Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites A delicious, easy and speedy treat that's healthier for you but still tastes delish! These vegan & gluten-free cookie dough bites are packed with healthy fats, fibre and yummy flavours. It's been a month since my last post! I can't believe I left it so long, although I have to say I did have a good excuse. Many of you already know that I've been working really hard the past few years on getting my nutrition qualification and the last few weeks I've been keeping my head down trying to get my end of year portfolio submitted. 3 case studies, an essay and a whole lot of paper work took it out of me. [...]

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream A quick and easy ice cream recipe that requires no churning! It's also much healthier than shop bought ice cream. I've been craving ice cream a lot recently. My flat is like a sauna and attracts the heat. So much so that it's actually warmer in the flat than it is outside! So you can imagine how hot it feels when it's 30 degrees outside. The only things I've been wanting to eat are ice cream and water melon. I've also been experiencing digestive problems due to stress and the fact that I haven't been eating well the past couple of months. I usually have a massive appetite and I'm always hungry. Now I find myself [...]

Air Fryer Vegan Samosas

Air Fryer Vegan Samosas

Air Fryer Vegan Samosas Delicious crispy vegan samosas made healthier by cooking in an air fryer with less oil. I love samosas, but they can be a bit heavy and greasy so I usually stay away from them. However these homemade air fryer samosas are so light, yet still taste delicious! The whole recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of oil so they're much lighter and still as crispy as the ones you get from a takeaway. It's not easy getting hold of vegan or dairy-free samosas, especially around where I live. So I haven't had a samosa in years and I really missed them. This was my first ever attempt at making samosas. I was under the impression that making your own homemade [...]

Breakfast Berry Crumble

Breakfast Berry Crumble

Breakfast Berry Crumble Dessert for breakfast? Yes please! This breakfast berry crumble is bursting with blueberry and raspberry goodness and topped with the most scrumptious crumble topping! A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for this raspberry almond baked oats and it was received so well. I guess you all love berries and oats just as much as I do :D I thought I would make another breakfast recipe with berries. Especially seeing that the weather isn't getting any warmer in the UK and we still need all the comfort we can get first thing in the morning before kickstarting our day. Although the word 'breakfast' is in the title, there is no reason why you can't enjoy this breakfast berry crumble any time [...]

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 Raspberry Cheesecake Cups (cashew-free/nut-free/gluten-free)

Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Cups (cashew-free/nut-free/gluten-free)

Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Cups Mini vegan raspberry cheesecake cups that also happen to be cashew-free, nut-free and gluten-free! If you search for vegan cheesecake recipes online you'll find that most of them are made with the same main ingredient - cashews! Not that there's anything wrong with cashews, but I wanted to make a plant-based cheesecake that resembles the 'real thing' and I found the best way to do that is by using a dairy-free cream cheese alternative. Both the taste and texture is more true to the original, which is what you want really if you're making a 'cheesecake'. Especially if you're making it for a non-vegan and you want to impress them, a cashew cheesecake just won't cut [...]

Chilli Butternut Squash Soup

Chilli Butternut Squash Soup

Chilli Butternut Squash Soup Up until recently I've never been a huge soup fan. I just didn't grow up eating much soup, apart from lentil soup (my fave), so it never appealed much to me. However over the past few weeks I found myself actually craving soups, so I started to buy ready made soups when doing my weekly food shop. I'm usually a cold meal kind of person and I'm not usually fussed whether a meal is hot, room temperature or cold, but recently my body has been craving warm food. Comfort foods mainly. Stews, curries, porridge...and soup! I decided to try making my own instead of relying on ready made soups. They're fairly easy to make, cost a lot less and [...]

California Walnut Coffee Cake Bars

California Walnut Coffee Cake Bars

California Walnut Coffee Cake Bars Looking for the perfect cake to enjoy with your afternoon cup of tea? This is it right here! These California walnut coffee cake bars are my current favourite pick me up with a lovely warm drink. I usually go for chocolatey desserts, but I always get excited when I see a coffee treat on offer. Chocolate is everywhere, but a decent coffee dessert is much harder to come by, so when you finally discover one it feels so much more special. I think coffee as a flavour is not taken advantage of enough in the baking world. Even I rarely make coffee flavoured treats. Well that's about to change from this point onwards. A delicious vegan [...]
