How I Make My Oats

This is a highly requested post and a comment I get ALL of the time on Instagram. Truth is, I make my oats differently absolutely every time I make them because I don't measure my ingredients. I don't have food scales or cups or anything, and I think they're unnecessary because you just get used …

This means it's a source of omega 3; a source of calcium; gluten, soy, lactose, dairy free; and overall a healthy and nutritious milk alternative.

Split Pea Soup

I recently made this split pea soup as I had split peas that had been staring at me in my cupboard for a long time. I had no idea how to use them, so started typing 'split pea' into the search bar of google and all the results were split pea soup variations! So I …

Big Vegan Student Food Shop!

When I returned back to university after the Christmas holidays, I got a large food shop from my parents which I was very grateful for. This isn't a typical week's shop for me at all, but I thought I would share to just give you an idea of the things I buy! I shop in …
