Gluten Free + Vegan Chocolate Cake (Nut Free)

This was a big, new, scary challenge for me. Past attempts at making anything gluten free have not gone well for me - I'm talking dry, falling apart cakes that just did not taste great. Last week I was invited to attend a birthday party for my sister-in-law and her fiancé and I offered to make a cake for them. This was a big take-on for me, as I needed to make it vegan and gluten free to be able to suit everyone's dietary needs at the party. Well, I'm glad to say it turned out pretty well and everyone said it was super tasty!! This recipe for a gluten free and vegan chocolate cake doesn't require any fancy ingredients that you can't find at most good supermarkets, always a bonus!

Tofu + Vegetable Stir Fry (Vegan + Gluten Free)

I've been making an effort to eat healthier and part of that meant starting to meal prep. Probably 95% of the time, I have leftovers from the night before for lunch the next day, but sometimes when we can't be bothered to cook a proper meal in the evening it leaves me without a lunch the next day. I decided that to avoid this, I would meal prep for the week on a Sunday, so that I had five lunches sat waiting for me in the fridge.

No Bake Cacao + Goji Berry Energy Bars (Vegan, Gluten Free + Nut Free)

I've been trying to go through my diet and take out anything that isn't healthy, or at least a healthier option. That meant that rather than snacking on my beloved Fry's Chocolate Creme bars, I turned to cereal bars. I looked out for ones which are vegan, nut free and gluten free (we'll come to that) and there are a surprisingly large amount of options out there! BUT they are not cheap. You're ending up paying at least £2 (unless you get them on offer) for three bars, which is a little too expensive for my liking. I decided I should have a go at making them myself, which also meant I could really see all the ingredients in them too. So here we are, my recipe for no bake cacao and goji berry energy bars, that are vegan, gluten free and nut free!

Vegan Blueberry Donuts

I seem to always have a stock of frozen fruit in. I'm always making smoothies or brownies with them, and I went through a phase (who remembers?) of making donuts on the regular, so I figured why not have a go at combining the two?! That is how I landed on these vegan blueberry donuts - soft fluffy dough with a fruit surprise, what's not to love?!
