I always remember as a child when my mom made pancakes, they were always prefect… how?!?! She would always make a big batch and then freeze some which were so easy to defrost and have at any time… maybe that is where I get my tendency to always cook more than needed for any meal…

Reflections on My Year Being Dairy, Meat and Gluten Free
Re sharing an article I wrote for CelebritySlimBlog, which is on their website. If you have any questions please add them into below comments.

Apple and Blackberry crumble
This recipe write up will be short and sweet, but still delicious and so easy to have in the fridge for a few evenings to give yourself a nice pudding and remove the temptation for anything naughtier!

Vegan Basil Pesto with Edamame Spaghetti
Pesto and pasta is one of the quickest dinners to knock together, and is always an enjoyable meal. However it is not always an available option to use a store bought bottle of pesto if you are vegan or nut free. However saying nut free is something I questioned before writing it. Hubby has a…

Carrot Cake – vegan and gluten free
I have tried and tested this a few times and always very successful. I made this over the holidays and I remember when I told my father in law that it was vegan and gluten free… the look on his face… disbelief that it would taste good. He however was caught red handed going back…
Beetroot, Banana, Blueberry snack bars
The 3 Bs….. which are all great for you! I went through an odd few months after I first started being vegan, where all of a sudden I became ill soon after eating a banana.. it only happened three times but I got the picture. It was so strange so I hit the internet but…
Red Lentil Lasagne… kiddie version
Charlie had a friend over after school the other day and I was trying to think of what to make for two energetic 5 year olds… with the added issue of my youngest not eating these days. So I eventually decided on making individual portions of red lentil lasagne for them. My kids love cheese…
