I don’t know if everyone would classify this as a salad but I do! It’s delicious cold or hot and lasts for days in the fridge. It’s affordable but a little bit luxurious, it’s easy and it’s filling.

Anyone else enjoy a sweet snack every now and then? These cashew stuffed dates dipped in chocolate are the ultimate indulgence and they’re vegan too! Easily stored in the freezer or fridge, these stuffed dates will be your go to for that after dinner sugar hit or just because.

Who doesn’t love a tortilla? They’re super easy to make, they delicious, cost effective and so versatile! The only downside to modern tortilla is that it usually comes wrapped in single use plastic - not ideal. We thought we’d share our favourite tortilla recipe to help reduce some of plastic out there AND everything taste more delicious when you make it yourself! These are great as wraps, cut into strips served with hummus and guacamole - you could even use it as a pizza base!
