So incredibly easy, these apple chips don’t require a dehydrator or sugar. I love them, my kids love them, they’re healthy and, honestly, they beat any store-bought apple chips I have ever tried. The batch you see in the images here were made from apples we picked as a family from our friends’ mini orchard, north…

VEGAN SPICED BUNS (with orange zest & nuts)… + a little announcement
Before I get to the recipe for these yummy buns, I will share both a sneak preview of the buns themselves and my news… simultaneously (two birds, and all of that!).

SWEET POTATO PIE BAKED PORRIDGE POTS (Happy Food Revolution Day, 2015!)
Yes, it’s Food Revolution Day, 2015.

SPICED CHAI SMOOTHIE WITH COCONUT CRUSHED ICE (pretending summer's not over)
Firstly, I love chai! Secondly, despite my recent post mentioning some rather intense events that unfolded during a trip to India years ago, there were some truly wonderful moments too. Some of my fondest memories of India involve sipping chai with local people in the village where we ended up staying. The chai I drank there was always…
