BBQ Sauce

This is an easy homemade BBQ sauce.  The base recipe comes from mywholefoodlife.com but of course I have adapted it a little!  I reduced the quantities to ensure that I use it all while it's fresh and substituted Worcestershire sauce with coconut aminos, a soy sauce alternative made from coconut sap available from health food stores.

Simple Salad Dressing

Make your own salad dressing and avoid preservatives and additives. This is a really easy salad dressing to make.  Into a small jar place 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard per serving required.  Pour in extra virgin olive oil to desired quantity and add a splash of apple cider vinegar* to taste. Replace lid and shake well. Pour over your salad and enjoy!

Carrot Stringer

I'm a big fan of kitchen gadgets that make my life easier.  Here's a handy gadget for making carrot strings.

Let's face it, munching on carrot sticks can get a little tedious.  A carrot stringer is an easy way to incorporate carrot in your salads, adding appeal with colour and keeping it light, and it's easier and far less messy than grating.

This carrot stringer was given to me as a gift a few years ago.   I believe it came from House but I'm sure you'd be able to find one at any good kitchen store.
