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 [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble A quick and easy, vegan and gluten blueberry crumble that's guaranteed to warm you up on a cold winter evening! I'm very big on no-bake, chilled desserts. I find them a lot easier to make with less steps and much harder to get wrong. However, when winter kicks in I, like many others, start to crave comforting and warming food, and that applies to desserts too! I can't think of a dessert more warming and comforting than a crumble ? served warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream...can't imagine anything more divine whilst cosied up on the sofa in front of a warm fire - pure joy! I wanted to create a crumble that's really quick [...]

Cookie Dough Brownies Vegan, Gluten-free & Sweetened With Dates

Cookie Dough Brownies Vegan, Gluten-free & Sweetened With Dates

Cookie Dough Brownies Vegan, Gluten-free & Refined Sugar-free This is one of my favourite creations. Not only because they taste absolutely delicious and decadent, they're also probably the healthiest baked treat I've made so far! Made with black beans, oats and sweetened only with whole dates! Everyone who's tried these yummy bites has instantly fallen in love with them, which is such a joy to hear when you put your heart and soul into your creations and get such positive feedback. It's what keeps me going and keeps me curious - experimenting with different cooking and baking methods and alternative ingredients to try and make my treats as healthy and wholesome as possible whilst making sure they still [...]

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup

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 [...]

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies – Vegan & Gluten-free

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies – Vegan & Gluten-free

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies A crunchy cookie shaped like a doughnut. Who could resist one of these chocolate chip doughnut cookies? I haven't posted a dessert recipe on my blog in a while, which is so unlike me! So I thought it was about time I posted a new healthified treat. Chocolate chip cookies are a classic, and although they're perfect just the way they are, I wanted to put a fun spin on them. I used a silicon doughnut mould to create choc chip cookies shaped like a doughnuts to make them stand out from the crowed, and also because why not? I don't know what it is with me and doughnut shaped treats that are not actually doughnuts! I just [...]

Mushroom Stuffed Potato Cakes

Mushroom Stuffed Potato Cakes

Mushroom Stuffed Potato Cakes Fluffy potato cakes stuffed with a fragrant lemony herby mushroom mixture. These mushroom stuffed potato cakes would make an amazing addition to meals. I made these potato filled cakes around this time last year and they went down a treat with the family. I had it in mind to make this recipe again to share on the blog, but then completely forgot about it! I then made them again a couple of months ago, took the photos, but wasn't 100% happy with the way the shots turned out. Now I've got my act together, made them again and actually took some really decent pictures this time. So now I can finally satisfied with the cakes AND the images. [...]

Vegan Caramel Magnum

Vegan Caramel Magnum

Vegan Caramel Magnum If this UK heat isn't a good excuse to make my own homemade version of Magnums, then I don't know what is! Not that I need an excuse to make any form of ice cream. I welcome ice cream any time of the year, but I definitely crave it a lot more when it's scorching hot. So hot that even having a fan facing me at all time doesn't really do much to stop the sweating. I posted a picture of these vegan caramel Magnums on my Instagram page yesterday as a teaser and I received such an amazing response, so I just had to post them ASAP. As someone commented "it would be rude not to [...]

Strawberry Chocolate S’mores

Strawberry Chocolate S’mores

Strawberry Chocolate S'mores S'mores aren't really a thing here in the UK, but they really should be! Two crunchy biscuits (aka cookies) with a melted marshmallow and melted chocolate. I can't think of anything better :D I missed out on so many years of toasted marshmallow goodness. I really didn't know what I was missing out on until I tried one for the first time and I was hooked! Really puts the regular, un-toasted marshmallow to shame. And now you can get gelatine-free marshmallows too (yay!!). In celebration of the Royal Wedding, I've created a traditional American recipe with a British twist by adding in some chopped strawberries to give them a 'strawberries and cream' feel. Everyone is in agreement [...]

Chai Hot Chocolate (Vegan & With No Added Sugar)

Chai Hot Chocolate (Vegan & With No Added Sugar)

Chai Hot Chocolate (Vegan & With No Added Sugar) A delicious and warming chai hot chocolate with no dairy and no added sugar! Have you made any New Year's resolutions? If so were you able to stick to them? I haven't made any as such, but I've been making a conscious effort to cut down on the amount of sugar I consume. A big part of my job consists of creating and experimenting with new recipes, most of which happen to be sweet because they're the kind of recipes you (my lovely blog readers and social media followers) seem to love most! And I'm usually not 100% happy with a recipe unless I've tried it 3-4 times. Sometimes even more! So you can imagine [...]

Tesco Wicked Kitchen Plant-based Meals Review (AD)

Tesco Wicked Kitchen Plant-based Meals Review (AD)

Tesco Wicked Kitchen Vegan Meals Review ••WATCH MY VIDEO REVIEW ABOVE•• Have you heard that Tesco have recently released a whole range of plant-based ready meals, sandwiches and wraps? I was so excited when I heard about these products. Finally there are options for us plant-based eaters that are so easily accessible to everyone. I live up north in Manchester and I struggle to find meals and sandwiches that are both meat and dairy-free. Sometimes when I'm out food shopping I like to pick up a couple of pre-prepared meals for those days when I know I'll be too busy to cook a meal. There are also times when I'm out and about and need to grab something quick for lunch and it's [...]
