My C5 disc has bulged into my C6 nerve which is a nerve that … More I am going completely raw for 21 days.
Ethiopian food is amazing, if you ever get the opportunity to go to an Ethiopian restaurant, I highly recommend it. Heavily spiced lentils served with Injera (flatbreads) are what you can expect and they taste incredible, however, being able to track down the various spices elsewhere in the World though, can be really difficult, so … More Ethiopian Style Lentil Stew
If you eat a plant based diet, then you are probably used to making your own “Buddha bowls” and will more than likely have your own favourite ingredients for them.

Only no animals have to die to get there. I have chosen veg that works well with slow cooking. By making the … More Rice and Beans: Louisiana Red Beans and Rice
This is super healthy, high in protein, loaded with veg and is totally gluten free (just make sure you buy gluten free oats that have not been prepared on machines shared with wheat products).

One of my favourite things to do as a plant based eater is to make modern, updated versions of “student staples”. One of the cheapest meals on the planet is a baked potato with baked beans.

I have made many many many many dals in my life (or dhal, daal, dahl, dal, dall – I have made many, but still have no idea what the correct way of spelling the thing is!) but have never included butternut pumpkin in them until recently.
