  • Calendulas brightening the garden now 🌼🧡

    Often called pot marigolds, calendulas are one of the hardest working flowers in the garden. Their bright orange and yellow petals attract pollinators, bring colour to borders, and are completely edible too.

    The petals have a light peppery flavour and can be scattered through salads, baked into cakes, infused into oils or used to naturally colour rice, butter and broths.

    🌱 Fun facts
    • Calendula, Calendula officinalis, has been grown for centuries in kitchen and medicinal gardens
    • The petals were once known as “poor man’s saffron” for the colour they bring to food
    • Calendulas will often self-seed happily around the garden each year

    🧡 Nutrition notes
    • Rich in naturally occurring plant compounds called flavonoids
    • Traditionally used in balms, teas and infused oils
    • Loved by pollinators, especially bees and hoverflies 🐝

    A flower that earns its place in both the garden and the kitchen.18h

  • Last week, I made Chocolate Hummus and I got SO much amazing feedback that I wanted to show you how you could use it as a handy finger food breakfast idea for your kids. These Breakfast Samosas are really good. Filled with my chocolate hummus, sliced banana and crushed seeds for extra goodness…all from @dunnesstores ☀️🍌

    You will want to save this one for later ❤️

    Prep time – 5 minutes
    Cook time – 5 minutes
    8 Mini Samosas and 2 Large

    4 Mini tortilla wraps
    1 large tortilla wrap

    5-6 tbsp Chocolate Hummus
    2 bananas sliced
    2 tbsp finely crushed seeds

    To serve
    Fresh strawberries
    Greek yogurt

    Cut the tortillas in half.

    For the mini tortillas spread about 2 tsps of chocolate hummus (the larger tortillas will use about 1 tbsp of hummus, then add 2 slices of banana the the corner and a sprinkle of nuts. Fold the rounded part up slightly, then fold the corner up and over and tuck in the remaining part into the opening.

    Heat on a pan until golden brown both sides.

    Serve with a side of Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries for extra protein which will keep you and your little ones full for longer.
