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, [...]

Chai Chia Pudding

Chai Chia Pudding Another super easy and nourishing breakfast that you can prepare ahead of time. This chai chia pudding is perfect if you're taking part in Veganuary or if you're simply trying to eat healthier this month.  Even though Christmas is over and we're already half way through the first month of the new year, I'm still craving all the warming and comforting spices. I love chai tea, and I had the idea to create a recipe incorporating tea bags into a recipe instead of using whole or ground spices. Why not? I figured chai tea bags already have just the right combination of flavours making it a much easier way to get the perfect chai flavour into a recipe. Chia [...]

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars

  Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars * This post is sponsored by FREEE* These breakfast fibre flake bars are perfect to enjoy on busy mornings either before you leave the house, or on-the-go. Are you looking for a fun way to liven up your breakfasts? I wanted a change from my usual smoothies and porridge bowls and felt I was stuck in a breakfast rut. Don't get me wrong, I love my porridge and smoothies, but every now and then I do like to change things up a little. A bit of a crunch is what I've been craving recently. Something crispy and satisfying to bite into! Also, I knew January was going to be a busy month after taking so much time out to [...]

Tahini Chocolate Bliss Balls

Tahini Chocolate Bliss Balls A healthier treat to start the new year right! These deliciously rich tahini chocolate bliss balls would make a great on-the-go snack to keep your blood sugar levels balanced or a light post meal dessert. It's no secret that I'm a huge tahini fan and I'm constantly trying to find new ways to include it in recipes. Especially desserts as I think tahini is such a versatile ingredient to include in healthy treats. I also find it goes exceptionally well with chocolate - my other food love! So I threw them together with a few other basic ingredients to create this super easy, speedy and no-bake snack.  These tahini chocolate bliss balls are the kind of thing I like [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Spiced Pecan Pie * This post is sponsored by East End Foods* A delicious festive treat that's guaranteed to satisfy the whole family. This vegan gluten-free spiced pecan pie is my current favourite Christmas dessert and one I can see myself making for years to come. Happy Holidays! It's that time of year to spend with friends, family and to indulge in lots of delicious food! I've been wanting to make a pecan pie for the longest time and I've finally got around to it. It took me a few tries to get it right, but all good things require require patience and all good recipes require a few tweaks to make sure the end result is as good as it can [...]

All you need to do is melt and mix the ingredients in a pan, roll into balls and coat them in melted chocolate. If you're not a big peppermint fan, you can substitute the peppermint extract for something like orange extract, caramel flavour or keep it plain and simple with some vanilla [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies  This is my first Christmas recipe of the year and I'm kicking it off with a good one - these vegan and gluten-free mince pies! When I think of a Christmas dessert, the first thing that pops into my head is a mince pie. Last year I made these no-bake mince pies and wanted to create a baked version. The beauty of a no-bake treat is it's easier and quicker to make, but I think baked treats always taste better!  These vegan gluten-free mince pies are healthier than your average mince pie. Lower in added sugar (only 2 tbsp of maple syrup used in the whole recipe) and saturated fat, but at the same time higher in [...]

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 [...]

Tefal ActiFry Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Sauce

Tefal ActiFry Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Sauce * This post is sponsored by Tefal * A delicious side or snack, this roasted cauliflower with lemon sauce recipe is so easy to make and a good way to add vegetables to any meal.  Roasting vegetables is by far my favourite way to cook and eat my five-a-day. It adds so much richness to and flavour to them without having to use many ingredients or flavours. Just a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper is enough to bring any vegetable to life and make them taste 10 times better!  Out of all the vegetables, cauliflower is my favourite one to roast (brussel sprouts is a very close second!). I find I can [...]

No-bake Vegan Berry Cheesecake Jars

  No-bake Vegan Berry Cheesecake Jars A dairy-free, vegan and gluten-free dessert that requires no baking and is really easy to put together. This no-bake vegan berry cheesecake jars are the perfect fuss-free dinner party dessert!  This recipe is perfect for those days when you're craving a cheesecake, but don't want to make a whole cheesecake that serves eight to ten people when you live alone or with a partner and don't have that many mouths to feed. I live on my own so recently I've been turning to single-serve recipes to ensure I don't over eat (which is impossible when I have treats lying around!), but more importantly so nothing goes to waste. Whenever I'm testing recipes, more often than not [...]
