Beet-a-ganoush Dip Recipe

Beet-a-ganoush Dip Recipe If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know of my never ending love for Hummus. What you may not know is I'm also a huge baba ganoush fan. What can I say, I was brought up in the Middle East and both dips were a big part of my diet and so have a very special place in my heart! Luckily as well as being delicious they also happen to be super healthy, high in fibre, nutrients and good fats! I don't eat baba ganoush as much as I would like to since it's slightly more time consuming when compared to hummus (which I literally eat on the daily!), and when I do make it, it's [...]

Vegan Tofu ‘Chicken’ Nuggets

Vegan Tofu 'Chicken' Nuggets I was only exposed to chicken nuggets when I moved to the UK and as you can imagine, I absolutely fell in love with them! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and full of flavour. You can easily understand why every kid in the country is obsessed with them!  As delicious as they are, chicken nuggets aren't exactly known for their nutrition content. Unless homemade, they're heavily processed with lots of other unwanted added ingredients. Not only is my version lower in fat, it's also high in iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc and omega-3, all of which can be lacking in a not so well planned plant-based diet. Tofu is an amazing source of many micro nutrients and is [...]

Vegan Black Bean Nachos

Vegan Spicy Black Bean Nachos Since it's Friday today and apparently National Tortilla Chip Day, I just had to make a recipe using tortilla chips. Obviously it's not the healthiest thing in the world but it's ok to have every now and then as a treat. I've made it healthier by adding beans (for fibre and slow energy release), avocado (for an amazing source of fats), tomatoes, onions, and vegan cheese which you can leave out or use any kind of cheese you prefer.  Whenever I see nachos on a menu, I'm always so tempted by it. Especially if it's loaded with other delicious ingredients like avocado, tomatoes and jalapenos! But they're always smothered in cheese making them extra delicious of [...]

Pea Patties + Beetroot & Carrot Salad (Vegan & Gluten-free)

I can't stop making these pea patties. I've been so busy the last few weeks that I'm exhausted by dinner time and I just want to whip up something quick and easy. I seem to be making the same things over and over again, but when they taste as good as good as these patties I really don't mind, and the hubby doesn't complain either...

Baked Paprika Potato Wedges (Video)

White potatoes has such a bad reputation now, along with bread, rice...etc, but I don't see anything wrong with eating potatoes every now and then as part of a balanced diet. True, sweet potato is better for you as it offers an impressive serving of vitamin A which white potato lacks, but it's still a good form of carbohydrate to include in your diet.

Avocado Tomato Bruschetta

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.
