American Sweet Potato Bean Chilli

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 [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Mug Cake

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Mug Cake

Being in lockdown is the best time to put on your apron and get your bake on! If you’re bored and need some positive distraction, a quick baking session can only do you some good.

Now more than ever we’re looking for small comforts to get us through these unusual and uncertain times. Cake and a cup of tea may not solve any of our problems, but it can give us a short sense of relief and distraction. The best we can do right now is try to stay as positive as possible. There is some [...]

To me, pizza is the ultimate comfort food. A treat to have on a Friday evening after a hectic week or on a Saturday evening with good company and a movie. Vegan pizzas have such a bad reputation of being boring and tasteless, but I’m here to prove that theory wrong with this tuna pizza that’s packed full of flavour using plant-based tuna! Good Catch recently contacted me asking if I wanted to try their vegan tuna, and how could I say no to that? I didn’t [...]

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates A simple, yet decadent treat - these tahini stuffed chocolate covered dates are one of the easiest recipes on my blog, and one of my favourites too! As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best desserts ever! Really easy to make (very little prep and no baking required) and you don't have to make a big batch, but it's also easy to scale up depending on how many mouths you want to feed. If I'm only making it for myself I would probably make 5-6 so I have just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth after a meal, but I won't be as tempted to over eat. Another plus is that as well [...]
