PLAT-BASED RECIPES AND SUSTAINABLE LIVING
“If you get shot by an arrow, do you shoot yourself with another?” This is one of my favourite Buddhist parables, as I simply think it resonates with most people. How many times have you found yourself in a not-so-ideal situation, and rather than dealing with it, you simply made yourself feel worse? I can... Continue Reading →
We are a privileged generation, we have everything in abundance, from clothing and beauty to food in all its various forms, but because of the array of products we are slowly beginning to suffocate under the pile of waste that accompanies them. I doubt that 2.5 billion years ago in the stone age cavemen popped... Continue Reading →
Being in the minority during celebrations and gatherings can be, and often is, difficult; at times, you may think it is impossible that your family will accept your choice and not question you at every opportunity that arises. However, there are things each person can do to feel more included without being overly pushy. This... Continue Reading →
If like me, you have eaten your body weight in hot cross buns this Easter, and can’t bear to look at the devils, then I have the thing just for you (and for your family if you are willing to share). These buns are a combination of a simple 5 ingredient sweet yeasted dough and... Continue Reading →
Vegetables in sweet treats can be controversial, but you can’t disagree that carrot cake is close to being heavenly. I have incorporated veggies into some other treats before like my Peanut Butter Chickpea Blondies, but there's nothing like going back to a cosy classic.

On a sunshine-filled day, all that you need to complete the perfect equation is a good brunch; I am not one to chose the savory over the sweet option (a true 5-year-old at heart) but if it came down to this tofu scramble and pancakes I'd be in a real predicament. It takes under 10... Continue Reading →

However, don’t let your previous experiences with avocado (I'm thinking the basic avocado toast) put you off incorporating it into other dishes because I can assure you it can work some wonders. It... Continue Reading →
This is a broad subject, but not as broad as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s shoulders, and so I deem it manageable. Friendships are the essence of life, said someone some time ago. Friendships are difficult as f*ck, said I, every day of my life. Without the whole plant-based label they are difficult enough but I... Continue Reading →
This is a hot topic on my blog, simply because I am a real advocate for self-love and understanding one's self-worth, however, I’ve been struck by the recent uprise in the negative self-talk which is what has led to the crafting of this post. Last week I was talking to some friends (shout out to... Continue Reading →
Being vegan is the best thing I’ve done. True. Being vegan makes me feel great. Also true. Being vegan is always easy and super accessible. Not always as true as I'd like. When at home, and in a comfortable radius of it (my known and safe territory) eating plant-based could not be anymore enjoyable and... Continue Reading →
