Chai Ice Cream Sandwiches (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Chai Ice Cream Sandwiches (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Chai Ice Cream Sandwiches (Vegan & Gluten-free) I am a self-confessed cookie monster. I just LOVE cookies, biscuits, or whatever else you want to call them. I love the soft kind, crunchy kind and everything else in between! What's better than eating one cookie? Eating two cookies, of course! And what's better than eating two cookies? Sandwiching some ice cream in between two cookies and creating ice cream cookie sandwiches! The first time I tried a cookie sandwich was on our honeymoon. We walked past a cafe in Spain and hubby asked me if I had ever tried an ice cream sandwich. He was like "you HAVE TO try an ice cream sandwich!" when he found out I'd never experienced the joy of [...]

Golden Smoothie & Chia Pudding Parfait

Golden Smoothie & Chia Pudding Parfait

Golden Smoothie & Chia Pudding Parfait If you've seen my golden turmeric milk post, you'll know how much I love turmeric and everything it has to offer. It's an ingredient I try to incorporate in my daily diet as a natural anti-inflammatory agent to help keep my eczema, IBS and inflammation at bay. So many of you loved the golden turmeric milk so much that I thought it would be appropriate for me to show you another easy way to incorporate this amazing ingredient into your diet. Another thing that I love just as much as turmeric is pre-prepared breakfasts. That's meals that you prepare the night before to take the stress out of breakfast time the following morning. I'm one of [...]

Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon Granola + Tesco Scan As You Shop Service Review

Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon Granola + Tesco Scan As You Shop Service Review

Since summer is still in full swing, even though it may not always feel like it with our UK yo-yo weather, I wanted to take a break from my usual type of recipes, typically chocolate centred treats, and focus on creating something fruity. Something light that's perfect served at a BBQ or a summer dinner party with ice cream! But before I get into that, I want to talk food shopping! Tesco invited me to try out their Scan As You Shop service at my local store, and to be honest prior to that I didn't really know much about it, how it worked and why to use it! Call me strange, but I'm one of those people who loves food shopping and [...]

Cauliflower Chickpea Salad with a Turmeric Tahini Dressing

Cauliflower Chickpea Salad with a Turmeric Tahini Dressing

Cauliflower Chickpea Salad with a Turmeric Tahini Dressing Salads are a must during the hot summer months. Especially during lunch when the sun is shining and I don't feel like having a warm, heavy meal. This cauliflower chickpea salad is super light yet satisfying at the same time. It can be enjoyed warm or cold. I know that for some, no matter what the temperature is outside, they don't like eating cold meals, which is fine. That's why this salad is perfect as it can be eaten warm or cold, depending on your personal preference! Served with a beautiful vibrant turmeric tahini dressing adding lots of flavour as well as a lovely and bright colour. Topped with chilli flakes for those [...]

Box’d Fresh Service Review

Box’d Fresh Service Review

If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen on my stories that I received a delivery from Box'd Fresh, which they sent me to try out and to give my honest opinion on. I've never tried a food delivery service like this and when I found out that they offered healthy and vegan options, I knew I had to try it! What's Box'd Fresh? Box'd Fresh is a meal delivery subscription service offering both meat and vegan options. Each week they have six new recipes to choose from and there are at least two vegan meals every week. The week that I received my box happened to be a week that included three vegan options, and they were all equally mouth watering! What I [...]

American Style Vegan Burgers

American Style Vegan Burgers

American Style Vegan Burgers Who doesn't love a delicious juicy burger? I certainly do! It's such a classic example of a comfort meal. One that's easy and quick to make and is very satisfying. Nothing beats a burger and fries when you're having a bad day and need a good 'stomach hug’, for a cosy sofa-supper or to bring friends or family gatherings to life. What if I told you, you can create fully plant-based burgers at home that taste absolutely scrumptious, are super-good for you and come in a beautiful rainbow of colours? Well you can, and I’ve teamed up with plant-based food brand Reroot Foods to create some delicious recipes using their new range GOODMINZ – fresh mince, [...]

Middle Eastern Buddha Bowl

Middle Eastern Buddha Bowl

Middle Eastern Buddha Bowl Middle Eastern food is by far my favourite cuisine, which shouldn't come as a surprise since I was brought up in the Middle East and grew up eating and loving all the different flavours and amazing ingredients that part of the world and culture had to offer! Food in the Middle East is extremely important. It's something to be celebrated, shared and enjoyed. Food and eating were never considered merely fuel and a way for us to survive and keep going. We always sat down on the table to eat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was no eating on the go and food was always made from scratch. No ready meals, no convenient packaged stuff and very rarely [...]

Vegan Tofu Tiramisu

Vegan Tofu Tiramisu

Vegan Tofu Tiramisu If you're trying to follow a plant-based diet that minimises the amount of animal products you eat, or if you're trying to eat healthier, then treating yourself to Tiramisu doesn't seem to be a viable option. Typically made with cream, mascarpone cheese, white sugar and lady fingers. None of those things scream health to me, definitely indulgence, not health. It's also usually made with alcohol so for people who can't drink alcohol like me, by default eating it is always out of the question. The good news is that you CAN make a healthier version at home. Without cheese, cream, dairy and alcohol! Not only that, you can make a plant-based version that's higher in protein! How? By using tofu as [...]

Chocolate Tahini Doughnuts (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate Tahini Doughnuts (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate Tahini Doughnuts I have yet another tahini recipe for you. I just couldn't resist. It's such a delicious and nutritionally amazing ingredient that I just want to add it/drizzle it onto anything and everything! There is no doubt that I eat tahini on a daily basis, either in my breakfast in the form of a drizzle over my smoothies, mixed into my porridge, or on the side of my lunch in hummus or just drizzled over my salad/veggies. These chocolate tahini doughnuts are vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free made using oats instead of flour, tahini instead of oil and dates instead of a refined sweetener. Not only are they much healthier than normal doughnuts, they're also super dense, [...]
