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 [...]

Chai Chia Pudding

Chai Chia Pudding

Chai Chia Pudding Another super easy and nourishing breakfast that you can prepare ahead of time. This chai chia pudding is perfect if you're taking part in Veganuary or if you're simply trying to eat healthier this month. Even though Christmas is over and we're already half way through the first month of the new year, I'm still craving all the warming and comforting spices. I love chai tea, and I had the idea to create a recipe incorporating tea bags into a recipe instead of using whole or ground spices. Why not? I figured chai tea bags already have just the right combination of flavours making it a much easier way to get the perfect chai flavour into a recipe. Chia [...]

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars * This post is sponsored by FREEE* These breakfast fibre flake bars are perfect to enjoy on busy mornings either before you leave the house, or on-the-go. Are you looking for a fun way to liven up your breakfasts? I wanted a change from my usual smoothies and porridge bowls and felt I was stuck in a breakfast rut. Don't get me wrong, I love my porridge and smoothies, but every now and then I do like to change things up a little. A bit of a crunch is what I've been craving recently. Something crispy and satisfying to bite into! Also, I knew January was going to be a busy month after taking so much time out to [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies This is my first Christmas recipe of the year and I'm kicking it off with a good one - these vegan and gluten-free mince pies! When I think of a Christmas dessert, the first thing that pops into my head is a mince pie. Last year I made these no-bake mince pies and wanted to create a baked version. The beauty of a no-bake treat is it's easier and quicker to make, but I think baked treats always taste better! These vegan gluten-free mince pies are healthier than your average mince pie. Lower in added sugar (only 2 tbsp of maple syrup used in the whole recipe) and saturated fat, but at the same time higher in [...]

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash * This post is sponsored by Great British Apples* This is not your average potato hash recipe, this is a sweet potato hash with the addition of delicious tart apple chunks and veggie sausages as a good source of protein. It’s really quick and easy to put together and you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The leftovers would also make a really nice side dish to other meals too. If you’re not vegan/plant-based you can go ahead and top it with a couple of fried or poached eggs, although the sausages add more than enough protein to make it a filling and substantial meal as it is. You don’t have to [...]

Tefal ActiFry Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Sauce

Tefal ActiFry Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Sauce

Tefal ActiFry Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Sauce * This post is sponsored by Tefal * A delicious side or snack, this roasted cauliflower with lemon sauce recipe is so easy to make and a good way to add vegetables to any meal. Roasting vegetables is by far my favourite way to cook and eat my five-a-day. It adds so much richness to and flavour to them without having to use many ingredients or flavours. Just a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper is enough to bring any vegetable to life and make them taste 10 times better! Out of all the vegetables, cauliflower is my favourite one to roast (brussel sprouts is a very close second!). I find I can [...]

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 [...]
