I generally find snacking one of the hardest things. I don’t know about you, but I have one of three “food moods” – either I have zero appetite and don’t eat most of the day, I’m ravenous hungry and all I do is eat or I’m normal and have three healthy meals and don’t snack at all. So generally what happens is that on days … Continue reading Top 10 favourite dairy-free snacks
I grew up in South Africa and one of my favourite childhood memories is going to a dessert place called Milky Lane, which sold a whole range of waffles, ice-cream, milkshakes and so many flavours of sauce I can’t even name them all. All I can say is that in comparison, places in the U.K. that sell waffles don’t really compare. I went to one … Continue reading Breakfast: Simple Waffles
When I came off dairy products completely there was a part of me that was devastated. Growing up you become a custom to certain tastes – Cadbury’s, Galaxy and I had just recently started eating pastries and cheesecake and now all of these new and exciting experiences seemed lost to me. If you’re born unable to eat dairy, you don’t really know what you’re missing … Continue reading My top 10 favourite dairy-free chocolate treats
Spaghetti Bolognese was the first thing I learnt to make on my own. This might be the same for a lot of people as it is one of the simplest things to make. It’s a classic dish, super easy to make and super quick if you don’t have much time. Recipe 500g Beef mince (5% fat) 1 Onion 1tsp Chopped garlic 400g Tinned tomatoes Italian … Continue reading Dinner: Spaghetti Bolognese
So over the last couple days I’ve been looking into healthy muffin recipes. Generally, I always want to create something low in calories and fat so this one worked out really well. I definitely recommend them if you don’t have much time on a morning and need something to grab and go. If you do have time for a sit down, I think they’d go … Continue reading Breakfast: Banana Oat Muffins
So for years I have absolutely loved pancakes, and usually I use to just buy premade ones from the shop because it was easier – but then I became intolerance to dairy products. Honestly you’d be surprised how many products on the shelves contain dairy! And I’m not just talking about lactose. When people hear you have an intolerance to dairy products they assume lactose, … Continue reading Breakfast: Vegan Pancakes
Butternut is my FAVOURITE vegetable – I don’t know if other people have favourite vegetables but I do and that might make me a little weird. I actually really love my veggies! The only vegetable I’m not a fan of are peas… But butternut soup is such an easy thing to make, tastes amazing, and is fantastic on a cold day which in the UK … Continue reading Lunch & Dinner: Butternut Soup
Not only is breakfast the most important meal of the day, but it is also my favourite meal of the day. Generally, I stick to low calorie cereals during the week, sometimes toast but on Monday’s I always treat myself to a sweet treat breakfast. I do this for a couple of reasons, they might make sense to you, they might not – that’s okay … Continue reading Breakfast: Low Fat Vegan Waffles
I don’t know about you, but I’m always struggling to find healthy food to have for lunch or dinner. Lunch for me is an awkward time of day, because I naturally want to go to a sandwich or have a second breakfast because I really love breakfast – so I can never think what to have which can lead to some really bad habits! I … Continue reading Lunch & Dinner: Sweet Potato and Spinach Quinoa
