Trying a new vegan recipe everyday after school this week has been a little bit hectic but we have done it! The favourites of the week were the Ultimate Chilli recipe by BOSH! (I will just need to reduce the chilli a little bit for the boys next time), and a close second was the …
If anyone is looking for a snack/lunch on the go, I can highly recommend the vegan ‘sausage’ roll from Greggs. It is super tasty and my husband and boys love it too! #plantbaseddiet
Back in August I wrote about how I was trying to reduce our consumption of meat and dairy products. It initially started when I read that “avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet.” So it was a no brainer for me to take some …
Christmas movie time with some home made popcorn. The kernels are from my local refill shop and I don’t even need a popcorn maker. Just popped in a pan with some olive oil, then drizzled with butter and salt. Husband couldn’t even wait for me to finish taking the photo before diving in! Some changes …
Just because we can have it all, doesn’t mean we should.

I hate being cold. So as we are now heading into the winter months, I have been looking into how to make sure that I am using my central heating as efficiently as possible. This is especially important as the use of gas to heat our homes is actually the most significant part of most …
Laundry is just a never ending cycle in my house. Its environmental impact is therefore something that I have been keen to address. The excessive use of energy and water was obviously my first concern, however this then quickly led on to the toxic detergents, plastic microfibers and the ultimate damage to the clothes themselves. …
I do not bake. I have previously attempted both of my boys’ 1st birthday cakes and they were completely inedible! This is therefore a skill that I am going to have to (begrudgingly) learn if I am to try to avoid the plastic wrapping of the copious amounts of biscuits and snacks that we get …
As with all change, it takes a while to find your feet. My sustainability drive so far has been a lot of trial and error, not just in the products and suppliers that I use, but almost as importantly, the ways in which I implement the change ie new household systems. (I am not a …
