Healthy eating with some sweet treats thrown in... it's all about balance ❤

Carrot, ginger & coriander soup
Another delicious soup to add to my collection. My carrot, ginger & coriander soup. You can’t beat a warm bowl of soup… nutritious and filling and full of flavour. Soup is relatively quick and simple to make. My 3 year old tucked into a bowl of this yesterday… she licked the bowl when she was…
Summer fruits smoothie
