Best Ever Trail Mix

While preparing and packing for a recent trip to Europe, I put together some healthy snack alternatives for the long 30-hour flight. One of them was this super easy, quick-to-prepare trail mix recipe. It’s definitely a winner! Full of variety and easy to snack on in any environment. I love the mix of nuts combined with the lush dried fruit, especially the sliced pears and Turkish apricots, which make the perfect chewy addition to the mix. I also like to add cacao nibs for a 'chocolatey' hit.

Roasted Tomato, Basil & Feta Spaghetti

Light, fresh, and flavour-packed, this simple spaghetti dish is an old family favourite in our house. It's actually the first meal I cooked for my now husband when we started dating. It’s still one of his favourite meals today.

Berry, Buckwheat & Hazelnut Crumble with Fresh Mint

I like to serve it warm with fresh organic cream, but you could also serve it with yoghurt or a dairy-free alternative like coconut yoghurt.
