Oaty Caramel Coconut Blondie with Dark Chocolate Chips

This is not a health food. But it’s a delicious comfort food, easy to make and requires minimal skill and equipment. Serve it with ice cream as a dessert or sneak pieces to much on as is.

Well life us getting a little repetitive in my corner of the world… I didn’t realise how much I realised on social engagements as a measure of time passing. At least these weekly meal plans let me know it’s another Sunday, hopefully they’re a weekly reminder for you too!

Warm Cauliflower, Green Bean and Chickpea Salad

This is the kind of salad I crave in winter – warm, filling and delicious. It’s topped delicious golden croutons and dressed with basil oil. But if you can’t get basil any sort of olive oil base dressing will work perfectly. The point of this salad is for it to be easy to change to suit the contents of your fridge and cupboard.

A public holiday while everyone is working from home is more confusing than my brain can handle, so I totally missed that it was a Sunday yesterday and didn’t have this post ready to share. But I’m here now!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Waffles

With Easter just around the corner I thought it was time to post something as a nod to what is usually, for me, a family filled holiday. One of my favourite Easter traditions is brunch and these waffles are the perfect addition.

Vermicelli Noodle Salad With Ginger and Soy Mushrooms

I’m so into shredded oyster mushrooms as replacement for meat. They soak up any flavour you throw at them and get the best crispy texture. They’re the perfect thing to sub for pork and chicken for this laissez-faire take on a bun bowl.

Cherry Tomato, Butternut Pumpkin and Cauliflower Pasta Bake

This easy to make pasta bake is flavoured with roasted garlic, thyme and sage too but you could easily swap the herbs out for what you have on hand. In these times subbing ingredients is something it’s helpful to get confident with. With that in mind, most of this post is about what else you can sub for the listed ingredients. Please feel free to comment with any questions:) I usually use a mixture of cheeses in this too, just the ends of what’s on hand. You want a mixture of sharp and bitey and melty but if a mixture isn’t possible a sharp cheddar will work too.

I totally wanted to have more new recipes for you this week but with emergency meetings at school and my decision to work extra days there I had no time! But as most other people I know a socially isolating and working from home I though I’d throw in some recipes with minimal ingredients and things that can be frozen. As well as something that’ll require more time if you’re up for the challenge!
