No Bowl Fast Wholemeal Bread
I love my no-knead bread recipes that I make in a Le Creuset dutch oven. I've posted several variations on my blog: seeded no knead bread, cinnamon raisin, and Mediterranean cheese. But, the one downside to that recipe is that you need to remember to mix the dough the night before. I can be a … Continue reading No Bowl Fast Wholemeal Bread
Organic and Natural Beauty
Over the past year or so, I’ve been wearing less makeup and choosing more natural beauty products. Many of my highstreet products I still use like blushers and eye shadows, though I’m being a bit firmer with myself about throwing out long-expired products. Last winter, I had a bad reaction under my eyes to an … Continue reading Organic and Natural Beauty
Seville Orange Drizzle Cake
Last year I bought some small oranges for snacks at work. The first one I peeled was incredibly sour and seedy and I thought I'd just been unlucky and got a bad orange. The next one I peeled was even more seedy. This is when I took to google and I realised I had purchased … Continue reading Seville Orange Drizzle Cake
How to Compost
One of the first things Lucy and I wanted to do in our new home was set up a compost. We have a garden waste/food waste bin that gets collected every two weeks, but composting has a lower impact on the environment (think of the trucks needed to collect the waste, and then the energy … Continue reading How to Compost

Moist, … Continue reading Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes

I love making soups because it’s a great way to use up wilted vegetables and prevent food waste. Here are three of my favourite soup recipes … Continue reading Three Vegan Winter Soups

Selling and Buying a House in the UK: Part 1
We moved into our new house in early December 2019. It truly does feel like home and we are really happy here, but I don't miss the stressful process of selling and buying property! You can see the post from moving day here. As a first time buyer, and a Canadian resident in the UK, … Continue reading Selling and Buying a House in the UK: Part 1
Low Waste Skincare Routine
I wrote a daily skincare routine in April 2018, but since switching to low waste living, my routine has changed considerably, and I thought it was time for an update! Firstly, I get up about half an hour later than I used to (6:25-6:45) and my commute is much more bearable! I also have more … Continue reading Low Waste Skincare Routine
