I’m on a journey to become predominantly plant based. I successful cut out meat in January and honestly haven’t missed it at all. If anything, the only thing I have missed is the convenience of throwing some breaded chicken in the oven for dinner or not having to check that there is something you can eat on a menu before booking a table for dinner. … Continue reading Asian Style Frittata
You’ve heard of smashed avocado on toast right? Yes! Because everyone has. I love avo toast as a breakfast or lunch meal but I’ve also been experimenting with upping my toast game in general recently. Somethings have definitely worked better than others I will say but the recipe today I think is one of the best I’ve tried. I got the inspiration from a pea, … Continue reading Smashed Pea, Mint and Feta Toast
Mushrooms are amazing! I never used to like them as a child but now that I’m an adult I put them in everything. There’s something about that umami flavour that just enhances every dish. I’m also a big fan of saving money and so that is why this recipe is Wonky Mushroom Risotto. Lots of supermarkets are now selling ‘wonky’ fruit and veg at much … Continue reading Wonky Mushroom Risotto
I adore curries, there is something so comforting about the aroma of the spices wafted out from the kitchen and the mouth-watering anticipation they generate. They are best, I find, when made in a huge pot so second helpings are easy to come by. This Vegetable Biriyani recipe if a favourite of mine to cook for a crowd and leave on the table for people … Continue reading Vegan Vegetable Biriyani
Before I started trying to cut down on my meat I was unaware of how great the humble chickpea could be. Like most millennials I love houmous but that’s about where my knowledge of chickpeas ended. Chickpeas are a great and cheap source of protein and I’ve been using them in everything from Greek style flat breads to salad toppers to cheeky snacks. The key … Continue reading Roasted Chickpeas
Smoothies are a great make ahead or grab and go breakfast and as I never have time to eat breakfast at home during weekday mornings, these are a lifesaver. I’m still using my trusty jam jar, from my last smoothie recipe, to transport my smoothies and I feel very green and if I’m honest a little smug when people compliment me on the recycling. I’m … Continue reading Very Berry Smoothie
I first had Chimichurri at an Argentinian Steak restaurant my partner and I went to on our anniversary. It was amazing, the flavours were explosive but not overpowering and complimented the meat perfectly. I looked everywhere to find a bottle or jar that I could keep at home but I think that even if I had, it would not have been as good as that … Continue reading Chimichurri
Smoothies are a great make ahead or grab and go breakfast and as I never have time to eat breakfast at home during weekday mornings, these are a lifesaver. A lady at work brings her smoothies in a jam jar which is a fantastic idea and I have been using this top tip ever since. It not only takes up less room in my bag … Continue reading Tropical Smoothie
Chicken Enchiladas used to be my favourite meal. They were so quick to make – thanks Old el Paso meal kits- and were just the tastiest dinner I could think of! I absolutely love Mexican food, the spices and cheese are just heaven on a plate but as I am trying to be a bit more health conscious, loading my plate with lots of enchilada … Continue reading Quorn Enchilada Bake
I’m excited to share my first vegan recipe on my blog. This is for a tangy Vegetable Dhansak. Dhansak is one of my favourite takeaways. I could happily chow down on it at anytime of day or night but as I am trying to be a bit healthier, eating take out from my favourite curry house all the time sort of defeats the hard work. … Continue reading Vegan Vegetable Dhansak
