Lie your mint leaves onto a nonstick baking sheet. Beat an egg white in a small bowl until it turns frothy and then use a pastry brush to apply a thin layer on both sides of the leaf.
Ready for breakfast!

Vegan Custard Tarts When I started cutting out dairy, one of the many things I stopped eating was custard, and it’s one of the many things I really missed! I had no idea how easy it was so make my own, homemade dairy-free version. It’s ridiculously easy! AND it tastes just like ‘normal’ custard. How I wish I tried this recipe months and months ago! I missed out on so much custard goodness! I just realised this paragraph is full of exclamation marks!! Moving on… These vegan custard tarts taste like the ‘real thing’ and the custard part definitely tastes like the custard I remember and love. Sweet, thick and…vanillary? OK I think I just made that word up but […]
Cookie: 2 cups wheat flour ¼ cup oats, ground fine 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/2 cup vegetable margarine 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp baking powder 2 tbsp Molasses Filling: 1.5 lb fresh apples, peeled and chopped 1/2 cup sugar 2 tsp cinnamon Juice of a lemon To make Cookie: in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats and salt. In a large bowl, using a mixer beat the "butter" and molasses until well-combined. Add flour mixture, and beat until combined into a sticky dough. Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, wrap it up, and press down to flatten a bit. Chill in refrigerator. In a saucier or medium sauce pan, combine apples, cinnamon, half of the sugar, and half of the lemon juice. Mash a few times with a potato masher or fork. Cook mixture over medium-high heat until bubbling and sugar has dissolved; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, until it has reduced by about one-third and is beginning to gel. Set aside until completely cool. Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Cut dough into four pieces. On a well-floured surface, roll the first piece out to about 12 inches by 6 inches. Place on cookie sheet. Spread about 1/4 cup of the cooled jam along half of the sheet of pastry, lengthwise (ie, the 12-inch side), leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges. Fold the other, naked side of the pastry over the jam-spread side, and press down on edges to seal. Create tiny slits with a knife on surface of pastry, about 2 inches apart, to allow air to escape while baking. Repeat with remaining three sections of dough, ending with 2 pastries on each cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until pastry is just beginning to turn golden. Cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes, then slice into bars.

Vegan Tofu Tiramisu If you’re trying to follow a plant-based diet that minimises the amount of animal products you eat, or if you’re trying to eat healthier, then treating yourself to Tiramisu doesn’t seem to be a viable option. Typically made with cream, mascarpone cheese, white sugar and lady fingers. None of those things scream health to me, definitely indulgence, not health. It’s also usually made with alcohol so for people who can’t drink alcohol like me, by default eating it is always out of the question. The good news is that you CAN make a healthier version at home. Without cheese, cream, dairy and alcohol! Not only that, you can make a plant-based version that’s higher in protein! How? By using tofu as […]

Even though I post photos of my sammies all the time, I...
