It’s Christmas this week! And this means that every meal I eat will be Christmas themed!!! Totally joking! But I will be eating this nice cream frequently both with and without that topping because it’s DELICIOUS. And super easy.
GINGERBREAD BLISS BALLS
These taste just like gingerbread but they’re waaaay better for you. Why gingerbread because: It’s Christmas this month! This month! That’s so soon. I LOVE Christmas, I love the time spent with family friends, how everyone is in a good mood, Mariah Carey’s Christmas album playing on repeat (haha, no shame)… and the food.
MUSHROOM AND SPRING ONION DUMPLINGS
In case you’ve just arrived here by chance I’ll fill you in on something important about me: I love dumplings. Dumplings are life and I love them in all their many forms. I’ve tried many vegetarian dumplings and these are definitely my favourite ones. Tis rich mushrooms with the fresh chives is just such a good combination!
VEGAN CHOC-PEANUT BROWNIE
These brownies are fudgy and delicious, higher in protein than a regular brownie and vegan to boot. They’re still a treat food though. A very, delicious, chocolatey, fudgy treat food. And they have a secret ingredient.
CRISPY SATAY TOFU WITH COCONUT RICE AND CUCUMBER, AVOCADO SALAD
I’m going to start this post by saying I’m not really into tofu. I think it can be really bland sometimes and I’m not always into the spongy texture. This tofu is none of those things. This tofu I love. It’s crispy on the outside, smothered in satay sauce and nice and soft in the centre. This is the tofu that has converted me.
6 HEALTHY SANDWICHES, ROLLS AND WRAPS THAT WILL UP YOUR LUNCH GAME
A really good sandwich or roll is so satisfying. Yummy flavour combinations between two pieces of bread and you end up so far from the soggy nightmares of your school days. I’ve been known to happily eat a sandwich for dinner (ummm has anybody not done this?). In reality they’re just another version of a burger and that’s dinner food so why not all other sandwiches? Come on, give me one reason?! They’ve got all the parts of a nourishing meal, complex carbohydrate, vegetables, protein. You can even have a side salad if it’ll make you feel like it’s more of a meal.
BOWL FOOD: 12 HEALTHY BOWL FOOD IDEAS TO GET YOU THROUGH PARTY SEASON
Most days either my lunch or dinner is some sort of bowl food. Because things eaten from a bowl with just one utensil are somehow simpler and better… well maybe not better (I feel this is unfair to all the other delicious non-bowl food out there) but really good!
STRAWBERRY AND CREAM TARTS
These tarts are creamy, sweet and delicious. They also happen to be dairy free and vegan and the home made pastry is so easy to throw together. They’re also really festive looking!
CHOCOLATE COVERED ALMOND AND CARAMEL CHEWS
Okay, before you get started I’m not pretending these are a health food. I do think they’re a much better option that munching on refined sugar filled lollies though and they’re my after dinner (or lunch!) treat and I LOVE THEM. And it’s my birthday so I can eat them all! Right?!
9 SALADS YOU CAN MAKE FRIENDS WITH
Despite me posting a curry recipe yesterday and complaining about the lack of Spring weather… it’s getting sunny this weekend and that means it’s time to get pumped about salads.
