In my meal prep world, I couldn’t live without a freezer. I prep 3 days of food and store it in the fridge and either do another small prep session later in the week or make freezer-friendly food to be eaten on Thursday or Friday.…

I had to move country to even discover lima beans, but my research for this recipe creation revealed that lima beans are the universal hate-vegetable. I think hate-vegetable will probably become a recognized word anytime soon since there is hate speech, hate crime and so…
Whether or not time is scarce, is really more a philosophical question than anything else.
In economics, scarcity refers to limitations. That means goods or services can be limited and so can be time or abilities to achieve the desired ends. The non-economists will agree that natural resources are scarce because they take a lot of effort, money, time, or other resources to get, or because there seems to be a finite amount available.
On a weekday night in our house, there is definitely only a finite amount of time available before the night routine for little L’Maddy hits in.

In a large pot, melt the coconut oil over low-medium heat.
Add peeled and diced veggies into the pot and stir until combined. Increase heat to medium.
Add in the rest of the ingredients (lentils, water, diced tomatoes [with juices], coconut milk, all the spices, salt, and pepper). Stir until combined.
Increase heat to high and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for 18 to 30 minutes, until the veggies and lentils are tender; the cook time will depend on the types of veggies you use, and their size. Stir the dal frequently while cooking, and reduce the heat if necessary to prevent it from sticking to the pot. Add water if mixture becomes to thick.
If desired, serve with (cauliflower) rice, and garnish with cilantro and lime.
Not quite an a meal plan, but here comes an idea that will minimize your thinking as to what to serve for dinner next week. Indian food is perfect for having country-themed meals every night of the week. That is because India has the world’s largest…
My cousin goes by the name of Tinka. A while ago, she asked my if there was anything with “potatoes or pasta” on my blog. I like pasta but more as a I-forgot-to-prep-something-let’s-just-eat-pasta (especially with this marinara sauce – or for a bit more nutritious…
If you’re a candy lover like me, I’m sure your vegan journey let you type “Which candy is vegan?” into your trusted search engine. Google will tell you:

4) Jolly Ranchers, All Standard Flavors.
5) Mamba Fruit Chews.
6) Sour Patch Kids.
7) Swedish Fish.
8) Skittles.
In case you’re missing Ferrero’s Raffelos on the list, it’s because they aren’t vegan. The truffle comprises a spherical wafer which is filled with a white milk cream and with the lactose goes the suitability for a vegan diet.
But that’s not really bad news, because you can whip up your very own Vegan Rafaellos in just 10 minutes.
If you’re planning to feed a baby with these balls, just skip the sweetner and you’re good to go. While such Baby Rafaellos are perfect for these little chubby fingers, eating them is a bit of a messy undertaking for babies, toddlers and adults alike. Coconut flakes will fall of, just like the ones that the commercial Rafaellos are coated in.
This Coconut Balls recipe requires very little equipment:

I named this recipe Vegan Aussie Mint Slice because I learnt how to make this show stopping dessert. It was about time for a pre-vegan time substitute to Arnott’s Mint Slice, a famous Australian biscuit. This is the kind of desserts who want to your…
