Chicken on a skewer
This was so easy to make and the whole family loved it. I pounded some chicken breasts until they flattened, cut them into 4 strips, and pasted one side with a little tomato paste. Then I lay onto that a piece of bacon (cut lengthways), some fresh basil, and then would the chicken up and popped onto the skewer. They cooked under the grill in less than 15 minutes and were scrummy!


Fig and Almond Rolls
I've been reading a lot about raw vegan food and am slowly trying to implement some of this into our family meal times. This week I made these simple fig and almond rolls, which are both raw, and vegan. I simply blitzed some soaked almonds and some dried figs in a blender, added a tiny bit of water. Then I rolled the sticky mushy substance in some desicated coconut and chilled the little logs in the fridge. The kids loved them. They taste very sweet, but are so healthy that you could let the kids eat them from breakfast! Plus they took less that 5 minutes to make.

  1. Your Chicken on a Skewers sound real similar to Icelandic Chicken. It's chicken, bacon, and sage in a cracker like crust. Baked to perfection and Oh SO rich!
