Lindsey Dickson's (The Eating Tree) delicious Quinoa bars are packed full of protein and energy - a great sustaining treat or the perfect snack to take out cycling. |
These delicious bars, packed full of energy, are great for me in the morning when I am running around doing umpteen things at once and a sit-down breakfast is just not going to happen. Unfortunately, as everyone knows, animals do not feed and water themselves, PE kits will not gather themselves together at the wave of a hand and cars will not magic the children to school without a driver. Mary Poppins I am not.
I keep these very easy to make bars in the fridge and grab one on the go. The combination of quinoa, oats, seeds and dried fruit keep me energised for a few hours until after the morning’s chores are out of the way.
Even though I do try to eat healthily, if I am eating a healthy treat I like it to taste good as well. If it tastes too ‘worthy’ I always think I might as well forego the calories and eat a stick of celery which is nice but not much of an indulgence. These are wonderfully buttery but not too sweet unlike a lot of commercially made granola bars.

These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.

This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.

Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread give it a modern twist, lending a deep, malty flavour to the loaf. This bread is the perfect accompaniment to hearty Irish dishes like seafood chowders, beef stews, soups, or simply with a smear of salted butter - Irish only, please!
