Healthy Eating with Joie de Vivre

Banana Loaf Cake

Banana Loaf Cake

A wholesome, moist cake which is a firm family favourite in our house. I usually make it when I have too many over ripe bananas or I find them being sold off in my local supermarket. This keeps well in an airtight container, and is good for many occasions, like picnics, afternoon teas or sports days, matches and events.

Spiced Parsnip & Apple Soup

Spiced Parsnip & Apple Soup

This spicy autumnal soup combines parsnips, apples and lentils in a warming low fat meal which can be made ahead and even frozen. The addition of red lentils adds texture to the soup making it substantial yet still low fat.

Chicken and Chorizo Tray Bake

A great mid-week family supper which is super easy to make, using fresh colourful vegetables, chicken breast and chorizo.

Chunky Minestrone Soup
