Have a skin-friendly Easter with this recipe ... It's nearly Easter so today we made a healthy carob chocolate bar that is low in  salicylates (the chemicals that can irritate eczema), caffeine-free, soy-free, gluten-free and dairy-free ... which is not an easy feat as there are no recipes we could follow that totally met our criteria. So we made our own, using three key ingredients ... Attempt number two was a success, and we now know that you CANNOT mix maple syrup with cocoa butter as it curdles! My son Jack has just tested this chocolate bar (and asked for more), so it has passed the 'fussy child' test with...

This lasagna contains healthy skin-loving foods including red cabbage, which supplies skin...

So this recipe toasts the sweet potato in the toaster and it takes less than 5 minutes.  It's easy to make, can be sweet or savoury and the best part is, it’s filled with eczema friendly ingredients which are great for nourishing your skin. My favourite is topped with cashew nut butter and caramelized leeks. But the one with carob syrup and banana was amazing too. This is a super easy, grain-free breakfast. Sweet potato is...
