Really Easy Vegetarian Student Food
Posted by Vivienne Forristal at
How do you make it "Really Easy"? We'd say basic equipment, not too many ingredients and as little washing up as possible! Student life is busy. Feeding yourself can be nudged down the list of priorities. It can also be very expensive. Preparing your own food is cheaper and potentially more nutritious. Here are a few easy Vegetarian dishes to keep hunger at bay. As for drinks, never buy one again! Get yourself a Reusable Bottle with inbuilt filter and drink only filtered water. Its way cheaper, widely available and healthier for you. And you aren't contributing to Landfill, which is something you can feel good about....

A chip butty is vegan if you use the right spread on your bread. So is a jam sandwich. And a can of Coke. But I’m guessing that’s not why you’re here…
If you are wondering about a Vegan diet, here are some thoughts about doing it the easy way. And choosing good quality whole foods over processed and animal products.

No Junkfood - make your own Veggie Baby Food
Posted by Vivienne Forristal at
Your baby is the cutest. And the most advanced. Right? You can hardly wait for the first smile, first word, first tooth, first steps, the first tantrum in the junkfood aisle of the supermarket. Wait. Hold on a minute, can’t we skip that bit?
We feed our babies to keep them healthy as they grow. But the end game is that they learn to eat the same foods as the rest of the family. Once your baby is on solids, feeding a varied diet will help to develop their tastes for a wide range of foods, and what’s great is they don’t have to be bland. Read more including unusual flavours...
