I love meal-prepping, can you tell? Over the last couple of weeks I have been posting some warming soups, but sometimes I want something more substantial. My sister recommended oven roasted broccoli to me, so I had to try that. Since the green asparagus were on sale in Tesco, I chugged them in as well….

RECIPE: Quick vegan pumpkin and swede soup
I hope you enjoyed my roasted tomato soup (which can be found here), which I made for a meal-prep two weeks ago. This week I am back cooking soup to meal-prep lunches for the week with another warming soup. Since it is still quite cold, I thought I would use some nice pumpkin (bottle gourd,…
VEGAN PRODUCT REVIEW: Halo top non-dairy ice cream – the worst vegan ice cream ever?
I have recently moved to the UK for an internship in my university studies, and I am getting used to the new supermarkets here. I mostly shop at Tesco, since it is the closest (and biggest within reasonable walking distance) and I have been greatly enjoying trying new vegan products. One of my new favourite…
Vegan Food in Glasgow pt. 1 – review of ready meals at Waitrose
I know it’s been a while. I was really busy with the last month of my bachelors, doing a research project which consumed most of my time. I also moved back in with my parents, because I am taking a gap year next year and I don’t want to pay my rent while traveling. This…
RECIPE: healthy Mediterranean super grain salad – lunch meal prep
I recently moved houses, so I had to clean out all the cabinets in my kitchen. There I found a lot of super grains which I bought at some point, but didn’t finish. I was therefore left with small quantities of spelt, buckwheat and freekeh. This lunch salad was a convenient way to clean out…
RECIPE: Super grain buddha bowl with rainbow carrots
I am clearing out my pantry and somewhere to the back I found some dry spelt and dry buckwheat. Seeing that it was not a huge amount, I thought I would throw them together into a buddha bowl! This bowl is packed with fibre and veggies, and the sesame and soy sauce add a nice…
5-ingredient MEAL PREP IDEA: bulgur-chickpea salad with lemon, basil and beetroot
I love meal prepping lunches, not only because I think the flavour is better than sandwiches, but also because it makes it easier for me to include a source of plant-based protein in my lunch. For this lunch I used chickpeas, because I love how they combine with almost any flavour. If you wanted to…
RECIPE: sweet potato, avocado and wasabi spring rolls
I love any food that turns a complex array of flavours into a handheld treat. That is why I love making spring rolls; they pack different flavours in a bitesize healthy package. They are super versatile, being fully customizable to your desires. For this recipe I chose to combine the sweetness of sweet potato with…
MEAL PREP: mango curry with marinated tempeh and rice
I love having a warm lunch during the week when I am at university. I don’t like studying all day and having just bread to look forward to. That is why I tend to meal prep my lunches on Sundays or Mondays for the week. Normally I make a big batch of something and just…
RECIPE: super simple parsnip and sage soup
I love having a warm lunch on colder days. That is why I love making easy soups from vegetables and herbs. I already shared a recipe for an easy pumpkin and thyme soup, which you can find here. This recipe also uses a sweet vegetable: parsnips. If you can’t find parsnips where you live, you…
