Sometimes it's hard to keep thinking of new things to eat, everything gets into a routine and you start eating the same things over and over, sound familiar to anyone? That is me all over! 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
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
Happy New Year little readers!

Instead I am … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Chocolate bites
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

I absolutely love a muffin for breakfast but there's no way in hell I could eat them all the time, it's also very hard to buy a gluten free muffin that's also dairy free so I did some research and adapted a Jamie Oliver recipe for butternut squash muffins. What you need: 3 eggs 1/2 cup … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: Butternut squash muffins
I think I've loved lemon meringue pie from the moment I was born, it's one of those flavours that makes me so happy, even when I'm just thinking about it. Now this is by no means a healthy recipe, but it is a gluten free and dairy free alternative to an old favourite. What you … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Lemon Meringue Pies
Everyone loves flapjacks right? Yes, I thought so, the only thing is that they are usually jam packed with sugar, syrup and butter - rubbish for anyone trying to eat well. I've been trying to come up with a recipe that has no dairy, no syrup or sugar but that's harder than I expected, I … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Rhubarb flapjacks
Last weeks failure of sugar and dairy free flapjacks (that have been eaten as crumbly granola all week) inspired me try some sugar, dairy, wheat and egg free cookies.
