  • Grilled Mushrooms with Spinach & Kale Pesto

    August 25, 2016 / Niki / Comments Off on Grilled Mushrooms with Spinach & Kale Pesto

    I’m writing this post from our place in the mountains in Spain and it’s super hot, by that I mean a meltingly hot 40 degrees! So I’m feeling just a little bit sticky but really relaxed. It’s hard not to be surrounded but the Pyrenees in our sleepy little village.

    And it’s my second week of going freelance! So I’ve swapped the safety of my marketing job to follow my foodie passion and enter the completely new world of full time blogging and food consultancy (find out more here). So what does that mean? Well, I’ll be my own boss (hurray), get to work with some amazing brands, be creative, say yes projects which may seem crazy or out of my comfort zone and basically have to work unbelievably hard. But I cant wait and I’m totally up for the challenge!

    I will also be planning some more workshops really soon so just let me know if you’re interested in coming along?

    When I started my blog and Instagram 18 months ago I would not have dared to hope for this and it’s only been possible because of connecting with you guys.  So thank you so much for your support as ever. What will the future hold?
    So back to my recipe; my grilled mushrooms with spinach pesto. Super tasty, healthy and of course simple to make. Great as a light dinner with a big salad or served on some of my celeriac mash, cauliflower or broccoli rice as a starter.

    Yum! I’m a massive mushroom fan and marinating them in this simple dressing adds tons of flavour. Topped with some of my favourite plant based pesto I think it’s a delicious combination of flavours. I really hope you enjoy, love Niki xx
