Here's what I have been cooking in recent weeks.
- Lentil Bolognese - I had a bag of lentils that need using up and after a quick google search I came up with a million and one recipes for lentil bolognese. I will say it may be worth preparing lentils in advance because this wasn't a quick meal to make.
- Vegan Chocolate Cake in a mug - I'm cheating as this first appeared on my blog in 2013 but I had forgotten how good it was until I was craving a sweet treat one evening.
- Vegan 'Cheesecake' (minimalistbaker.com) - I made the peanut butter versions but adapted the base with Nakd bars which was an idea I took from another recipe. These were very tasty but if I made it again I would probably opt for a traditional digestive biscuit base.
- Raw & Vegan Chocolate Truffles - there are plenty of Vegan truffle recipes on Pinterest and I tried one from The Kitchy Kitchen. These have to be the most delicious treat I have ever made for myself, pure indulgence.
Do let me know if you try any of these recipes as I would love to know what you thought of them.

The lentil bolognese is a good standby to leave in a slow cooker before work. I like this as a base for lasagne too x
ReplyDeleteyes I can see that being a good option, I find different brands/types of lentils require variations on cooking times, bit of a faff at times. Dairy free lasagna not impossible to make but good vegan "cheese" & suitable pasta that's the tricky part
DeleteWe make vegan truffles, too and you really can't tell the difference, can you? Yum! #FreeFromFridays
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten dairy truffles so that's one I can't answer :D
DeleteYou can't beat a cake in a mug!!! Love them for that quick 'fix'. Thanks for sharing these great recipes!
ReplyDeleteI agree :D happy to share, there are so many recipes I want to try and it's nice to be able to share that they ended up being tasty because you never can be too sure :)
