Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles

Alison Murray Baking, Nut-free, Recipes, Vegetarian 1 Comment

There is no beating around the bush here – these cookies taste naughty! While this may be healthier chocolate cookie (think unrefined sweeteners, healthier fats, some wholegrain flour, a smattering of spice and goji berries), it’s still going to hit the spot when you want to indulge  – just the way a chocolate snickerdoodle should! There’s a little chilli kick …

I intensely regret making these delicious, decadent raw brownie bites – they were so fudgey and fabulous that I’ve had to hide some in the freezer so Kam and I don’t eat them all at once! I’m a sucker for anything ‘chocolate’ and these cacao snack balls are a rich-yet-healthier option for those pesky 3pm cravings. High in nutrients? Tick. Vegan, raw and paleo? …

I’ve just mentioned in my other post that I’ve been away from blogging for three months. There’s been no recipes, no health advice and no blender parties for that long – did you miss it all as much as I did? A lot of hard decisions (and hard work) have occurred lately, and to allow me to bring more varied …

It dawned on me over the weekend that we haven’t had any nut butter in the house since Christmas (the dog’s stash of peanut butter doesn’t count). NO almond butter, NO cashew spread and NO seed butters in the pantry. Somehow their existence had disappeared off my radar and I hadn’t even noticed. I DO seem to have a lot …

D.I.Y. Dry Shampoo

Alison Murray Natural Beauty, Natural Living 31 Comments

When I discovered dry shampoo aerosols as a teenager, my whole life changed. I had the disadvantage of thick, bouffy, fluffy hair where the ends needing washing maybe once a week, but the roots every three days. The fact I used to have dyed, black hair and that I straighten it after every wash probably didn’t help the situation much either. Using a …
