Creamy One Pot Pasta - Vegan - Gluten Free

One pot pasta for dinner 🍝🌱😊😍😋😍☺🌱🍝
So easy and so yum 😋😋😋
I made more tomato sauce yesterday, so saved about 2 cups in the pan for this. No oil.  I added half a pack of Oregan brown rice spirals, about 1 cup cashew milk, mushrooms, a large patty squash, lots of spinach and kale, a tablespoon nutritional yeast. It takes about 12 minutes to cook once its bubbling. Its so delicious!

Spaghetti with roasted Zucchini and Mushrooms - Vegan - Gluten Free

Yum! This was so delicious 😍🍝😋🍝😍🍝😋🍝😍 Tinkyada brown rice pasta (I order it online from iherb). 😍💞😍 Homemade tomato sauce, (recipe posted the other day on Instagram), with some mushrooms and zucchini (air fried for 10 mins), some white beans and a splash of thick cashew milk. So easy! You can add some vegan cheese if you like 😉
Adding beans to pasta instead of meat is so easy. If you want to disguise them as you get used to the taste, you can mash them up in the sauce. Beans are really, really, really good for us, even keeping blood sugars more stable well after they are digested (search for info on Dr Gregers Nutritionfacts.org) They are head over heels better weight for weight compared to meat and there are so many fabulous recipes including beans now online, it makes it so easy to keep inventing new favourite dishes. They also have loads more nutrients and none of the stuff that's going to be bad for us, or the animals. Save lives, help yourself. Eat beans.  Go Vegan 🌱😆😙😆🌱 😙 Sarah

Breakfast - Vegan - Gluten Free

I'd love to create one of those amazing breakfast smootie bowls I see on Insta, but the reality is when I've tried, I end up with a mucky looking bowl of sinking fruit soup 😂😊😂
Doesn't matter 😉 I love Weet Bix, this one is Gluten Free and made with Sorghum, a great option for Celiacs who can't tolerate oats. The much cheaper and healthy whole grain "wheat" Weet Bix is still a fantastic Vegan option for most people.
I spread some tahini or peanut butter on the biscuits (they are there under the fruit 😉) with a little strawberry jam. Stick the banana on top of that and pile high with berries. Fresh berries for now, the cheaper option is frozen berries. A sprinkle of cinnamon, topped with warm cashew milk...and my must have cup of coffee...
Breakfast is delicious! 🌱😍🍌🍓☕😋☕🍓🍌😍🌱 and eaten much earlier than this post is coming out!
It's packed with carbs for easy to utilise energy for my brain and body, the all important fibre for digestive health, protein for growth and repair and nutrients galore 😁🙌💪🙌😁 This is about 57 carbs for type1 diabetics out there 😉 I weigh and calculate every thing I eat and have never been in better control on a high carb, low fat, whole food plant based diet, I have lower, more stable blood sugars and less insulin too, even with eating more delicious food 😋😁💪😁😋
It's great to be able to tick off so many boxes on Dr Greger's daily dozen too 😃👍🙌👍😃

It's time to plant seeds

The Moon is waxing, I've been sowing seeds once again. I was waiting for the Moon to be in Pisces, being a water sign, it's the best time to plant seeds. 🌱🌰🌱🌰🌱
This is also the best time to plant growth seeds in our own lives. Keeping our minds, bodies and actions focused on the positives in life, what feels good and helps us to feel good, propells us towards contentment and happiness in our every day.  I believe, if we do this work for ourselves, the results will filter through to the rest of the world, making it a better place to live for every living soul. 🙏😊🌞🌼😊🌞🌼🙏

Mini Pizza - Vegan - Gluten Free

When we were growing up, my sister and I used to make mini pizzas on the weekends, I still love to eat them now. I use Enzo's gluten free bread(toasted, it makes a fabby crust), with Green Vie Vegan Mozarella (both available from She's Apples in Australia), my tomato sauce (fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, herbs simmered down and bottled), mushrooms, olives and pineapple. So yum! It feels crazy to me to feel this good and this energised after eating pizza! The limited fat content from plant foods keeps my blood sugar rise predictable, which makes it easier to bolus for type 1.  I'm so grateful, pizza is one of top things I craved after getting celiacs and giving up meat and dairy nearly 5 years ago. Woo hoo, I love food, I love eating and I love choosing to only eat plant foods 🌱😊🍕😋💚🍄💚😊🍕😋🌱
