A few weeks back, the lovely lambs over at The Primal Pantry sent me some bars to try. Now I usually snack on fruit or crisps (because crisps are life and I just can't seem to quit them) but I like to keep a stash of snack bars in my cupboard for a treat, because … Continue reading REVIEW: The Primal Pantry bars = HEAVEN!
Last year I made some energy bites and I've been eating them on and off since, but they had puffed rice in them so they didn't stay crispy for long and I'd end up eating them way too fast! So I though I'd rethink it and throw together something smoother (this worked better than my … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Date energy balls
Is anyone else always in awe of how good energy balls look? They always looks so satisfyingly rolled and they look like little bites of heaven. They take very minimal prep, no cooking and you don't even need to wait for them to set in the fridge to taste them! Perfect. In fact, knowing that … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Chocolate energy bites
It's not very often that I get excited out in Dennistoun. Don't get me wrong, we have some great places to eat but if you're vegan and wheat free then it's not so easy. UNTIL NOW! I'd been hearing about Kind Crusts in the Vegan group that I'm in on Facebook for a few weeks, … Continue reading REVIEW: Kind Crusts, Dennistoun’s newbie

Currently I'm eating hot sauce and avocado on rice cakes or toast most week days, now I love it but … Continue reading SNACKS: Quick and easy food
I MISS CHOCOLATE! Like a big old bar of chocolate, breaking it off, dipping it in a fresh cup of tea so it goes all gooey... mmm. Wait, no. It's only natural that from time to time I feel like slipping from my new vegan ways and burying my face in some chocolate. I was … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Brownie squares
Peanut butter makes me so happy, so much so that I'm frequently spotted at my desk scoffing a spoonful as an afternoon snack (that's not a snack Amy, PUT THE SPOON DOWN). I used to make these amazing peanut butter cups but they were FULL of chocolate, they tasted heavenly but you could feel your … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Peanut butter squares
I was having a look through my blog for some vegan inspiration, this week I'm going to attempt to eat vegan, it's something that I've been thinking about for a while but I love cheese, all of the cheese, so so much. In the run up to Vegfest Scotland this weekend I thought it would be the … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Pumpkin cookies, the gluten free, dairy free, vegan way
