Vegan Tuna Salad

Now that the weather is warming up and we’re having sunnier days, it seems like the perfect time to share a light and healthy salad that’s still hearty, filling and delicious! We’re all adjusting  to life in lockdown which  has quickly become the new norm. A lot of us are preparing way more homecooked meals than we’re used to and are on the lookout for ideas and inspirations. One of the worst feelings is when you’re hungry and you can’t think of what to prepare to eat, especially when you’ve already made a meal 4-5 hours ago. As much as I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen with new methods, techniques and flavours, sometimes all I want to do [...]

American Sweet Potato Bean Chilli

* This post is sponsored by American Sweet Potatoes* I’m a huge fan of meal prepping and batch cooking. It’s a great way to take the stress out of eating healthy as well as to save time and money! It’s also such a nice feeling knowing you have a pre-prepared meal waiting for you after a long and stressful day. It’s International Sweet Potato Week between the 1st and 11th April and I’m collaborating with American Sweet Potatoes to create a quick and easy prep-ahead of time lunch recipe that’s healthy, but also packed with flavour. I decided to make a vegan chilli as it’s easy and uses cheap ingredients that are easy to get hold of. I do use sweet [...]

Creamy Vegan Chickpea Risoni

Creamy Vegan Chickpea Risoni  * This post is sponsored by East End Foods* Creamy, delicious and packed with flavour - this creamy vegan chickpea risoni is the perfect quick and easy meal to try if you're still taking part in Veganuary or if you're wanting to continue to reduce your animal product intake once January is over. You don't have to be vegan to enjoy more plant-based meals. There is a common misconception that vegan meals are expensive, boring and lack in flavour. My diet is mainly plant-based and I can tell you that I never feel like I'm missing out on anything and I always make sure that my food tastes good by including lots of fresh ingredients as well [...]

Tofu Quinoa Sushi Bowl

Tofu Quinoa Sushi Bowl A quick and delicious meal that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. This tofu quinoa sushi bowl is both tasty and nutritious!  For many people, January is about developing new habits, self improvement and meeting health goals. However, this tends to be short lived as the temptation is for us to flip our diet on its head and change it completely as well as embark on a crazy new fitness regime that our bodies aren't used to. The combination of both just gets on top of us and we lose the will to carry it through. I've been there so I know exactly what it's like. Instead what we should be doing is making small changes here and [...]

Vegan Sweet Potato Cakes

Vegan Sweet Potato Cakes A delicious side to any meal, these vegan sweet potato cakes are yummy and really easy to make.  Seeing that my mushroom stuffed potato cakes are one of the most popular recipes on my blog, I thought I'd create another potato cake recipe only this time using sweet potatoes. This humble vegetable is so tasty as it is, but when mashing it with other vegetables and spices, shaping it into cakes and frying it in some coconut oil, they taste that much more amazing!  There are two ways of preparing the potatoes in this recipe. You can either boil them until soft, leave to cool and then mash them. Or what I like to do is roast them in the oven with salt, [...]

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash * This post is sponsored by Great British Apples* This is not your average potato hash recipe, this is a sweet potato hash with the addition of delicious tart apple chunks and veggie sausages as a good source of protein. It’s really quick and easy to put together and you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The leftovers would also make a really nice side dish to other meals too. If you’re not vegan/plant-based you can go ahead and top it with a couple of fried or poached eggs, although the sausages add more than enough protein to make it a filling and substantial meal as it is. You don’t have to [...]

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup Now that I’ve embarked on my 30s, it’s crucial for me to look after my body in any way that I can. In my younger days, it was so easy to think I was invincible, like nothing would ever hurt me. I was so used to my body being able to bounce back and recover from pretty much anything. It’s only when I started getting the aches and pains that come as a result of accumulated injuries/physical stress, bad posture and the natural process of aging that I started to consider taking steps to look after myself! Now, that resilience I grew so used to having is fading and I find myself looking for ways [...]

Vegan Pumpkin Curry

* This post is sponsored by East End Foods* Vegan Pumpkin Curry A delicious and warming vegan pumpkin curry that's perfect for the autumn and winter months!  I can't think of anything more comforting than a coconut based curry to warm me up on a cold day. Especially now that the days are becoming shorter too here in the UK. Come 6pm, I need a bowl of something comforting that's also packed full of flavours, and this curry ticks both those boxes! With it also being Halloween season and pumpkins are everywhere, this vegan pumpkin curry is a great way to make the most of this in season vegetable. It's also a great way to use up the flesh of carved pumpkins [...]

Thai curries made with creamy coconut milk are just so comforting and always make both my palette and belly very happy! It can seem a bit of a faff and time consuming to make it from scratch at home, but this version is so quick and easy and only takes 20 minutes to make.  Before owning my own air fryer I [...]
