I love coconut, good job as it’s a fantastic ingredient to use for making low carb and sugar free recipes. This one has the additional of chocolate chips (ups the carb and sugar rating though)

Sugar Free May
Sugar is hugely addictive, your body stores the excess energy as fat and sugar destroys your skin, so reduce it. Try to remember that your body is a mechanism for you to live our life through, if your body breaks you don’t get another one so respect it, your body works hard for you.
Watermelon Shark
This is a shark carved from a watermelon. You’ll need a ‘torpedo’ shaped watermelon as the round ones look a little too cute. Fab, healthy party food for kids.
Sugar Free Sweet Potato and Orange Cupcakes
I have changed this version of my original Sweet Potato and Orange cupcakes by replacing the sugar with a little maple syrup and using Sukrin no carb no sugar icing to ice the cakes.
Rhubarb and Pecan Brownies
This version of brownies has rhubarb which ‘cuts’ through the sweetness and works really well with the deeply sweet chocolateyness of the brownie to add a little sharpness.
Tuscan Bean Soup with Pesto and Soda Bread
This is a fabulously healthy meal of a soup, great for cold days and a good way of using up vegetables in your veg box.
Weekend in Brussels with teenagers in Winter, hmm
Buy chocolates, find a bar, try different beer and eat chocolates, there you go, beer and chocolate, done. Repeat at least twice daily.
Almond Slices
This is a cake from my childhood. A mixture of sweet almond sponge mixed with raspberry jam and sweet shortcrust pastry is the epitome of English Afternoon Tea. Go on try it, it’s worth it.
Berry Yoghurt Ice Lollies
Homemade ice lollies, lower in sugar and much healthier than the shop bought ones and just the ticket for this lovely hot weather we’re having. The photo is of Rainbow Ice Lollies but you get the idea
Black Bean Brownies – low carb, sugar, gluten and dairy free
High in protein, low carbs, low GI, sugar free, dairy free and gluten free but they do contain nuts. They taste fantastic and almost fooled my children
