Sweet potato oat bars {vegan + gluten-free}

I have a confession to make: these bars almost didn’t make it to the blog. Not because they aren’t delicious, but because I almost ate them all up before taking pictures earlier this week. Usually I’m quite good and don’t really scarf down every morsel, but I don’t even think Man-thing got a real slice, which goes to show that these are magical indeed!

Choc banana loaf bars {vegan + gluten-free}

I know, I know, it’s like I couldn’t make up my mind about what on earth this is. It’s a loaf and works as a bar, so… yep. That’s as big as my brain can go at the moment! With lesson prep for school, a new kitty to integrate (see below!!), and general life to organize, it’s difficult to stay afloat sometimes without a little help. Chocolate helps. Bananas help. Onward ho for munchies!

Review of One Green Planet’s Food Monster app!

Howdy! This post is super exciting for me because I’m going to be sharing a review for One Green Planet’s fabulous free app, Food Monster, as well as a link to download it before it’s official worldwide release on Earth Day, 22 April! Some of you might have seen it yesterday in another post but I decided to split it so it gets its very own spotlight 🙂

Chocolate brittle ice-cream

Whoop whoop! I am super excited about today’s post because I get to talk about one of my favourite things: chocolate ice-cream! Some of you may have seen my review of One Green Planet’s Food Monster app here but I’ve shifted it over to this post so that each one gets its own bit of shiny 😀

Frosty passionfruit pear cheezecake

Friday!! Whoo hoo! Well, I don’t want to say not really, since I have so much work to do and little time in which to get it down, but it’s still the principle of the matter: celebrate where and when you can. It’s been a while since I posted something food-related, so I figured I’d dig something out of the draft archives that I’ve wanted to share for a while. These munchies are long gone by now, but they were tasty and easy, so even laziness is no excuse for me to make them again, and for you to try them out 😀

A trip to Morocco!

Ok, I’m going to start this all of by reminding everyone that I used to be a diplomat’s brat and spent about 20 years travelling up and down the world, so contrary, I guess, to what most people will imagine, I would happily burn my passport and never leave the country. Nevertheless the thought of disappointing my little siblings was too great a feat to overcome, so Man-thing and I packed up our goodies and presents, and said goodbye to the cats as we marched off to the airport for a holiday. This is a little overview of what we got up to! 

Hot cross bundt cake {vegan + gluten-free}

Ahoy from Morocco! The radio silence on the blog and elsewhere has been the result of intense tourist vibes, but I had to stop and say hi with some delicious cake that we munched last week before leaving for Rabat.
