Nutty Granola

Granola (or Muesli as it’s known in Oz!) is a favourite in our house. We have tried so many different store bought ones but after making this Nutty Granola for the first time a few years ago, we haven’t looked back. It’s full of flavour and knowing it has clean and natural ingredients makes allContinue reading “Nutty Granola”

Spicy Almond Butter Sauce

Ok so this Spicy Almond Butter Sauce has now become my ‘on everything’ sauce! I have it on roasted veggies, brown rice and my husband even has it drizzled over his steak! It has an almond butter base and lots of spices that give it a real kick. The ancient science of Ayurveda suggests weContinue reading “Spicy Almond Butter Sauce”

Lentil Bolognese

One of my favourite meals of all time is definitely Spaghetti Bolognese. Loved it as a kid and still love it now. It’s an easy go-to that most people have the knack of making and a ‘usual’ in the meal plan in many homes, I’m sure. But if you’re looking for a meatless option thenContinue reading “Lentil Bolognese”

Vegan custard

Sometimes the veganized version of a well known food just isn’t good. But other times you strike gold, like with this vegan custard! It was adapted from a recipe found on good old Pinterest and it worked a treat…which is what it is! Try it with fresh fruit such as blueberries and bananas, or overContinue reading “Vegan custard”

Warm spiced rice pudding

We grew up eating rice pudding almost every Thursday night when our cousins would come over for dinner. It was warm, gooey, vanilla deliciousness. Mum used to make it with white rice, milk and lots of sugar. While I still drool at the thought of it, I don’t usually have dairy, refined rice or sugarContinue reading “Warm spiced rice pudding”

Vegan choc-chip hot cross buns

We all know the recorder song, but are hot cross buns actually a part of your Easter tradition? And if they are, are they healthyish? I always loved Easter as a kid. Now I realize it was mostly for the chocolate bunny that would make an appearance at the end of my bed Easter morning. ButContinue reading “Vegan choc-chip hot cross buns”

Lemon bars

These lemony bars are sweet and tart and so very delicious! With just the right amount of tang they make a lovely decadent treat, while still being healthy and good for you! I recently started making my own almond milk and had been drying out and storing the pulp in the freezer with the intentionContinue reading “Lemon bars”

Choc-maca energy bars

Maca is a great supplement for extra energy and vigor and these choc maca energy bars throw in a hit of raw cacao too! Not to mention the goodness of omega threes found in the seeds. Overall these bars pack a nutritional and energy punch and are tasty too! At first taste they reminded me a little ofContinue reading “Choc-maca energy bars”

Vegan basil pesto

This summer we planted a few veggies and herbs, including basil. And for the first time since owning various basil plants over the years, this one has been thriving! I’m super happy and have been experimenting with pestos and pesto style dips. This thick pesto recipe is a cross between the two. It can beContinue reading “Vegan basil pesto”

Strawberry chia seed jam

Jam or jelly, whatever you call it, it’s delicious, but oh so high in no-good-for-you refined sugars. Try this quick and easy chia seed jam instead. It has the added bonus of fiber and omegas from the chia seeds, which act as the setting agent for the jam. You can experiment with substituting other berriesContinue reading “Strawberry chia seed jam”
