Every time I go to a Farmers Market I wonder why I don’t go every week. Yesterday was the perfect day for it. The sun was shining, the air was fresh, I had a heap of small change and no other plans until Noon. I gathered up my shopping bags and bribed my friend […] Read more…
My Mum’s name is Lorraine. When I was younger I couldn’t understand why people were always naming their egg pies after her. Now that I’m wise and mature (*ahem*), I understand so much more. Like how cool it is that tofu can masquerade as egg! Smart tofu! When my newly vegan friend told me […] Read more…
Do you watch the British TV show Made in Chelsea? It is ridiculously hysterical. My friend Kyllie and I watch it in our own homes and Whatsapp message each other a running commentary throughout the entire show, complete with many, many giggle fits. Tears, snorts, the works. Ollie is our favourite character. If you can watch […] Read more…
If winter threw a party and invited all the comfort foods, Shepherd’s Pie would be on the VIP list and Quinoa would be left shivering in the queue outside all night. But what if Shepherd’s Pie wrapped Quinoa up in his big, fluffy, mashy coat and brought her along as his date? Dressed in […] Read more…
Oh how I love Winter Friday Night Pizza Experiments! When I read this post by Lindsay Is Vegan and saw what she was doing with Chana Masala appetisers, I got pretty excited! Serving Indian curry on bread! YES! Genius! I’ve always loved this Chana Masala recipe by The Copycat Cook, and thought it’d make the perfect […] Read more…
How great are Mums?! I’m crazy about mine. On the weekend she invited me down to her place so we could catch up and watch the latest episodes of Tough Love Miami. Have you seen this show? When my Mum, sister and I watched the first season we dubbed it ‘Skanky Town’ because it was […] Read more…
Think strawberries and cream are reserved for Wimbledon, darling? Not anymore! How’s this for delicious decadence so easy and healthy you can enjoy it every day? Forget oats. Quinoa is the crème de la crème of the grain/seed families. High in complete protein, it contains all nine essential amino acids and is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine, […] Read more…
bbbbbrrrrr, it’s freezing in Perth this week! I’m not at my sparkly best in the cold. Sunshine makes me sparkly. Running around in the cold makes me crave fast, comforting meals so I can get back to snuggling on the couch with re-runs of Gossip Girl a good book, a block of chocolate and […] Read more…
HELLO Green July! *cue glitter and streamers* To celebrate the start of a very healthy, sparkly month, I decided to start and finish the day with green liquid! Genius, no? I just hope I don’t turn green. 😉 Last weekend some friends hosted a pizza party and made an incredibly simple and delicious vegan pizza […] Read more…
It’s Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere today. Oh yes, it is! I love Winter Solstice, especially the part about the shortest day of the year occurring only a few short weeks into our dark, stormy weather. It gives me hope that I will survive the rest of winter and not morph permanently into some […] Read more…
Did you think vegan creamy soups couldn’t get any better than Pistachio Cream of Broccoli Soup? Me too! Oh, we were both so very, very wrong. I finally perfected the quantities for this soup (making much mess along the way) and it was so worth it! It is incredible! Seriously. And my Year […] Read more…
Ohhh cashew cream, where have you been all my life?? After successfully using it to top off my Apple Crumble brunch and reading many reviews about its magical properties, I decided to push the envelope. On the weekend I bravely ventured where no sparkly vegan has been before and created my very first Cashew Cream […] Read more…
Ok, it’s official. I have a brunch addiction. How good is weekend brunch, though? So mellow, sitting in the sunshine, with nowhere to be and not a rush in sight. It’s the only time it’s perfectly acceptable to eat sweet treats as a main meal, plus it’s usually two meals rolled into one which means […] Read more…
I never have been the athletic type. Oh I did dance classes and stuff as a kid, but I classify that more as art than sport. When all the other ten-year old girls were out playing netball or hockey, I was curled up somewhere with a book. Or a series of books, to be exact. […] Read more…
