Hello! Long time no see. It’s still (somehow) summer, even though it doesn’t feel like it. So, how about a final summer recipe? This uses spinach and courgette, which are both in season in summer. This recipe serves two, but if you want more or less, have more or less! Enjoy! Ingredients: 4 handfuls ofContinue reading “Courgette and spinach pasta”

My New Job
So, I haven’t been posting as regularly as I normally do (sorry) because I have a new job! I thought that I’d use this opportunity to explain my new job to you and let you know what I’m getting up to. Who am I working for? I’m doing an internship with a company called Project:Continue reading “My New Job”
Eating Seasonally in Summer
It’s the next instalment of the seasonal series! At the beginning of each season, I will release a guide to eating in that season. Throughout that season, I’ll release seasonal recipes, usually a savoury, a sweet and some sort of beverage or snack. I will be sticking to fruits and vegetables, but I’ll link aContinue reading “Eating Seasonally in Summer”
Seasonal Pesto
It’s time for another seasonal recipe! This time, it’s homemade pesto. I love pesto, I could eat it every day (and I pretty much did when I was at uni). Fresh pesto is really tasty, particularly when it’s getting warmer outside! I like to use this pesto for hot pasta dishes, pasta salads and toContinue reading “Seasonal Pesto”
Rhubarb Crumble
The first seasonal recipe for spring is a rhubarb crumble! I love rhubarb, and it’s one of the only fruits that grows in the UK at this time of year that is relatively easy to get. It’s great for jams, chutneys and pies, but I chose a crumble because crumbles are super easy to makeContinue reading “Rhubarb Crumble”
Hummus Recipe
Hummus (or houmous, if you spell it like that) is one of my favourite foods. When I first went vegetarian, hummus was one of my go-to foods, especially for sandwiches. But, since looking at my dairy consumption, I discovered that some hummus has cream in it?! I also realised that each pot, which I wouldContinue reading “Hummus Recipe”
The Pill and the Environment
Recently, we’ve heard a lot about the Covid vaccine and potential risks of blood clots. In response, people have been talking about the blood clot risk related to the contraceptive pill and how this isn’t talked about very much. Something that is talked about even less than this is the environmental impact of the pill,Continue reading “The Pill and the Environment”
Homemade Bath Salts
This week, I tried out a few recipes for the first time, and here is the first one! My mum loves baths, and she’s very keen on bath salts. Whenever I’ve bought her bath salts, I’ve tried to buy plastic free, sustainable etc – but what could be more sustainable than making them myself? ItContinue reading “Homemade Bath Salts”
1 Year of Waste Makes Waste
Happy Birthday to this blog! Wow, I can’t believe that I’ve been writing stuff on here for an entire year, and what a year it has been. There’s no doubt that I wouldn’t have done as much on this blog if it wasn’t for the pandemic, because I had so much more time to spendContinue reading “1 Year of Waste Makes Waste”
Wait… What is Sustainability?
When I asked whether people wanted to see the kind of thing I’ve been studying at university, it was a huge yes! So, this week I wanted to talk about one of the topics that I’ve been covering this term – the idea of sustainability. The word ‘sustainable’ is something that we often see onContinue reading “Wait… What is Sustainability?”
