I love my oats. Can’t get enough of ‘em. I’ve had plain old oatmeal for breakfast every day now for almost 10 years – and I still love it! For a while there I tried to freshen it up on Sundays by making pancakes… but nope. Back to oatmeal. It’s not even the fancy jazzed-up…
Vegan
Cauliflower and Turnip Soup
Turnip. Or swede? I’m never 100% sure of the difference between the two to be honest – and neither is anyone else that I talk to. But according to Google (or more precisely topveg.com) the turnip is slightly smaller than swede and more round in shape. Also, the flesh is a little whiter. But this…
Nut Roast
Here we are folks! Yet another belated Christmas-themed recipe coming your way! (Yeah I know, I’m slow…) So, without further ado – Nut Roast! This Nut Roast recipe has been made specifically vegan and gluten-free (and a whole bunch of other-things free) to accommodate a range of picky diets like mine who are looking for…
Mushroom Sauce
I thought it was about time to write up my recipe for this homemade Mushroom Sauce, as it has creeped into a few recipes now! Plus, it’s really tasty and could be added as a side to a few other savoury dishes too. The recipe is based on using a sweetened plant-based milk, so the…

Gingerbread People & Shapes
It’s Christmas time, time to share our… food recipes! I’ve always wanted to make Gingerbread People (well, Gingerbread Shapes really) but haven’t had the energy for it in recent years. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a holiday tradition that I had grown up with, and I always felt like I missed out. Well not anymore! Although, seeing the evidence…
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies
It’s Sunday morning, and I’m sitting at the dining room table with a cup of cocoa in my fluffy, pink, Toy Story dressing gown thinking about cookies. Yeah, that’s right. I’m wearing kids clothes. But in my defense, it was pink, half the price and it fits me perfectly – so why not? I also managed…
Gluten-Free Pizza Dough
Like many of you out there, my favourite meal is pizza. Yep, even this dairy-free, wheat free and mostly meat-free lady still can’t stop dreaming about pizza – the traditional kind that is, all doughy and loaded-with-cheese. (Mmmm… is it dinner time yet?) So for all you fellow-pizza lovers out there, you can imagine the…
Pumpkin & Walnut Loaf
I have put pumpkin in a soup, in a pie, and now I’m putting pumpkin in a cake! You thought I was exaggerating when I said that I could eat pumpkin by the bucketful, didn’t you? Haha! Nope, it’s me and pumpkin all the way baby! If I could marry an edible plant, then Pumpkin…
Mixed Bean Potato Hotpot
I’m bringing on the British food today. Here is my vegan version of the classic Potato Hotpot. Mixed Bean Potato Hotpot! Although born and bred British, I’m not patriotic when it comes to British food (or at all really). I will admit though, in my humble opinion you can’t beat a good cup of tea….
