One of my favourite ways to get more vegetables into my boys diet is with a veggie pate. Carrots are especially delicious in this type of dip as they have a naturally sweet taste and roasting them first condenses their flavour even more. I love the idea of adding the hemp oil that Lemcke gifted…

Almond & Orange Friands
When Lemcke gifted me a few of their oils recently it really got my creative juices flowing. As you all know by now I favour simplicity over complication and FLAVOUR is always of ultimate importance.
