1/2 cup fresh organic parsley, chopped

Home-Made Turkey Meat Balls (or Burger) Recipe – Gluten & Dairy Free
This is the perfect recipe for you to make with your kids, or just for you if you don’t have any. I say this because I believe it is really important to teach kids how food is made, and that the ingredients to make a recipe do not just fall from the sky and into our supermarkets.
As a recent survey carried out in the UK showed that almost one third of primary school pupils thought that cheese was made from plants and one quarter thought that fish fingers came from chicken or pigs!
What on earth is being taught in our UK schools is what I want to know? I think its more a case of what isn’t being taught … Read More

Vegan Coconut Whipped Cream – Soy, Dairy, Sugar & Gluten Free
I bet you did not know that sitting on your supermarket shelves is the healthiest and tastiest whipped cream you will ever come across that is derived from a fruit? The whipped cream I am talking about comes directly from a tin of your average coconut milk, and is much healthier than using cream made from cows milk.
To find a tin that has already got coconut cream in it can be hard as not all brands of coconut milk have solidified on the shelf. But your in luck (well those of you that live in the UK anyway!) as I have shopped around, trying tin after tin (oh it was a chore… ), and Waitrose Organic Coconut Milk … Read More
Why Drinking Cow’s Milk (Including Organic) is Over Rated, Not Natural & Promotes Animal Abuse
It is actually disgusting the amount of people that consume milk on a daily basis having been misled about its supposed ‘health benefits’. The majority of this milk is also taken cows that have been reared by totally unsustainable conventional farming that promote cruelty in farming rather than preventing it.
The majority of people I am sure reading this probably believe that cows milk is healthy and that it comes from happy smiley cows like you see on the ads. Today I am going to break these myths and hopefully offer you some simple reasons why if you currently drink milk, why it might be better that you don’t.
A Glass of The Good Stuff
Cows milk just contains cows milk right? … Read More
Gluten and Dairy Free Bread Review: Living Raw Onion Bread by Pura Vida
Many gluten free breads on the market today are so full of dangerous additives, preservatives and colourants (to name a few), and are so overheated during the cooking process - it means that avoiding gluten is not the only thing we should be worrying about when choosing a bread.
I live a gluten and dairy free lifestyle and have done for about 3years. I have found many challenges along the way with this lifestyle, not only with trying to ensure these ingredients are not in the food items I buy, but ensuring I am actually getting a healthy gluten and dairy free food item at that.
The gluten free breads I have tried on the UK market, have been quite bland and always full of nonsense ingredients that take away … Read More
