Miso Tofu Noodles - A quick and easy dinner idea that's vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free
Most Christmas dinners are not seen to be complete without meat being the centre piece, but I don't see why that has to be the case. You can create a delicious meat-free recipe that the whole family can enjoy that takes a fraction of the time to make compared to something like a turkey or chicken!

I've been eating quite a lot of tofu and I'm really enjoying experimenting with it at the moment. Since I've decided to start cutting back on my meat consumption and to stop cooking it at home, tofu has become a life saver! It's an amazing vegetarian/vegan source of protein and it's quite easy to cook once you know what you're doing.
Freekeh is a green wheat popular in Middle Eastern cuisine that's harvested when the grain is still young. Unlike the 'adult' version of the wheat, Freekeh contains more protein, minerals and fibre. It contains three times as much fibre as brown rice. Why does this make it special? Well a high fibre content means it's digested slowly and has a low GI number. A low GI means it doesn't cause the blood sugar to spike the way rice would. It also means it will make you feel fuller so you don't end up overeating.

I know I'm not alone when I say this - I'm obsessed with avocados! Another thing that I love is bruschetta - the crispy bread it's served on, the flavours and the simplicity of the idea! I've made simple tomato and basil bruschetta many times, then one day it occurred to me, why not add avocado? It made perfect sense.
Who says vegetarian has to be boring? Whoever thinks it is need to try this healthy pea, caramelised onion and feta quiche! It's bursting with flavour, colour and lots of different textures.
As some of you already know, I like keeping my recipes simple. To make this gluten free vegetarian spaghetti I'm making a simple tomato sauce using canned tomatoes and tomato puree and flavouring it with garlic, basil, chilli flakes and lemon jucie. I'm adding peas for some extra colour and texture but feel free to use minced meat or prawns for some protein.
