total change in hair style and chopped off my long hair. I took more than 4 inches off. I think I posted a photo on my Instagram account. I will need to update all my profile photos in due course. For now, I am loving my new short hair. I have had long hair for over eight years now so it is high time for a change!

Coming back to food, as today is Meatless Monday here on Nomsies Kitchen and it is Pancake Day tomorrow here in Britain, I thought it will be timely to share a recipe for two ingredient pancakes with you!
