Hearty Risotto Salad – it’s a thing (well, it is now!) This is a delicious, filling salad filled with arborio rice, cos lettuce, crispy croutons, crunchy pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes and some vegan cheese (optional). I’ll let you in on a little secret – this recipe was a failed attempt at arancini balls! They wouldn’t stick together and I had some mixture leftover, so I made it into a salad. I’m glad I did, because this was some goooooood…
Another family favourite! Mum used to make this Layered Garden Salad when I was a kid. It’s great for a dinner party, special occasion or part of a Christmas feast. It’s a delicious salad so I thought I would Veganize it! It may sound strange, but this salad tastes better the next day. Not many salads taste good the next day, but this one does! Trust me! This Vegan Layered Garden Salad would go well with so many things! Try…
Give these Healthy Fruit Mince Pies a try this Christmas! I just love making my own food – at least then I know what goes into it – no preservatives and no nasties! These Healthy Fruit Mince Pies are just that – all wholesome goodness, and super tasty! I originally came across this recipe via a good friend Karen, from her blog Karen Luvs Life. She’s got some awesome recipes on there, including her Fruit Mince Tarts. I have used…
Looking for a great side to your vegan Christmas feast? These Cumin Spiced Carrots will do the job nicely! I managed to get three different colour carrots at our local fruit and veg store, which makes this dish so pretty. I love to vary up the colour as much as I can! If you can only find one or two colour carrots, the recipe will still work fine! There’s something about roast carrots that is just so nourishing, familiar and…
I’ve wanted to make a lentil nut loaf for a while! Literally, it’s been milling around in my head for weeks! So I was pleased when I finally got around to making this Lentil Cashew Loaf! I really wanted to put walnuts in this loaf – so you can imagine my devastation when I found my walnuts had gone rancid! I knew I should’ve kept them in the fridge – they do seem to last longer that way. Anyway –…

It’s Spring here in Australia, and it’s a great time for salads! So glad the winter is finally coming to an end (some would argue that we don’t even have a winter here in sunny Queensland!) and the days are getting warmer, with flowers blooming and the sweet smell of jasmine in the air. This Atlantis Salad is a wonderful salad to add to your salad recipe collection! Salads are a bit underrated, I find! There used to be a…
Ever wanted to make your own homemade relish!? Well, here’s your chance! Last week I got a bunch of free organic seconds tomatoes, and I thought for a moment – what could I make with all these? Then, I thought – relish! I love relish, and I’ve often thought I must give it a go. So, I messaged my Mum to see if she had a good recipe. Lucky for me, she promptly sent one back and here it is! I have…
