• Pasta Sauce

  

  Who doesn’t love spaghetti covered in tomato-y goodness? I know I do. In fact this was the meal my daughter specifically asked me to make this week so it must be good. I have been known to buy sauces but they are never quite right and I always need to buy several jars to feed…

• Hines Baked Beans

  

  Yes, I did that play on words. I previously had this recipe on here but have updated it to a whole foods friendly option, tested it out again, and gotten the pictures I wanted to share so here we go again! I originally modified another recipe 9 years ago but as life evolves so has…

• Sourdough Casserole (vegan)

  

  I really enjoyed the Chicken Sourdough Casserole that I wrote about while still eating meat. The sourdough topping was very much not WFPB however so I had a go at fixing this. It was a success. Sourdough Casserole 800g sourdough starter 1 300g packet of silken tofu  2 Tablespoons Nutritional yeast 2 teaspoons baking powder…

• What I Eat in a Day

  

  I am working on a few recipes but I will admit that I am a bit stuck at the moment. I have been watching these what I eat in a day videos so I thought I could do a blog version of it. You will notice I tend to be rather heavy in the fruit.…

• Applesauce

  

  Do you have any idea how easy it is to make applesauce? It is so simple that the first time I made it was in Kindergarten when I was 5 years old. Of course we made it as a class project and didn’t worry about nutrition back then. I distinctly remember sugar being a big…

• Homemade BBQ Sauce

  

  Sure you could buy your sauce from the store. You wouldn’t know everything that is in it and you would be bringing home more plastic waste but you could do that. That shop bought sauce also couldn’t be adjusted to your own taste. I will give you the basic recipe I use here but you…

• Crispy Spicy Tofu with Ramen Style Soup

  

  Please excuse the lack of pretty pictures as I was not planning to do this recipe for a post but it was so good that I have to share. The picture below does not do this dish justice at all. I had no attempted anything like this before so searched for inspiration this morning. In…

• It’s sour and it’s dough but is it sourdough?

  

  I have been attempting a sourdough starter along with the rest of the world apparently. I managed to find some plain, white flour and on a whim I went for it. I had tried this once before but it got really watery and I didn’t know what to do….this time has been different. I added…

• Spanish Omelette

  

  I don’t know if my take on the Spanish omelette will make a Spaniard’s eye twitch but it tastes good and is very filling. I start by thinly slicing potatoes (about 9 for my T-fal pot roast pan) and two medium to large onions. Next we season the potatoes and onions. I like salt, pepper…

• Cassava Flour Banana Bread

  I played around with almond flour and coconut flour a bit without joy.  A few weeks ago we started getting a fruit/veg delivery that included blemished fruit for juicing or smoothies.  In that flat of fruit I got about a dozen bananas that clearly had a short shelf life so had to do a big…
