Warm Vegan Couscous Salad We all know that Sundays are for self-care, which includes doing nothing sometimes. My Sunday wasn’t very productive, because I’ve caught a cold... I hope it’s a cold, because the corona virus has everyone on edge and I don’t need that negativity in my life right now. Now that we are coming towards a new week and I am trying to scare off a cold, why not use up all the vitamin and mineral rich nutrients that are coming up to their use-by dates? As a result of that idea and my predicament, combined with the fact that I am feeling pretty lazy I thought I’d rustle up something as I go along. That is how this couscous salad was born J . This salad is great because its warm and tasty, but still pretty light. The different textures and flavours make it fun and satisfying. Why not give it a try? Ingredients: 200g Baby Leaf Spinach 200g Tenderstem Broccoli ¼ Green Bell Pepper ¼ Red Bell Pepper 2 Spring Onions 100g Chestnut Mushrooms

Jamaican Vegan Brunch  Fried Dumplings and Veg Despite the weather here in London I managed to go to the gym this morning. Even though I was working out, my mind was on brunch because I only had a banana before heading out.   It’s Saturday and I have been having smoothies for breakfast all week. So I decided to go all out on brunch, Jamaican style. I decided to make fried dumplings with steamed vegetables and plantain. I have never been able to fry dumplings properly without milk. However, now that I am following a vegan diet, I had to give the old fashioned way a try. I must say... they didn't turn out too badly Hahah! My Momma will be proud!
