Mushroom Houmous This week I thought I would try something new! Of course, if mushrooms are something you prefer to leave, then try my regular houmous instead! Why mushroom houmous? Well, as many of you know, I hate food waste, and when I saw loads of mushrooms available on the food sharing app Olio, I had to rescue some! Many…
Swedish Meatballs aka Vegan Burgers As with most things in the Life Diet Health kitchen, these started out without a clue what they would become! After tasting the diced vegetables as they cooked, I knew with that wonderful flavour they could easily become something much greater than the bolognese I had planned. So my dinner plans went out the window…
If you’re not vegan, or at least vegetarian, tofu is probably something which you think you don’t like! If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you’ll know that I never used to eat tofu as I thought it was bland and tasteless! Turns out that I didn’t really know how to cook it properly! Well, it is ALL…
Happy February! ๐ Can you believe a whole month of 2017 has passed already?

Homemade Cereal Bars Yesterday we had some very welcome rain. Not hard pelting rain. Not drizzly cold rain. Soft, almost snow like fine rain. The sort you want to stand in and feel on your face (or is that just me!? ๐ ) Anyway, with the rain came a sudden drop in temperature from around 26 degrees centigrade (80ย f) to…
Leave, Lincoln & Luscious Lasagne! My laptop hasn’t been on since last Friday! I’m not (so I thought) interested in politics, but unless you’ve been hiding under a rock (or maybe in the desert) it’s a bit hard to avoid what’s been going on in the world. Even my primary school aged son came home and said they’d had their…
Aubergine & Chickpea Vegan Bake So, I am another year older ๐ and have spent almost the whole week being spoilt one way or another!
