Creamy Berry Smoothie with Cauliflower, say what???? Cauliflower in a smoothie? I know it sounds completely crazy, but I promise you, you and your kids will never guess! This smoothie tastes like the creamiest berry smoothie, with the added bonus of more than a serve of veggies! This recipe was […]
Winter is still among us here in Australia, although it isn’t as cold as it could be. None-the-less, cold winter nights call for warm comforting dinners. This creamy Vegan Pumpkin and Zucchini Baked Risotto is my latest winter favourite. I’ve never been much of a risotto fan, because it takes […]
These Sweet Potato Chocolate Muffins are super chocolatey and fudgey. They make a great indulgent (but very healthy) snack, or even dessert. They seriously taste just like chocolate brownies. Your kids will love these, and they’ll never guess that they’re jammed packed with super healthy sweet potato! I think that […]
This easy vegan tofu scramble has become my go to option for a quick weeknight meal, or even as part of an extravagant Sunday morning brunch. I have never been able to eat eggs (just the smell of them makes me sick!) but I have always been able to see […]
These vegan spinach banana muffins don’t contain hidden veggies per say. They more take the approach of being so overtly full of veggies that it becomes a novelty. My kids love these muffins, but I think it’s mainly because it’s crazy to have a food that’s so green, but isn’t […]
This oil free lentil bolognese recipe is a great quick and easy weeknight meal that your kids will love. It only takes 20 minutes to cook, and you can have it ready in the time it takes your pasta to cook. This recipe also makes a great transition meal if […]

I have been looking for ways to get more beans into my kids’ diet, and I finally did it! I managed to make a bean smoothie that my kids loved. When I served it to my kids yesterday, there were unanimous demands for more – not bad for a healthy bean […]
One thing that I miss from cooking with meat is the ease of one pan meals. It was easy to put some meat and veggies on a tray in the oven, bake for 30 minutes, and voila, dinner! The added bonus of only one cooking dish to wash afterwards was […]
The tangy peanut dressing on this salad transforms what is basically a traditional coleslaw into something really different and tasty. You can serve this recipe raw, or lightly cooked. I prefer to cook the cabbage, as I find that raw cabbage can give me some digestive issues, but this salad […]
