Za’atar Cornish New Potato & Sausage Bake

*This post is sponsored by Seasonal Spuds* A wholesome meal with in season Cornish New Potatoes and added protein in the form of vegan sausages making this bake a well-rounded, filling and satisfying meal! Packed with flavour from the za’atar mix – a popular Middle Eastern herb mix mainly made up of finely crushed dried thyme, sumac and sesame seeds. I grew up in the Middle East and so this spice mixture is really close to my heart. It’s still not very well known in the UK, but is now stocked in most major supermarkets either in the spice isle or a the world food isle. Za’atar goes well with many types of dishes – mainly used on bread with [...]

Vegan Single-serving Chocolate Protein Cookie

* This post is sponsored by The Protein Works*  Here's another super easy, few ingredient recipe that's perfect if you feel like baking, but you live alone or with your partner and don't necessarily want to bake a whole tray of cookies. Of course you can always double, triple, quadruple, etc. the recipe if you have more mouths to feed. I’m using The Protein Works Vegan Wondershake – the world’s first vegan protein shake that tastes just like a dairy shake! It tastes amazing and is so silky smooth and creamy with each serving containing 22g of protein per serving. It also contains only 89 calories per serving! I'm also using The Protein Works Loaded Nuts - Choco Caramel Biscuit Tidal - [...]

Banana Bread Mug Cake

Another quick and easy dessert that's ready in just 5 minutes. This banana bread mug cake is the perfect single serve slice of cake for people like me who when they crave a cake, they want it right now! Even though we're in lockdown and many of us are finding a lot more free time on our hands than usual, I'm still finding that my easy, few ingredient and quick recipes are doing the best. So I'm going to keep making those kind of recipes! I can see why - just because I have more free time doesn't mean I have the energy to make complicated desserts that take ages to make and leave me with a sink full of [...]

Mocha Overnight Oats & Mocha Granola

A delicious mocha overnight oats recipe topped with homemade crunchy mocha granola – both made using Rheal’s new Mushroom Coffee. Overnight oats has been my go-to breakfast for years. It’s just so convenient to prepare your breakfast the night before and have it waiting for you the next morning. It’s also a healthy option for breakfast – packed with fibre in the oats and by adding things like nut butters and nuts you can get some healthy fats and protein in there too! I always like to have a jar of homemade granola in my kitchen to enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack when I’m feeling peckish and craving something sweet and crunchy. It’s also nice to have something [...]

American Sweet Potato Bean Chilli

* This post is sponsored by American Sweet Potatoes* I’m a huge fan of meal prepping and batch cooking. It’s a great way to take the stress out of eating healthy as well as to save time and money! It’s also such a nice feeling knowing you have a pre-prepared meal waiting for you after a long and stressful day. It’s International Sweet Potato Week between the 1st and 11th April and I’m collaborating with American Sweet Potatoes to create a quick and easy prep-ahead of time lunch recipe that’s healthy, but also packed with flavour. I decided to make a vegan chilli as it’s easy and uses cheap ingredients that are easy to get hold of. I do use sweet [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Mug Cake

Being in lockdown is the best time to put on your apron and get your bake on! If you’re bored and need some positive distraction, a quick baking session can only do you some good. Also, being in quarantine means it’s not as easy to nip out and get a slice of cake when you’re really craving something sweet. Now more than ever we’re looking for small comforts to get us through these unusual and uncertain times. Cake and a cup of tea may not solve any of our problems, but it can give us a short sense of relief and distraction. The best we can do right now is try to stay as positive as possible. There is some [...]

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 [...]

Tefal Actifry Green Curry with Crunchy Vegetables

Tefal Actifry Green Curry with Crunchy Vegetables * This post is sponsored by Tefal * A deliciously healthy, yet hearty recipe packed with flavour and lots and lots of vegetables! This green curry with crunchy vegetables would make an amazing quick and easy week day dinner. A well known dish made healthier! I love Thai food, and green curries are no exception. Thai curries made with creamy coconut milk are just so comforting and always make both my palette and belly very happy! It can seem a bit of a faff and time consuming to make it from scratch at home, but this version is so quick and easy and only takes 20 minutes to make.  Before owning my own air fryer I [...]

Vegan Vegetable Jalfrezi

Vegan Vegetable Jalfrezi *This post is sponsored by East End Foods* A delicious and aromatic vegan vegetable jalfrezi packed with goodness and bursting with flavour! Today I bring to you yet another speedy dinner idea! This super easy Jalfrezi recipe only calls for 5 main ingredients and around 20 minutes of your time to prepare, including the chopping and ingredient prep.

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 [...]
