Pea & Cashew Pesto Pasta

Posted on by

Hi Guys!

I’m sharing a meal idea today that is a great substitute for those creamy, cheesy pasta meals we all love!

This is something that I missed when cutting out dairy and gluten from my diet, so I’m glad to find a meal that hits the spot- comfort food that is healthy!

The pesto is a recipe from Honestly Healthy, and is so simple and so satisfying!! It’s  really good replacement for pesto, which usually contains cheese. Even so, it is always nice to make your own and avoid processed foods!! This works out cheaper and literally takes two minutes to prepare.

It may sound a strange combination, but these cookies are pretty tasty as well as being free from all that stuff we try to avoid/limit our intake of (dairy, gluten, refined sugar..). They were my first attempt at baking without eggs, and I’m so happy with how they turned out!

Blackbean Soup

This is a recipe for black bean soup which is a fun dish to try for a Mexican themed evening, or just for something a bit different! I love cooking a big batch of black beans and then using them for burritos, burgers, brownies, stews, and now, soup! The great thing about this soup is that it also works well as a sauce if you leave it thick. The flavours work so well with avocado, lemon juice, pineapple…so I tried it to top a bean burger, and it was delicious!

I have only recently started to make my own hummus, and now that I have, I am wondering what took me so long!!

It is so quick and easy, and ends up being MUCH cheaper than buying store-bought. Obviously, you have the added advantage of knowing exactly what you are eating, and cutting out preservatives and additives often found in processed foods!
