I am not a vegan and have a meat meal when I feel like it. 

Tip of the day - listen to your body. I strongly feel if you are eating enough nutrients then your body starts to crave less things. When I started eating 10 a day I would have added noodles to this dish, but I found over time I was wanting the noodles less and less. But if I feel like them I will add them to my diet - always NOT at the expense of fruit and veggies. 

Apple and Rhubarb crumble

This was based on this recipe

For the filling
4 sticks rhubarb, 2 apples, 2 dates, 1tblsn linseed, cinnamon to taste
Blitz up and put in bowl

Topping
Handfull of nuts (I used hazelnuts) handfull dates and vanilla extract
Blitz up and put on top of filling

Enjoy :D this one is REALLY yummy

For the pasta I make noodles in the spiraliser from one courgette then toss it in a little lemon juice.

For the sauce

Point for the day - Only count juice as 1 of your 10 a day as juice has most of the fibre taken out of it while having lots of natural sugars in it. Personally I also have about 1/3rd juice to 2/3rds water as I find juice alone too strong and too sweet

Raw Pizza

OK it looks nothing like a Pizza but it was yummy. 

Base

Handful walnuts, olive oil, 1 mushroom and 1/4 tsp veggimite 

Blitz together till it looks like fine breadcrumbs then press onto a baking sheet to about 1cm thick. Dry in dehydrator or a 100C oven for 15 min (or longer, I was hungry)

'Cheese'

Soak a handful cashew nuts in water (I only did it for a couple of min) drain and blitz with 1/2 tsp veggimite and a little of the soaking water until it becomes a hummus like consistency

Tomato sauce

6 small tomatoes, 4 sun dried tomatoes, 1/2 orange pepper, 2 spring onions, 1tsp dried Italian herbs  

Blitz together

(I made a little too much and it made a great dressing for the salad too)

Carefully put base on plate (its crumbly) spread with sauce and top with 'cheese'

OK its not Pizza but with the veggimite it satisfies my craving for savoury salty food
