Game Changing Sweet Chilli-Soy Vegetable Stir Fry (Vegan!)
Via Pinterest ♥ I love stir fries – they are so quick, easy and awesome – but was getting a little bored of my standard issue sauce, which is tasty but was lacking some kind of stir fry X factor. This was an experiment that became one of those ‘hallelujah’ recipes! Double the sauce recipe, divide it…
Kidney Bean & Chickpea Salad with Spiced Citrus Dressing

Sweet Orange & Walnut Quinoa with Fruit
Quinoa gets a lot of love from people at lunch and dinner time, but it is also an awesome option for breakfast.

Chocolate Pudding Thickshake (Dairy Free and Delicious! )
This shake ticks three of my favourite boxes: vegan, chocolate and creamy. Drinking tofu may sound like some kinda craziness, but our beloved ‘fu falls into the background of this shake, providing a creamy, thick backdrop for all of the smooth chocolate-y sweetness. Never underestimate the power of stealth tofu: it’s in there, nourishing…
Flash Gordon Chilli
One hazy afternoon recently I was in the kitchen, pantry-staring, feeling tired and wondering what the easiest route to something hot and hearty was going to be. This recipe is the result. No chopping necessary! It’s as easy as throwing three things into a saucepan: tomatoes, beans and spices. Then basically all you have to…
