This is an easy, no bake Christmassy dessert recipe with no refined nasties; just lovely flavours of cacao, chestnuts, cashews and clementine.
The roast chestnuts are from a packet so no need to roast or peel; just pop the ingredients in a food processor, blitz and cut the squidgy mixture into festive shapes!

Beetroot hummus adds a lovely colour pop to regular old hummus and extra nutrients but it can be quite an earthy flavour so with this recipe we have lightened things up with a little less beet to create a lovely baby pink hummus sweetened with apple.
I took photos of the pink hummus slathered onto figgy bread – so delicious and not much left for my 2 year old when he woke up after his afternoon nap – oops! Hummus is great for dipping baby crudités, lovely with avocado on toast and super tasty in a wrap.

I love macaroni; it reminds me of my Mum’s delicious macaroni bake which we used to devour after hours of swimming lessons when we younger. So this dish is for all the Mamma’s out there who get great joy seeing their kids wolfing down warm, creamy mouthfuls of pasta round the table after a long day.
Even though it is creamy, this recipe is dairy free and packed with nutrients. The zingy cherry tomatoes are fantastic against the bold flavour of the sauce; it will please a crowd of adults whilst being soft and yummy for baby mouthfuls too.
