Salt ‘n’ Chili Tofu Ever had something at a restaurant you wanted to recreate at home? This is one of my favourite Chinese style dishes and although it’s not the healthiest (it does need frying) at least you’ll know what’s in it! 🙂 I never actually thought I’d be able to make this but it’s so easy when you know how! These…
Brilliant Banana Bread Muffins VEGAN & Gluten Free Well, it certainly seems like summer here in the UK with temperatures staying in the 20’s (68f+) all week BUT that doesn’t mean we haven’t had rain! Oh we’ve had two thunderstorms with sheet lightning AND a hail storm with hail the size of chickpeas! Oh yes! It was noisy! Real noisy!…
What’s quicker than take-out? Cheeky Chickpeas! Do you love the lighter brighter evenings? Do you find yourself having dinner later and later? Well, last night hubby decided he wanted very hot curry (to get rid of a headache)! Realising that it was already 6.30pm (we have dinner at 6pm on a school night) he rang his favourite take-away. Did I…
Back to Basics: Buddha Bowl Buddha Bowl? What’s that!? Well, I just realised that it’s been a long time since I posted anything new in Back to Basics! The weather has suddenly changed and the garden is springing into life! 😀 My spinach and chard are starting to grow and the mixed leaves are poking through the soil. There’s some…
Creamy Chunky Coleslaw… Vegan! Ooo it was sunny here today! Up to 18 degrees centigrade! 🙂 Bearing in mind that last night we were threatened with a frost, the temperature today was none too shabby! 🙂 So, sunny weather brings lighter food, salads and ice cream! I’m not sure how long this weather will stay but this chunky coleslaw is…
Chickpeas in less than ten minutes Don’t you just love quick meals! 🙂 Sure you could stab a microwave meal and ping it for five minutes. You could even grab something from the freezer and throw it in the oven for ten minutes. I’d rather make this! 😀 Chickpeas are almost a staple in our house – they’re full of…
Not your average sushi… Being a vegetarian since the late 1980’s, sushi was one thing which I was never really aware of. I’m not sure how much raw fish would have appealed to me anyway but bundles of colourful flavoursome vegetables all wrapped together tightly for a burst of flavour… yes please! 🙂 I’m not a great fan of rice (apart…
Chocolate Caramel Slice… Vegan & Free-From WHAT… the Easter holidays are over already!? How did that happen? It’s back to school day here 🙁 I’m not sure about you and yours but it vanished in an instant! I guess that might have something to do with the fact that someone ran into our car and we spent most of the…
Easter Hacks: aka Cheats Hot Cross Buns! OH MY GOSH!!! Yes.. I need to shout! 😛 Last year I created my own free from hot cross buns which were amazing and if you have the time I’d highly recommend them BUT… they do take a long time AND wouldn’t you rather be doing something else like eating making chocolate or…
