confession...

Forgive me Father for I have sinned, it's been...! I have a confession to make. I have decided after giving veganism a bit of a crack that I am going to instead become a... vegetarian. I feel a bit guilty and a bit of a failure about the decision but here are my reasons:

toasted sanga...

Sanga, sandwich, sarnie, toastie, jaffle, what ever you call it it means the same thing: something delicious between two pieces of bread! Right now it is lunch time. It is quite chilly outside so I have decided to have a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich, an old fave.

bircher muesli...

I'm a sucker for a good Bircher. But since going vegan I've had to come up with a way to make it without the lashings of yoghurt, cream and milk. Bircher is super filling and great for

Carn the PIES!!!!

That title is just for shits and giggles, I don't actually barrack for Collingwood although I do have an affection for them purely because my 94 year old Poppy is an avid colly wobbles supporter! Anyway aside from AFL I wanted to share with you the wonder of pies. Hands up if you love pies...Hands up if you think a meatless pie cannot be attained...Hands down now kids, here it is, a completely meatless pie that looks EXACTLY like a dinky-di all Australian meat pie!

YUM YUM YUM!!!! This is just one stellar example that vegan cooking isn't boring!! Gosh this pie was a delish to eat and a cinch to make. Come on give your taste buds a treat and a dessert that your body wont hate you for. Hahaha...

Yummy snacks...

Being vegan doesn't just mean all tofu and gloom. You can have your vegan cake and eat it too. Here are some lovely little morsels that I have been chomping down on lately.

even more soup...

OK so you probably get the hint now that I really do love soup! But I must let you know also

Porridge with a twist...

My favourite part of the cooler months is warm brekkies. And that means PORRIDGE! I cook mine

Today I made some more soup. I just LOVE soup. Some lovely sweet potato soup was had and

My brother and sister in law invited Alexa and I on a health-food road trip the other day. They had heard of an organic health food super store here on the Coast and

quirky quinoa...

I recently acquired a packet of quinoa. I had seen its mug around the traps but had never been brave enough to face it alone. However, one dreary night

soup for the soul...

I ABSOLUTELY love soup! So I made a big batch of Minestrone to have for lunches.

There are loads of Minestrone recipes I know but I want to share the one that I always use
