Coconut Turmeric Porridge
When I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, I delved deep into research. Why, when it felt like I was doing all the right things, was my body behaving contradictory? I’d been eating a clean, whole food plant based diet for the better part of 7 years – why now was everything out of balance? Autoimmune conditions are tricky, to put things lightly. Just when I thought I’d gotten a grasp on managing and living with Type 1 Diabetes, this whole new chapter in my life opened it’s pages for me. After much contemplation, and not feeling particularly in the mood for blogging, or sharing for that matter, I’m slowly feeling more…

Wellness Nourish Bowl
For us here at the base of the globe, daylight savings was set in motion recently. We set our clocks forward an hour, in order to save as much light as possible. I love this time of year because it means longer days, and evenings outdoors. Whether it be barbecuing (aka Braaing as us ‘Saffa’s’ call it), walks in nature/on the beach or even a stroll around the neighborhood – it’s so great to make the most of this time of year. So, in order to make the most of all these outdoor activities, I don’t preferably want to be cooking for hours in the kitchen. I introduce you to…

Apple and Raspberry Vegan Galette
It’s that time again for another recipe to share, and what better way to celebrate the beginning of Spring than with a vibrant Apple and Raspberry Vegan Galette. This recipe is so delicious and is the perfect option when entertaining or taking around to a friends place for morning tea. I decided to use spelt flour as it actually has so any health benefits, even if it does contain gluten. Now I do tend to stay away from gluten, but every now and then I’ll have it in the form of a home made recipe, or something that I know exactly what’s gone into it. Organic spelt flour used in this…

Creamy Mushrooms with Zucchini Noodles
Food photography for me is so much more than taking a few shots of a carefully prepared meal. It’s a creative outlet that makes my soul happy and I have so much fun creating each scene and stringing along the story of each post. For this Creamy Mushrooms with Zucchini Noodles recipe, I decided to step it up a bit and add a few different elements to captivate how beautiful plant based food can be. I decided to build the story up, from the cloves of garlic to the edible flowers. From the creamy vegan mushrooms to the pops of parsley, carefully selected from my garden. This dish came together so…

Roasted Beetroot Broccoli and Green Bean Salad
The myth I love busting the most about healthy eating, is that salads are boring, tasteless ad un-fulfilling. But this, my friends, could not be further from the truth. Salads allow you to bring as much creativity to the plate as you like. Layering and combining different flavours, colours and textures is one way to expand your salad experience – and create something different and delicious. So that’s exactly what I did with this roasted Beetroot, Broccoli and Green Bean Salad. Firstly, the star of the salad – the crimson coloured cubes of earthy sweet beetroot, take this whole dish to another level. Not only in taste – but health…

Cashew Vegan Cream Cheese
Nick generously gifted me a Mad Millie Vegan Cheese Kit for Christmas, which I finally got around to trying out. I’ve dabbled in a few vegan cheese recipes in the past, but mainly being cheese sauces and my macadamia cheese. I was super keen to test out a ‘proper’ vegan cheese recipe and so this Cashew Vegan Cream Cheese was the result. Before changing my diet and lifestyle, I did eat regular dairy cheese – however I never sincerely missed it when I decided to cut it from my diet. I experimented with a few ‘nut’ cheeses but very rarely would make them – unless it was a cashew cheese…

Vegan Caramel Squares with Activated Buckinis
Living simplistically can be so rewarding. More and more of us are making the conscious effort to reduce waste, buy less, save more and ultimately live more simply. There’s so many little things we can do, that can really add up in a big way. Change in the minority, I believe, can have a massive ripple effect and if we all work hard together to spread the word, the benefits for our future generations and our planet will surely come into fruition. I was inspired this week, by simple living, and hence decided to make a simple recipe, with simple ingredients, that tasted simply wonderful. I succeeded, and this Vegan Caramel…
