We've been making our own lunches for years to save on all of the waste associated with buying convenience food plus it can be significantly cheaper too. One of our favourite bakes is bagels, they may look a little tricky but once you get the hang of them you'll be making them every week too! These usually last up to a week fresh but you can also freeze them so none of them go to waste.
I don’t know if everyone would classify this as a salad but I do! It’s delicious cold or hot and lasts for days in the fridge. It’s affordable but a little bit luxurious, it’s easy and it’s filling. It’s something that you can throw together when you’ve had long day and it doesn’t take hours but it’s filled with a lot of goodness too. It’s my favourite salad right now.
Anyone else enjoy a sweet snack every now and then? These cashew stuffed dates dipped in chocolate are the ultimate indulgence and they’re vegan too! Easily stored in the freezer or fridge, these stuffed dates will be your go to for that after dinner sugar hit or just because. We’ve picked cashew butter but you can definitely mix it up and add almond butter or peanut butter - whatever you have in the cupboards is fine! And if chocolate isn’t your thing, don’t add it or maybe dip half in, the choice is really up to you.
Who doesn’t love a tortilla? They’re super easy to make, they delicious, cost effective and so versatile! The only downside to modern tortilla is that it usually comes wrapped in single use plastic - not ideal. We thought we’d share our favourite tortilla recipe to help reduce some of plastic out there AND everything taste more delicious when you make it yourself! These are great as wraps, cut into strips served with hummus and guacamole - you could even use it as a pizza base!
Introducing hummus without tahini! Anyone always forget to pick up tahini? I can’t be the only one! I’ve created this smokey paprika hummus that you can make right at home with cashew butter. One of the downsides to buying hummus is that 99.9% of the time it comes in plastic. There's so many benefits to making your own hummus at home - it’s easy, you can customize it to your taste and you can reduce your waste all at the same time!
If you’re wanting to cut down on meat and are looking to have at least one meat free dinner a week - a curry might be what you’re looking for! This one pot vegan vegetable curry is filled with flavour and all of the good stuff. I love a recipe that doesn’t require a lot of effort and this is definitely one of those recipes. This curry can not only be enjoyed a curry but I like to make pies with it too - it just give and gives!
