Of all the meals, I find vegan lunch recipes the hardest to find. I’m often after a quick and easy lunch recipe, but I find that the majority of traditional foods tend to revolve around a meat, cheese and salad sandwich. The other option, of course, is a salad. While […]
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 […]
This vegan pizza toastie recipe came about one lunch time when I was really craving a pizza, but really didn’t have the time to make one from scratch. I had all the toppings ready on hand, but no bases. Then I had the idea of putting the toppings on bread […]

This vegan BLAT – Bacon, Lettuce Avocado, Tomato – sandwich is really quick and easy. The salty-sweet bacon flavoured chickpeas are delicious, and are a great plant based bacon alternative to meet those cravings. They only take about 5 minutes to make. The best part is there’s no marinating, so […]
These delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Balls are completely oil free, and low sugar. I was in the mood for something sweet for afternoon tea, so I came up with this recipe. My favourite type of protein ball is raw cookie dough, but I find a lot of them […]
This vegan, toddler-friendly Apple and Quinoa Protein Slice is great for those days when you just can’t get your little ones to eat anything. I have some days where I just can’t seem to get my two year old to eat anything – they generally happen around teething time. This […]
