If you are a fan of peanut butter you need to try this,it’s full of that delicious creamy peanut butter taste. Peanuts are high in protein, as is tofu so this meal will keep you fuller for longer. Feel free to use whichever veges you like and what’s in season. The broccoli works well as...

When I first started taking more notice of what I’m actually eating and in particular ingredients and nutritional information of pre-packaged foods, pasta sauce was one of the worst. If you have some in your pantry go and look at the ingredients, why is there so much sugar and what are half of these things?...

This vegetable quinoa risotto is a really nutritious, delicious and relatively easy dinner to make. There are so many vitamins in the veges including vitamin C, E, and K, as well as iron, folate and magnesium. Plus of course lots of protein in the quinoa. This meal is also gluten free! It makes a lot,...

I love a good hearty salad and this broccoli tempeh salad is just that. A basic green salad won’t do and to be honest as a vegan or vegetarian it’s extremely frustrating when you show up at a pot luck BBQ or go to a restaurant and a green salad is the only option. As...

What exactly is a “wellness bowl”, well I guess it’s just exactly that. A bowl of tasty, nutritious food which makes you feel well. They usually consist of some sort of grain for the base – quinoa, rice, freekah – something like that, then a few cooked veges and some fresh garnishes. They are intended...

The temperature is starting to get cooler and some nights it’s really feeling like winter. And what better meal is there for a cold evening than soup? If you are a fan of capsicum or tomato you will love this one. Capsicum, tomato and garlic are all roasted together for a long time to bring...

I’m a big fan of a good Thai Green Curry. However when you buy one from a takeaway store it’s not very easy to know exactly what’s in it. A lot of the time they include too much sugar and also fish sauce which of course is not vegan or even vegetarian.  Yes you could...

Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheese is the ultimate comforting and warming meal. I’ve always loved it even when I used a sauce made from real cheese. So I thought I would have a go at a vegan version. You could also swap the cauliflower and broccoli for macaroni pasta too. I have done this before and...

These vegan jackfruit quesadillas are super tasty and easy and fun to make. A quesadilla is a Mexican dish. It is typically a filling which can be pretty much anything you like from beans, beef mince, pork etc. The filling is sandwiched between 2 corn or flour tortillas and then fried. It also has cheese...

Fritters can be made with just about any vegetable, they’re usually quick to make and make for a nice sharing meal, lunch or a light dinner. They’re particularly good in the warmer months. When creating these beetroot and carrot fritters I was wanting to make something healthy and nutritious and not doughy and stodgy or...

As the name suggests, this slow cooker vegan stew is cooked in a slow cooker. Slow cooker meals are great because they require minimal effort, you pretty just chuck everything in and press starts and they make your house smell like delicious food for hours! I actually found that since going vegan, and even vegetarian...

Fritters make a really good light meal, ideal for warmer months or when you just want something easy for dinner and my vegan Cajun kumara fritters are just that. Easy and relatively quick to make, while also filling and of course delicious. I actually first made these when my oven broke and I was hosting...

My husband and I often find ourselves enjoying this vegan bean chili for a midweek dinner. Usually when a) we either haven’t bothered to plan anything for dinner, or b) haven’t made it to the grocery store yet. This recipe is perfect for those nights as most of the ingredients are really common pantry items....

Carbohydrates per serve: 4.4g. My Quick Tofu and Tomato Curry is incredibly easy and fast to make, in fact it’ll be ready to eat in just 20 mins. It’s not quite traditional but I promise, I’ve been making this for years, and it’s still just as tasty! Curries usually take a long time to make,...

Carbohydrates per serve: 8g (based on serving with konjac fettuccine). A vegan carbonara recipe may sound a little strange considering carbonara is traditionally very far from vegan, in fact it’s just about as far away from vegan as you can get. So I will start by saying this isn’t quite a carbonara as you know...
