With temperatures falling (even if slightly here in Cyprus!) I always get cravings for cakes, muffins and chocolates. So last Sunday afternoon, this recipe came up. And i can say it’s going to be a regular in our kitchen. Great as breakfast or mid-day snack, if you like cinnamon and raisins, this one is a must try.

Saint Fanourios Cake
The 27th of August is St Fanourios day for the Greek Orthodox. It is said that this vegan cake was his favourite. People in Cyprus and Greece make this cake as a gift to him, when they lost something or when they wish for something to happen.
I make it because i like it so much. It is a very simply, yet delicious cake, great for every season, for breakfast or as a sweet treat during the day. The cinnamon, zest and vanilla simply make it really tasty.
There are various variations to the recipe, the one i love and make is the below.
Tete’s healthy bars
I’ve been trying for so long to get my kids to eat healthier. It’s really been a battle, one which i too often lose! This week, i had a small win: my youngest one not only helped me develop these bars, she actually tried them and loved them! So I named them after her! She was so proud!
They are packed with so much goodness and are easy to like, even for the most fussy eaters!
Cherry Smoothie
When life gives you cherries, well you really have to try this cherry smoothie!!! Blend with cocoa, bananas, pea protein, chia seeds, oats and you’ve got a delicious, healthy, protein packed and filling breakfast.
Carrot and Apple muffins
These muffins are such a great comfort food for you – healthy and delicious! I literally could not stop eating them when they were ready!
You can have them as breakfast or as a snack – on their own or topped with marmalade, coconut yoghurt or cream, any nut butter of your choice.
Chia seeds and strawberries pudding
Good morning peopleee!! Today’s breakfast: chia seeds & strawberries pudding! Easy to make and sooo healthy!
Chia seeds: a good source of protein, omega 3 fatty acids, iron, fiber, calcium and antioxidanta.
Hemp seeds: rich in omega 3&6 fatty acids, protein, iron, fiber.
Strawberries: good source of vitamins and minerals and fiber.
Almond + Raisin oatmeal cookies
It seems that it’s always a good time for cookies. They are one of the best comfort foods – so if they are healthy even better!
These cookies are filled with the goodness of oats, raisins, cinnamon and almonds! So, go on, have your healthy indulgence!
In this recipe I used the almond meat after I made my almond milk – so a nice solution for this as well!
Mango and Strawberries smoothie bowl
Spring is in the air!! At least in this part of the world! So, why not start your day with a mango and strawberries smoothie bowl!
My fruit is from Foodsaver Stores in Cyprus.
