Gift Idea

Image
Gift Packages for New Mums Recently we have been listening to lots of people who have been/are new mums who really struggle to find time to eat meals that are delicious and nutritious.  We understand this is a time where time is minimal and cooking is the last thing on the mind. However, it is also a time where it is crucial to keep up energy for both the mother and baby's benefit... I, for one have been stuck on gift ideas for friends who have had a new baby- especially when you know they will have a million baby grows already!! Why not do something different and treat your friend/relative/loved one to a week of hassle free meals? 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Lunch deliveries for one week  What does this include? - Two salad boxes with a mix of seasonal salads and a dip - One soup with wholemeal roll - Two hot dishes (For example: cowboy hot pot and winter warmer casserole) £20 (including delivery) Optional added extra: - 5 snacks (For example: gran...

Local Farmers Market Stall

Image
East Oxford Farmers Market Once a month we go to the East Oxford Farmers market and I think it is safe to say that our sweet treats were slightly 'alien' at first. However, recently we have had some great feedback from customers and also returning customers and have sold out the last two markets- YAY! For more info: https://www.eastoxfordmarket.org.uk/ Our little stall  Here are a few pictures of a new favourite- the vegan 'cheesecake'.  -The bottom is made from a mixture of dates, nuts, oats and coconut oil. -The middle is made from a blend of cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup and vanilla extract. -Finally, the top is made from fresh fruit for individual cheesecakes (yummy).

Shrove Tuesday!

Image
Happy Pancake Day These pancakes feel like such a treat but are full of nutritious ingredients and can really satisfy that sweet tooth. Give these a go today or this weekend and jump on the pancake bandwagon ;) I recommend to make lots of small pancakes, put them in the middle of the table with all the toppings and let everyone build their own stack. Ingredients (for three): 3 ripe bananas 100g oats 40g ground almonds (or just use more oats) 4 eggs 1 tsp of vanilla extract splash of milk 1 teaspoon of coconut oil Toppings: extra slices banana frozen berries honey nut butter (I used pip and nut or meridian) Method: 1) Put the oats in a food processor or blender and grind them down to a fine consistency (like flour) 2) Add bananas, almonds, eggs and vanilla then blend. 3) Add a splash of milk until the mixture is pour-able but not too thick. 4) Heat a pan with coconut oil and let it melt. 5) Use a large spoo...

New Product!

Image
One of our products that we have often used at the breakfast cafe is our homemade granola. It goes perfectly with yoghurt and different fruits such as pineapple and mango or raspberries and strawberries! It is one of the main staples in my own home kitchen as it can be eaten for breakfast, dessert or just to have as a snack. All of the ingredients provide a nutritional benefit and is naturally sweetened with the use of dried fruits and coconut flakes.  We absolutely love it so have decided to share it by finding the right packaging and labeling to fit with our brand identity.  We will be selling our first batch this weekend at the East Oxford market (14th January) and are looking forward to getting some feedback. #health #healthy #healthyeating #natural #sweet #naturallysweet #naturallysweetoxford #food #refinedsugarfree #yum #oxford #oxfordshire #caterer #healthylunch #healthylunchoxford #oxfordfood #nutrition #nutritious #oxfordhorspath #horspath #horspatho...

Recipe sharing- Banana and chocolate pancake stack!

Banana and chocolate pancakes When i realized how easy it is to quickly make up a batch of healthy pancakes, I started experimenting with different flavours.

Last breakfast cafe of 2016!

Image
We began our pop up breakfast cafe's in September in order to gain some experience. We have enjoyed them so much, we have continued to do them on a fortnightly basis. It has been so amazing to see people come back time and time again to have our food and enjoy the atmosphere we create. We have loved creating menus each week as we have so many ideas. It has been challenging for us to cook, prepare and serve dishes in vast amounts at one time- but an experience we have learnt from and enjoyed so much. We are looking forward to see what the new year brings! #naturallysweetoxford #oxford #cafe #oxfordcafe #healthyeatingoxford #healthyeatinghorspath #healthyeatingwheatley #healthyeatingcowley #healthyeatinggarsington #healthycafeoxford #lunchdeliveriesoxford #lunchdeliverieswheatley #lunchdeliveriesgarsington #lunchdeliveriesheadington #lunchdeliveriescowley #lunchdeliveriesjohnradcliffe #oxfordcaterer #vegetarianfoodoxford #vegetarianfoodwheatley #vegetarianfoodhorspath #...
