Today we are sharing our favourite oatmeal cookies, which also happen to be pretty darn healthy. These little guys are vegan, gluten-free and have no refined sugar added; simple yet satisfying. Oatmeal, Chocolate, Banana and Cinnamon = the DREAM TEAM! There’s also a little bit of coconut oil in there (because you know even the … Read more
Mini Vegan Cheesecakes! Three words that are very deserving of an exclamation mark. I have been wanting to perfect this recipe for almost a full year and I have finally got to it, just in time for Spring. These no-bake raspberry lime cheesecakes are melt in your mouth rich and are perfectly tart, all without … Read more
This was my first time trying quinoa for breakfast and I was amazed how well it works as a porridge. Substituting quinoa for traditional oatmeal amps up the protein and fiber content. I found it kept me full right through to lunch which says a lot because I usually cannot survive the morning without snack … Read more
I first discovered the wonder that is vegan baked oatmeal just over a year ago and have been in love ever since. Baked oatmeal is for those mornings you where it’s been a rough week and you deserve a treat or when it’s so cold out you just need something warm and comforting for breakfast. Often I … Read more
I’m not sure if I ever had lentils before I met Mr. Pea. Now lentil soup is one of my favourite weekday meals. This dairy-free soup spiced with cumin, turmeric and garam masala is a surprisingly hearty lunch or dinner and pairs perfectly with naan, roti or even baguette. It also has a bit of … Read more
I’m currently hooked on anything lemon-poppyseed flavoured. You may have noticed, I’m not always very creative when it comes to flavourings…usually I just stick with chocolate. So I guess that’s why I’m so excited to branch out and make other flavoured sweets (dare I say I’m sick of chocolate? :O shock horror!) like these lemon … Read more
The lemon gives the broccoli a really nice tang. I believe that is the secret to getting my kids to eat broccoli – disguising that cruciferous flavour! It kind of makes this recipe an adult version of mac and cheese. And the main thing I love about this recipe is that it is quick to … Read more
Chocolate and beetroot are like best friends. They always have a good time when they hang out together! (Actually, chocolate seems to be friends with everything…orange, strawberries, bananas, macadamias, even chilli…). Chocolate and beetroot really had a fun time in this raw choc beet cake 😀 First, there’s the chocolatey base. It’s topped with a … Read more
Ok, so on to these banana cauliflower muffins. Yes, still going with this hidden vegetable theme 😀 trust me, you won’t be able to detect cauliflower in these muffins. (Unless you don’t blend it well enough – you might end up with chunks – so make sure you blend blend BLEND that cauliflower!). However even … Read more
Freshly toasted hot cross buns, smeared with melting butter, paired with a warm glass of chocolate milk. I never did really enjoy that cheap chocolate anyway, especially compared to hot cross buns. However, with the amount of sugar, refined flour, canola oil, and additives in store-bought hot cross buns, I very rarely buy them anymore. … Read more
