Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Pots

Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Pots

(AD) A delicious dessert that takes no time at all to put together. A simple treat made up of a 2 ingredient base, a creamy cheesecake centre and a berrylicious topping! Served in pots/glasses for ease. I’ve always preferred no-bake cheesecakes to the baked versions as these taste so much lighter and the no baking part means there’s one less thing to do. For me, the easier the recipe the better, especially when it comes to making desserts. Now that so many of us are spending more time cooking our main meals at home, a lot of us are in search for quick and easy treats that call for few ingredients and little washing up afterwards. Serving these delicious Vegan [...]

Chickpea Cookie Dough Balls

Chickpea Cookie Dough Balls

I'm a huge fan of the idea of adding beans, lentils and pulses into sweet treats. They bump up the fibre, mineral and vitamin content while giving desserts a lovely moist texture. It also means you don't need to add as much flour or even cut it out completely! Beans & pulses are so underrated, under-consumed and unappreciated. They're such an amazing source of nutrients, protein and fibre and yet as a nation we hardly ever eat them! Baked beans are probably the only exception but they come with added salt and sugar and to be fair there is only so much you can do with them. On toast, on baked potatoes or on the side of a fry up. Beans and pulses are [...]

Festive Gingerbread Bundt Cake

Festive Gingerbread Bundt Cake

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* Only a week left before Christmas! If you’re looking for a last-minute festive treat that’s both gluten-free and vegan (and delicious!), then you have to try this festive gingerbread bundt cake! One of the best things about Christmas is all the yummy baked goods. What better excuse to bake than Christmas? And for me, when I think about festive desserts, the first one that comes to mind is gingerbread! Those warming and aromatic spices fill the house with so much festivity and cheer. Typically gingerbread is made in the form of cookies or gingerbread men (I actually shared my take on gingerbread cookies, which you can find here), but I wanted to incorporate it [...]

Festive Orange Cranberry Banana Bread

Festive Orange Cranberry Banana Bread

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* You can’t beat a good slice of banana bread – it never fails to impress, but only when it’s rich, moist and packed with yummy flavours, like this festive orange cranberry banana bread is. Even though I’m a HUGE banana bread fan, I somehow managed not to make one throughout both lockdowns when everyone else was going banana bread mad! I’ve recently been craving a moist slice of sweet banana bread though, so decided to make a festive version seeing that Christmas is only 2 weeks away! ? This banana bread is completely gluten-free and vegan. I used a mixture of FREEE Gluten-Free Plain White Flour and ground almonds to give it that moist [...]

HelloFresh Review – Creamy Lentils and Plant Based Chicken

HelloFresh Review – Creamy Lentils and Plant Based Chicken

*This post is sponsored by HelloFresh* Today I’m reviewing the UK’s leading recipe box company, HelloFresh, who deliver recipe cards and ingredients straight to your doorstep taking away the hassle from dinner time. You’ve probably already heard of it and may be curious to find out how it works and what to expect from the service. It goes without saying that I love cooking. I’m definitely in my element when I’m in the kitchen whipping up a delicious meal or a tasty treat, but it can get a little too much sometimes. I spend my days either experimenting with recipes, filming recipes, editing food content or thinking about the next recipes to try. It’s my dream job and I absolutely love [...]

Festive Chocolate Orange Scones Vegan & Gluten-free

Festive Chocolate Orange Scones Vegan & Gluten-free

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* Is there anything more comforting on a cold, rainy day than a lovely warm homemade scone and a cup of tea? How about a chocolate orange scone? It’s definitely my go to treat for this time of year! These chocolate orange scones are super comforting and they couldn’t be easier to make. I used a mixture of FREEE Gluten Free Self Raising White Flour and oat flour, which I made myself by blending gluten-free oats – try FREEE’s Gluten Free Porridge Oats - into a fine flour in the food processor. The scones are also vegan, but they don’t have to be if you’re not avoiding milk or butter. They can also easily be [...]

California Walnut Keema

California Walnut Keema

*This post is sponsored by California Walnuts* Keema is a minced meat dish usually made with minced beef or lamb. It’s an Indian dish, but variations of it are enjoyed in other counties like Pakistan, Bangladesh and even in Middle Eastern countries. I grew up in Iraq and we make it minus the chilli, so basically a milder version of it, but equally as delicious! It’s such a comforting meal, especially served with rice in a bowl during the cold winter months! I’m creating a vegan version using California Walnuts by blending the walnuts into a ‘mince’ then soaking it in water to make it lovely and soft to mimic real minced meat. This way it will absorb all the [...]

Korean California Walnut Bowl

Korean California Walnut Bowl

*This post is sponsored by California Walnuts* I absolutely LOVE Korean food. It is usually quite heavy on the meat, but it’s so easy to make your own vegen/vegetarian Korean dishes at home, like this Korean California Walnut bowl I’ll be showing you how to make in this post! I’m using a combination of California Walnuts and tofu as the plant based meat substitute. The walnuts are an amazing source of essential fatty acids in the form of omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) 2.7g/ 30g* as well as protein. The tofu is another great source of protein and together they make such an amazing minced meat substitute that’s delicious and balanced. The mild and creamy flavour of California walnuts make them [...]

Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Pudding

Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Pudding

*This post is sponsored by Bulk Powders* Silky, smooth and satisfying breakfast with added protein. This Peanut Butter protein breakfast pudding tastes more like a dessert, but it's packed with fibre, healthy fats and protein. I love adding protein to my breakfast as it prevents sugar slumps. I used to get the worst sugar crashes. That jittery feeling a couple of hours after breakfast that leaves me feeling irritable, on edge and unable to concentrate. I still get those crashes if I don't eat a well balanced breakfast with protein and fat. Simple carb rich breakfasts low in fat and protein just don't suit me well at all! And so far what I've seen in the clinics I've observed as well [...]

Vegan Caramel Filled Chocolate Cookies

Vegan Caramel Filled Chocolate Cookies

* This post is sponsored by Nature’s Charm* A chocolate cookie with a yummy hidden surprise - These vegan caramel filled chocolate cookies are exactly what you need during this lockdown! We all need a little cheering up. It's bad enough that we're having to spend our days in doors without being able to see friends and loved ones, but this cold and gloomy weather is only making things that much more difficult! I think many of us, myself include, need little pleasures throughout the day. Something to look forward to to make the day a little easier. For me, cookies are the ultimate comfort treat. Especially when paired with a cup of tea. That time on the sofa afternoon [...]
