In terms of hormone health, this is the perfect dessert! It has some of my most favourite hormone friendly ingredients and is loaded with essential nutrients for hormone health. The chocolate provides the magnesium and iron (provided it is good quality dark chocolate) and the tofu provides beneficial phytoestrogens, extra calcium, and more iron.
I have tried a few vegan brownies over the years and I am most excited about this recipe. Not only does it contain no flour so it is completely gluten-free, texture-wise it is the most legitimate brownie I have made to date. It tastes just like a less sweet version of a traditional brownie
When I first made this cake a while ago I never intended to blog it because it is the exact same recipe as my vegan baked vanilla cheesecake but with the addition of blueberries and a little lemon zest. I was so thrilled my first attempt at a baked vegan cheesecake had worked so well that I wanted to try different flavour combinations.
I have experimented with chia pudding a fair bit over the years and was never quite happy with all the different ways to make chia pudding. Chia pudding is usually eaten for breakfast but most recipes I have seen called for a plant milk base and quite frankly it is just not filling enough or flavourful enough.
but when it comes to raising low estrogen for women in reproductive years (not postmenopausal women) they can only help once the root cause of low estrogen is addressed. In most cases the root cause involves; not eating enough, exercising too much and excessive stress. Addressing these issues is what brings about real change, and only after these problems are rectified is it ok to lean on these foods for extra support.
I'm not really sure what to say about this tart other than my husband ate 3/4 of the whole thing in one sitting! There was something about this flavour combination that really really worked. I have made a few vegan custard type tarts before but this time I wanted to create a custard recipe that was a little firmer than usual.
I have been a little slow to the game and never owned a rice cooker until now, but I am so glad I waited because this rice cooker serves as the perfect machine for easy set and forget one-pot meals.
I have shared three different ice cream cakes on Instagram before and I never felt the need to blog a recipe for them because they are so easy to make! However every time I share an ice cream cake photo, I inevitably have a few people ask for the recipe, so I thought I would try my first "how-to" type blog post.
This article is written for young women of reproductive age, not women in peri menopause. I was in my early 20s when I was struggling with severely low estrogen, the

The gist of a millionaire bar is a shortbread cookie base, caramel centre, and chocolate coating. Three of my favourite things in one! I also can't pass up an opportunity to use tahini in any recipe that calls for caramel.
I have decided that I really wanted to achieve a much fluffier pancake texture than the ones that I am used to, so I decided to try adding some vegan yogurt. I think the yogurt helps the pancakes to rise and bubble.
Its been quite a while since I made a tofu quiche! I’m not sure why as the first time I tried a vegan quiche was a raving success. I loved it so much and I remember I loved the fact that it could be frozen...
As much as I love pretty much all summer fruits, I have never been a fan of white flesh nectarines. They seem to have a strange perfumed flavour that I
Using cashews for raw/no-bake vegan desserts is the gold standard and I love using them because they are nutritious and filling. However, I go through so many cashews in my
Dragon fruit, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful fruits! We recently went to a tropical fruit farm on our family holiday up to Queensland and my favourite

I have never really been a fan of bounty bars so I thought this slice wouldn’t be my favourite. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with coconut. I
I remember seeing a video for vegan tiramisu cups years and years ago way before I even started my blog and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to
As many of you know, as of this year (which is almost over) I have been doing a lot of research into hormone health. So much of the information I
