You set the BAR that you LIVE by – Overnight Turmeric Buckwheat
One step forward, two steps back. Often it can feel like this. That you are striving towards a goal, whatever that goal may be, and each step you take forwards, it feels like you are falling backwards. Or that no matter how hard you try, you can’t reach your goal. Or even in the TRYING…
I’m a vegan but… I LOVE MEAT – Tofu Kedgeree
This is quite controversial coming from the mouth of a vegan but…. I love MEAT. I’ve been thinking of writing this blog post for a while as so much of the time with vegan activism, we don’t hear from the vegans who STILL LOVE MEAT. Why do you think there are so many meat substitutes…

BINGE watch, BINGE eat, BINGE drink, REPEAT – Super Sexy Salted Caramel Sauce.
I had a food binge. A mindless food binge. I wasn’t even tasting the food. I just wanted all of the chocolate and sugar in my mouth. Nothing would fill the deep hunger within me. The empty hole that would never be full. Barely chewing. Just cramming it in my mouth and swallowing it down….
