Plant-Based Eating and Gentle Living
I am always looking for nutritious, quick breakfast ideas that I can make ahead and have easy meals to grab during the work week. While I often batch cook and freeze healthy waffles, I do like to mix it up too. And while some may think of oatmeal as a rather bland breakfast, it doesn’t... Continue Reading →
It’s hard to believe we’re already at the tail end of 2025. This year has moved quickly and been a true whirlwind. Before anything else, I want to say thank you. To everyone who has liked, commented, shared recipes, or simply spent time here: I’m deeply grateful. This space wouldn’t exist without you. Like many... Continue Reading →
My daughter is officially at the age where she is adamant we must leave snacks out for Santa. And she takes the responsibility very seriously. While Santa may be known for loving classic chocolate chip cookies, she has confidently declared that he is sure to love these vegan sugar cookies too! So, our Christmas spread... Continue Reading →

It’s the week of my daughter’s birthday and, to celebrate, I asked her what kind of special breakfast she wanted.

Every now and then, breakfast deserves to feel like a celebration. These Vegan Peanut Butter Cup Pancakes deliver exactly that moment of joy. This isn’t your everyday nourishing morning meal; it’s a touch of pure indulgence reserved for birthdays, weekend brunches, or those “just because” days when a bit of chocolate and peanut butter magic...

I’ve known Scotty for almost twenty years now. Two whole decades that somehow disappeared in a blink! I originally adopted him as a companion for my horse, Annie (who I’ll be featuring soon). At just 10.2hh, he’s a stout little pony with what I’m fairly certain are some Welsh pony lines tucked somewhere in his... Continue Reading →
We are a busy family. Between two full time jobs, young kids, countless animals to care for, recipe testing and running the blog, life gets away from us sometimes. We find the fall, spring and winter particularly difficult to keep up with the housework. We heat with firewood, which is notoriously messy, plus we find... Continue Reading →
I’m always trying to mix up the snacks in my daughter’s school lunch as I try to expose her to different foods. Her school, like many others, is completely nut-free, which means a lot of her everyday favourites can’t make their way into the lunchbox. Finding snacks that are filling, satisfying, and toddler-approved can feel... Continue Reading →
