This was part of my Plantlab Coursework, but I added the Caramel Apples and tweaked the pancake mixture a little. I am not sure if it was the orange juice, but these were voted by the kids as the best pancakes I have made so far. I was also happy with the caramel apples as…
I finally got around to my favourite citrus flavour of all – lemon!! I have been dying to try a lemon cashew cream slice. I was waiting for the lemons on my Pa Jack tree which never stops giving to be ready, but I got impatient and got some from the shops instead. This…
I absolutely loved this slice – the kids and I have become a bit obsessed with cashew cream cakes and slices and it is so lovely to have finally found a recipe combination that creates a vegan ‘cheese-cake’ type of cake or slice that does not need to be frozen. Due to my Overcoming…
It is hard to believe that the kids and I have now been living in the country for just over six years. I still wonder as to how we were seemingly plucked from the city and ended up in this beautiful part of the world in the mountains. I also quite regularly think of…
I am soldiering on with my fifth module of Plantlab Culinary which is the ‘Essentials of Superfood’. Another project I had to do this week was create an Acai Bowl. I was due to make a nut crumb and did a double batch so I have enough in the fridge for the coming week. Most of…
I have started my next and fifth module of Plantlab Culinary and this one is all about the Essentials of superfood. One of the first projects we had to do was create a Chia Parfait. I have always struggled with chia seeds, as I am not a fan of all the trendy superfoods. It…
The three of us have all become a little obsessed with cashew cream. I also discovered this week that Rissie just loves the bliss ball mixture that I occasionally use as a base. She was sitting in front of the fire this week when she put her head in her hands and sighed sadly…

I absolutely loved this slice – I have become a bit obsessed with cashew cream cakes and slices and I am trying to perfect one that does not need to be frozen. Due to my Overcoming MS protocol that I follow, Cacao Butter and Coconut Oil is not an option for me which is…

Cheesecake is something I have always had a bit of a soft spot for and it is something I have been dying to perfect. I suspect I am almost there! Though I am not going to start singing until I try it again. The original recipe was meant to be part of my Plantlab Culinary…
I realised late last week that I had not made experimented with something completely new and sweet for some time. Also, Rissie was waxing lyrical about a strawberry and cashew cream slice I made months ago so I thought I would try to do something completely different. This is a frozen dessert, but it…
