It really is summer now and I love going outside not having to worry about bringing a jacket and wearing my sandals everyday! However, with these beautiful days my craving for a warm meal have disappeared. Lots of salads for me now!! But sometimes you have got to spice things up a bit so today I will share one of my go-to meals when I don't feel like doing lots of cooking (I rather spend my time outside)!  

 

Zucchini Spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce
Tomato sauce for 2
Ingredients
- 3 large (ripe) tomatoes
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 carrot
- 1 large hand of fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions
Cut all the vegetables into small pieces. When all have been cut place them in a little saucepan, together with the olive oil and basil, over middle high heat. Let this simmer for about 20 minutes. Once everything is soft and mushy transfer to your food processor and mix until you have a wonderful thick sauce. Serve directly with your zucchini pasta and enjoy!

Nutbutter energybars

Hi loves,
Today I was scrolling through my Instagram pictures and found an oldy but goody of my nutbutter energy bars! Weirdly enough I never got around to posting the recipe.. I think it was because I forgot to make a decent pic (still haven't got one but I will upload a close up somewhere this week!) These babies are packet with beautiful ingredients and give you that extra whoop whoop when you feel like taking a nap or when you need to perform at your very best and you could use some extra energy!

Nutbutter energybars
Ingredients:
1 very ripe banana
1 cup spelt oats 
1/2 cup (ground) mixed nuts
1/2 cup medjool dates
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
1/4 cup buckwheat
2 tbsp chiaseeds
2 tbsp nutbutter (I went for almond butter)
2 tbsp coconutoil
2 tbsp cinnamon powder
3 tbsp dried cherries

Directions:
Start by preheating your oven to 280 degrees. While your oven is doing all the hard work, you'll have more than enough time to whip up these yummy bars. In your foodprocessor mix the banana, nutbutter, coconut oil and the dates. Process until you have a nice and smooth mixture.
Add the rest of the ingredients (except the cherries) and pulse until combined. Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour in your energybar mixture, place the cherries on top. Put into your oven for about 20 minutes. Let it cool and cut into individual bars. Perfect to take with you to work or school! Enjoy!!
