Thai-inspired noodles with a spicy peanut sauce. Vegan, delicious, and quick to make for a tasty lunch or an easy dinner. This has become a favourite for lunch for me and my eldest son. (The younger children aren’t too keen on the spiciness). We started off buying some pre-packaged thai spicy peanut noodles & sauce, […]
Wild Herb & Quinoa Sushi
Quinoa sushi with herbs, radish and avocado. Sushi is a favourite lunch in our house – even my kids gobble it down! I try to make sushi a few times a month – it makes for an easy lunch if I have leftover cooked quinoa or rice from the previous night. When I was pregnant […]
Brahmi pesto : Bacopa monnieri recipe
Last week I told you guys about my current favourite herb, brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), which is a fantastic memory-boosting herb. You can take brahmi in the form of tea or capsules, but personally I love using the fresh herb – as close to nature as possible! I usually just add a few sprigs of brahmi […]
Heart Shaped Pizza & Balsamic Beet Spread
Heart shaped pizza with a pretty pink balsamic beet spread <3 Valentine’s Day is just a few days away! It’s not something that we really celebrate in our house, I never expect flowers or chocolates from my husband – don’t get me wrong, we are madly in love (even after nearly 9 years!) – but […]
Udon Noodle Salad Jars
Today’s VeganMoFo prompt is: 19. Lunch on the go. I’ve had a busy few days with a few big changes coming about (has anyone else had a big change these past few days?). I’ve decided to sell my beloved car, and we may be moving house (away from the farm…to the beach!). We’ll see what […]
Tempeh Burger with Sundried Tomato Pesto
Tempeh burger with sundried tomato pesto, on a homemade wholemeal bread roll. Today’s VeganMoFo prompt is: 11. Focus on a nutrient. I pretty much played “Eenie-meenie-minie-mo” until I picked my nutrient – and I decided to go with ZINC. As you are probably aware, zinc is an important mineral that we need in small (yet […]
Raw Mushroom Burgers
Today’s VeganMoFo prompt is: 5. Best sandwich ever. Sandwiches are a staple in our house, unfortunately. I hate bread. I mean, I love it. It’s so soft and fluffy and really hits the spot whether you need breakfast, lunch, dinner or something in between meals. But I hate bread…white bread in particular. It has little […]
Creamy Garlic Sauce
I have had the most refreshing week! Taking a technology break was an awesome idea. I’ll admit, I couldn’t stay away from technology completely, but I limited checking emails to just a few times a day (and stopped checking emails on my phone first thing in the morning). So instead of hovering around my computer/phone […]
Portable Vegan Picnic Salad
I had the pleasure of hosting lunch yesterday for two of my friends from high school. (Hello Helen and Ellen, if you’re stalking my blog ;) ) Originally I had planned for us to have a picnic lunch, but the weather had other plans; it was a dreary cold afternoon with drizzles of rain. Not […]
Vegan Baked Spring Rolls
The Chinese New Year is nearly upon us – on the 19th February we will welcome in the Year Of The Goat. I’m not Chinese at all or live in a Chinese community, but I think it is important to teach our children about other cultural events. So we celebrate all kinds of events during […]
