Toasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

Pumpkin seeds are very healthy for you, I eat them raw often.

Pumpkin seeds are very high in iron and contain other vitamins.

Roasting them gives the pumpkin seeds a wonderful nutty flavour.

Pre heat your oven to approx 150C.

Put the pumpkin seeds on a baking tray drizzled with olive oil and sprinkle with a little sea salt.

Cook for 5-10 minutes DO keep checking so that they don't burn.

Your seeds do not need to be completely browned. Some seeds may 'pop' sometimes as you take the tray out.

Enjoy snacking on your toasted pumpkin seeds.

Healthy Date and Wheat Snacks

If you are dieting or health conscious or you don't eat eggs these are a fantastic healthy snack.

1 tbsp Set Honey
2 tbsp Healthy Margarine
1 Heaped tsp Almond Paste
1 Teaspoon Rice Flour
3 tbs Wholewheat Flour
Tiny Pinch Cinnamon
1 More tbsp Set Honey mix
4 tbsp Wholewheat
Hand Full Dates
Splash of Water and Honey
Melted Margarine

Mix 1 tbs of honey with the margarine and cream together, add the almond nut paste and mix well. Add the rice flour and sieve in 3 tbs of wholewheat flour with a tiny pinch of Cinnamon(you will be left with some wheat bits in the sieve, keep it to the side as it is added later) then add the other tbs of honey. It should form a doughy ball.

Then add 3 heaped tbs of whole wheat flour and the wheat bits from earlier. Rub together with your hands as thought to make (short crust pastry) a crumb like texture.

Then warm a little water with a little honey and mix in the dates, then pour the whole cup into one of the mixes and make into a biscuit dough. To make the plain dough just add a little water.

Roll the date mix flat and put onto your greased tray then spread with a little melted margarine(you can sprinkle on some grated coconut at this point if you wish) then roll the plain mix and put it on top of the date mix.

Cook on a medium heat until golden brown.

Cut into whichever shape you wish and enjoy! :)

Healthy Chips

Once you have tried this double delicious recipe as a replacement for chips you will never feel guilty for eating chips again!















2 Medium White Potatoes or a few small ones
One medium Sweet Potato
Olive oil(rapeseed oil alternatively)
Spelt Flour or Wholewheat Flour (optional)


Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, shape doesn't matter the more roughly cut the better! Drizzle with a little olive oil - you don't have to drench them. (If you want, sprinkle over some spelt or wholemeal flour - just a small hand full you do NOT need to coat the potatoes You don't have to use any flour if you don't want to.)
Drizzle some olive oil into a baking tray and put into a hot oven for 5 - 10 minutes until hot. When hot add your potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or so - pull them out and use a spatula to move them around a little, sprinkle more olive oil then put them back in the oven for another 5 - 10 minutes or until they are golden or too your liking. Don't worry if some stick to the tray sometimes perfection is in the home cooked look! Add sea salt if you wish, maybe some chili sauce too! Enjoy!
