I have had a mountain of red cabbage in my fridge that I have been trying to use up for weeks now (luckily cabbage lasts for agesss in the fridge). With the majority of it, I made pickled cabbage to keep in the fridge and batch made sauteed cabbage to freeze; Once I was done I still had at least a quarter left over that I wanted to make into something tasty, and a few people on my Instagram account mentioned coleslaw. Therefore, I decided to get together all the ingredients I had in my larder/fridge and make a really easy 'no mayo' slaw...

When I lived in London spending Sunday afternoon wandering around Waitrose and Wholefoods was one of the highlights of my week (I know, I'm sad). Now I live in Sweden I mostly do all my shopping online, as it's more convenient, and I've lost the love for spending hours in the supermarket. However, I do still love planning and cooking meals. So I thought I would share my top tips for making the process a bit easier and more organised...

If you're like me and buy way too much ginger every time you do a food shop then this is the recipe for you... also, you need to like granola.

As we are coming into autumn and I have a fridge full of fresh ginger, I thought it might be a good idea to make some gingerbread granola. I didn't take any step-by-step photos like I usually do as a) my camera was nearly out of battery and b) I thought 'how often does anyone actually look at those in a recipe?' - if you do, let me know...

WARNING: these don't make the most attractive brownies, however, they contain no dairy, gluten or artificial sugar. They taste pretty good too. 

What you will need:

- 1/2 cup of any smooth nut butter (almond butter in my opinion tastes the best, but this time I decided to use peanut butter) 
- 1/4 cup of cocoa powder 
- 3 ripe bananas 
- optional: cinnamon, berries or another other extras you think would work 


Step 1 to creating these 3 ingredient simple brownies is:

Preheat the oven to 185 - 200°C
Step 2
Gently heat nut butter on the hob or in the microwave and put aside to be added to the mix.
Step 3 
Add the cocoa power to a large mixing bowl. 


Step 4 

Crush the bananas with a fork and add to the cocoa powder (the mixture can be added to a food processor too if you want a smoother batter). 




Step 5 

Stir in the nut butter. 



Step 6

Mix together with a wooden spoon - or food processor, whichever you prefer.  



Step 7 

Add to a greased/silicone loaf tin.
