Hello everyone, I hope you are having a lovely week. It is snack of the week time again. Over the weekend, I visited the Big Vegan Market in Melbourne.

I made this salad for dinner last weekend and it was a hit in my household. I love how well the roasted sweet potato and cauliflower goes with the creamy vegan dressing. I also added some of my crunchy spice roasted chickpeas as the salad topper for some crunchiness. I love all the different textures from the roasted vegetables, fresh herbs as well as the … Continue reading Sweet Potato & Cauliflower Parsley Salad with Creamy Vegan Dressing

It is low GI, contains good fat, healthy amount … Continue reading Superfood Protein Bliss Balls

However, he … Continue reading Quinoa Vegeree not Kedgeree

As a result, I sometimes choose to only order a quiche if I know the café makes a good quiche. I love … Continue reading Caramelised Onions, Sweet Potato & Feta Quiche with a Quinoa Crust
