the one... with some healthy choices

I have been trying to make a real effort to eat more healthy - clean eating is more accurate.

On instagram I have found some really inspiration people who very kindly share their recipies, tips and ideas on how to eat and live a more clean life.

The daily check in on instagram (who am I kidding, it's several times a day) helps me stay motivated and gives me lots of great ideas.

Here are a few favourites:

• ashleymfreeman
• healing_belle
• cleaneatingsurvial
• iquitsugar
• thehealthycookie
• fightforyourfit
• thehealthybeachgirl

and that's just a few.

I now find myself making granola which is so simple to make and I love that I can cater it to my own tastes.  I love nuts and seeds but limit the amount of dried fruits like pomegranates and sultanas.

Just this week I tried the Banana and Coconut Bread over on The Healthy Chef website and it was very yummy!

It's funny how saying it's a lifestyle choice rather than a diet makes you look at it differently.

the one... with the yummy desert

I seem to make this dessert in Winter only.  There is something warm and cozy about it.

I originally saw Maggie Beer making it on The Cook and The Chef a few years back and it looked yummy.

Here is a link to the recipe for Golden Syrup Dumplings incase you want to try it.  It's simple.

If you love golden syrup, then you will love this.

the one... with the banana bread

I have made 2 banana breads this week.

The first one was all gone within 3 days and it wasn't just me!!

I took the first loaf to work and went home with an empty Tupperware container.  Always a good sign.

I still have a couple of bananas in the fruit bowl and I hate to see fruit go to waste (and it does in my place) so I think I'll make another and freeze this one (if it makes it to the freezer).

This time I added a handful of chopped almonds for a bit of crunch.

How yummy does this look?
