Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers
Even before I became a vegetarian I have always loved a good veggie burger. Years ago, when I was a dancer working part-time at the local Pharmacy to make ends meet, the cafe a couple of doors up were famous for them. It was a simple place. A real old-school establishment that always looked a little grubby. Old band posters covered every inch and they played rock music a little too loudly from the moment the doors opened at 7am until close. The memory of that veggie burger has always stayed with me. I’ve tried to replicate it countless times over the years without much luck… until now. These Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers are absolutely scrumptious!

What’s Cooking: Lunchbox Round-up
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I love a packed lunch. Bringing lunch to work saves me money and keeps me healthy. But not everyone feels they can do this. We’re all super busy and making your own lunch can sometimes seem like another job to fit into an already over-packed schedule. I get it – no judgement. We’re all just doing our best. That’s why for this week’s blog post I thought it might be fun to share some of my go-to lunchbox ideas from the blog via my Lunchbox Round Up. Let’s get cracking!

Vegan Waldorf Salad Wrap
One of the places people have the most trouble when trying eat better is lunch. I can totally relate. Not being a morning person the last thing I want to worry about is creating a culinary masterpiece to take to work. Besides, there are more important jobs like making sure the kid’s sorted for his day and de-zombifying myself (told you, not a morning person 🙂 ). That’s where my Vegan Waldorf Salad Wrap comes in handy. Each component is easy to prep ahead of time and keeps well in the fridge. A delicious and satisfying lunch in a pinch for several days in a row. Done and done. ✔

Rainbow Salad Bowl with Green Goddess Dressing
It can be tricky sometimes as a vegetarian living with a couple of meat eaters. The dilemma I often face is, how do I feed my family as well as myself without having to cook two completely different meals? I find the best way around this is by being prepared. As long as I’ve got a variety of nuts in the pantry, a packet of leafy greens and a jar of previously made dressing in the fridge I’m good to go. In fact, that’s exactly how my Rainbow Salad Bowl with Green Goddess Dressing came to be.

Vegan Tuna Wrap
This whole vegetarian thing I’ve been doing lately has been a real trip. No, not because I’m discovering new and obscure super expensive foods to cook with, but because it’s helped me use everyday ordinary foods in ways I never would have imagined. Take my Vegan Tuna Wrap for example. If you had told me 12 months ago I’d be making myself vegan tuna for lunch I would have laughed in your face.

Brown Rice and Chickpea Lunchbox
I have a confession to make.
I used to be judge-y about brown rice. In fact, the mere mention of brown rice was enough to make me cringe. Everywhere I looked people were swapping white rice for brown. “What’s wrong with white rice? The Japanese have been eating it for centuries,” I would wonder. I thought it was just another trend and that people would eventually come to their senses. Plus, I’d heard it tasted horrible.
How wrong I was. About all of it. Brown rice has a delicious nutty flavour that tastes great warm or cold. It is also easy to prepare and incredibly nourishing. What’s not to love?

Chickpea and Green Bean Lunch Bowl
My journey as a vegetarian began organically. I had started making salads for lunch and was looking for ways to mix things up. I wanted more variety than I was able to create so I went online.
Searching the phrase ‘vegetarian salad ideas’ I came across a whole new world that I hadn’t realised existed. Lunch bowls full of yummy, vibrantly coloured veggies jumped out at me. Then something wonderful happened. With each new recipe I tried I noticed how much better I felt. After some careful research into how to be a ‘healthy’ vegetarian I decided to take the plunge and I haven’t looked back. Continue reading “Chickpea and Green Bean Lunch Bowl”
