Tis the season for salads spiked with summer fruit.
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.

Quickie Potato and Cannellini Bake
This is one of those dishes that you can quickly prepare in zombie mode, especially if you already have a jar of sauce to hand. One night a month or so ago, I felt like making a new, super easy potato-thing that was a bit more substantial than the standard roasted chunks we usually…

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…
