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”

Eating Seasonally in Spring
It’s the start of the seasonal series! I wish I’d thought of this at the start of the year, but here we go. 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 ofContinue reading “Eating Seasonally in Spring”
Do Individual Actions Make a Difference to Climate Change?
One of the questions I get asked the most is whether small things like eating less meat, using a bamboo toothbrush or composting your veg scraps make any real difference in the grand scheme of things. This is a really difficult question to answer, so I thought I’d talk about both sides of the argument.Continue reading “Do Individual Actions Make a Difference to Climate Change?”
Earth Day
Thursday the 22nd of April is Earth Day each year, but what is it? What does it mean? And where has it come from? If you’re from the UK, you may not have heard of Earth Day in the same way, because it started in America. It is now a global event which includes overContinue reading “Earth Day”
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”
Tomato Soup Recipe
In the UK, spring isn’t generally that warm. I know I’m still wrapped up in jumpers, and so I love a comforting but fresh soup to have for lunches. My favourite soup is a classic Heinz tomato, but this isn’t vegan and can feel a little artificial. So, I decided to make my own. It’sContinue reading “Tomato Soup 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 Nutella
Nutella is one of my favourite foods. I love pairing it with peanut butter and apple slices as a pudding or a snack, which is basically what I would have most afternoons when I came home from school (when I was still in school). But then, I found out that ferrero who make nutella didn’tContinue reading “Homemade Nutella”
Eco Burnout and Eco Anxiety
I love my masters degree, I love my blog and I love talking about the planet, but sometimes I feel exhausted and sad about it. Anyone else? I’d imagine, pretty much everyone. This is basically a form of burnout, just climate specific burn out. Burnout is ‘the feeling of being exhausted due to excessive andContinue reading “Eco Burnout and Eco Anxiety”
Homemade Peanut Butter
One of my newest favourite foods, peanut butter is so delicious. But, it virtually always has palm oil (sometimes sustainable) in the ingredients list, and every time I buy it I acquire a new jar (which we all know I don’t need). So, I decided to try making my own. Now, I like chunky peanutContinue reading “Homemade Peanut Butter”
