Lunch today is some cold potatoes, baby avocados and salsa. Super simple but so delicious! Did you know that cold potatoes are an awesome prebiotic?
I was so pleased that this batch of baby avo’s have turned out to be perfect (which any one in the uk can attest to is a rarity. Most avocados you buy either stay hard or go brown and gross before you can eat them)
I had two as they are so small (about the size of a plum) and who ever begrudged a girl some healthy fats!?
I love cooking big batches of potatoes and sweet potatoes for days when I’m not in the mood to cook but still want a healthy carby hit

Healthy af spaghetti bolognese for 2.
Sauce
1 medium carrot
1 stork of celery
1 small onion
1 tbs garlic (or more if you are a garlic lover like me)
1 can lentils or about 1 ½ cups soy mince
1 tbs dried Italian herbs
1 tbs tomato purè
1 can tinned tomatoes
2 tsps miso
(Optional)
1 tbs liquid amino (I use maggi liquid seasoning)
½ tbs chilli ( I used West Indian chilli sauce)
¼ cup red wine
Method
Dice onion, celery and carrot + mince garlic
Put onion + garlic in a nonstick saucepan with aprox 2 tbs of water
Sweat of onion and garlic until soft (if things start to stick just add a little more water)
Add in the carrot and celery and cook down until tender (again if things stick just add a little water)
Stick in your mince/ drained lentils and give a mix around
Put in all the other ingredients apart from the tinned tomatoes and mix
Add tinned tomatoes and mix thoroughly then turn heat down and simmer for 30mins-1hr stirring occasionally
I served it with buckwheat penne, steamed kale, ½ an avocado and some nutritional yeast

So it’s bank holiday and I am recovering from a day at a food fair in which I might have had more raspberry cider than is my usual want so an elegant brunch of spaghetti hoops on toast was in order

So I have made a giant vat of porridge to have this week. This is my favourite flavour which is oatmeal raisin cookie. I did enough for about 7 days or for a family of 4 for 3 days
Ingredients
6 cups plant milk ( it doesn’t really matter but I used almond milk
2 cups oats
1- 1 ½ raisins
3 tea spoons cinnamon
¼ ground ginger
1/8 tea spoon all slice
2-4 tea spoons vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons stevia
1-4 tablespoons maple syrup
Method
Stick it all the ingredients apart from the stevia and syrup pot at the same time and bring to the boil the simmer on low until it’s your preferred consistency ( I like it slightly looser but I think that’s more a uk thing. If you rather a thicker consistency just reduce the liquid slightly and cook a little longer.
Stir it every so often and tip into a container
cool.
Ps. I have just finished watching land of hope and glory on YouTube and it was so informative and heart wrenching ✌

So Lidl has vegan options this week .
I went a bit mad…..
There is falafel, plain “chicken”, seasoned “chicken”, tofu, “mince” and a bunch of other stuff. All under £2 so cheaper than the usual suspects for uk peeps!

So there I was faffing about with my apple (as you do) and thought “hey this would be a good thing to do for people looking after bored kiddies this summer”
Apple “doughnuts” aren’t a new thing but never the less they would be such an easy way to pass time and encourage food interaction with the youngins’
Just core and slice a few apples and stick what ever decorations you want them to use and boom a fun interactive (sort of healthy) dessert

Sunday cake. I tried yet another chocolate covered Katie recipe but not gonna lie, this turned out a little disappointing. It may have a small amount to do with the fact I ( being ever observant) used buckwheat flour instead of spelt . I will now have to keep making carrot cakes until I am satisfied with the results haha. Bright side is its gluten free I guess!
Will keep you posted.

Day 2
Once I went to sleep I had a good nights sleep which was good as I have recently been waking up after 3-4 hours
Went to make juice but the infernal contraption is broken.
Have contended myself with hot water and lemon and sucking on orang segments.
Got a message saying my new juicer will arrive between 10-11 am! Thank goodness for that!!!!
Used the new juicer to make a carrot, sweet potato, kale and collard green juice. Tasted fine. This new guy works 100x better than the old bit of tat!
Lunch today was a beetroot, red cabbage, apple, ginger and celery juice. It looked like a galaxy in the juice jug and didn’t taste too bad. I also added a little lemon juice.
“Snacks today have been hot water with lemon and sometimes ginger .
Dinner. A kale, broccoli, celery, spinach, cilantro apple and lemon juice. Like eating lawnmower clippings but hey, it must be good for me!
Dessert. Fresh pineapple juice . It speaks for its self really, the best thing ever.
I have had a headache all day which I guess is also party to do with lack of coffee. Still wanting food but I feel some what more hopeful that it will get better.
I will endeavour to actually take picture of the juices I drink tomorrow as I honestly could not me bothered today haha
New favorite
Instant granola-frozen fruits-almond milk

SCRUMPTIOUS OATMEAL COOKIES (vegan and plenty of fiber) I made these cookies at my dad’s request post-knee replacement and they were a hit! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup @earthbalance vegan butter
1 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups @bobsredmill rolled oats
1 cup flour (can be GF, etc.)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Spoonful cinnamon
1/8c almond milk
2-3 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce (optional, makes cookies softer)
Things got a bit unique for the fillers since we were out of raisins ☺️…I used:
✨1/2c chopped prunes (‘prune cookies’ sounds strange but they worked well since prunes are like giant/juicer raisins)
✨1/4c chopped pitted dates
✨1/2c crushed @foodsalive walnuts
(Can use ¾-1c raisins, walnuts optional)
HOW TO MAKE:
0️⃣Pre-heat oven to 350F.
1️⃣ Mix ‘butter’ (room temp) and brown sugar in bowl w/ electric mixer. Add syrup and vanilla.
2️⃣In a separate bowl mix oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
3️⃣ Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet and mix by hand…this will take some and the dough will be quite crumbly.
4️⃣ Add the almond milk and applesauce (optional). If still too thick to mix, add a splash of milk.
5️⃣ Add fillers (raisins, walnuts, prunes, dates, etc.)
6️⃣ Line tray with parchment paper. Roll dough into small-medium balls and flatten them slightly on the tray. I fit ~16 on one tray.
7️⃣ Bake until tops are golden brown (~15-20 mins) and VOILA you have some scrumptious cookies.
➡️Pro-tip: if they stick around for several days, microwave before eating because warm oatmeal cookies are ENJOY
P.s. Hope you all are staying healthy (and sane) stuck at home
