Artichoke Spaghetti With Hummus & Dukkah (v)
No Cheese Please I used to see pasta as just a vehicle for cheese. “Would you like some pasta with that cheese?” was a phrase I was very familiar with. But since I’ve started trying to eat less dairy, and be a little healthier, I’ve been trying more and more pasta recipes that taste…
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie (No Bake)
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie “I thought this would be disgusting but it’s actually really nice”, high praise indeed from my husband who was somewhat skeptical of my latest vegan baking trial!

These little beauties use the flesh from a whole baked butternut squash which is…
Thai Satay Salad With New Potatoes, Asparagus & Spring Greens (v)
Salad Dodging I used to be a salad dodger. I admit. But I’d only ever be served up limp, soggy lettuce and watery cucumber so who can blame me! I’ve now learnt that the trick to healthy eating is to make it taste so good you actually WANT to eat it. Hardly revolutionary I know but…
Vegan Bouncing Baby Bowl!
Hidden Beauty I wasn’t going to post this one because it looks kinda a mess. It’s a tea I made for myself one night when I felt like I needed a bit of a heath boost. I snapped a quick pic before I tucked in just in case, and I’ve decided to share it, despite…
