Focus on the positive in a negative situation and it will feel like you’re winning 🙏🏼🥰 There is a lot that is outside of our control at the moment. But we choose how we feel every single day.

Say what you see 👀🍫 Thick, creamy, chocolate mousse. But aside from that we actually joined in an online “pub” quiz (well we actually hijacked my brother and his friends quiz) and it was so fun. My favourite round was the “Say what you see” maybe because my work is so visual… I think it goes to show how inventive people are becoming now we are socially isolated 🙌🏻 . Like I mentioned yesterday, this month’s theme is all about isolation and that we are not alone in all this apparent disconnect. We are in fact all connected by our experiences. How do you stay connected? 🔗 . Have you got a FaceTime or group call booked in? Are you signed up to an online workout? It’s important to reach out - don’t be afraid to be the first one to suggest a call, too. We are all here together ✨ . Now, say what you see 👀 .

I S O L A T I O N ✨🥰 Does not mean that you are alone. I spent a long time thinking what the focus of my April Monthly Musings should be. There is almost too much going on right now to choose from. I wanted to spread a message of positivity - but a generic “positivity” post seemed a bit a vague… ☺️ So I decided on message of solidarity, friendship, kinship and community. Despite the disconnect in our lives, we are as connected as ever. The whole world, every single person is being affected. We all in this together. . I would love to hear your thoughts on my latest blog post - link is in my bio 🙌🏻 . And here is a little tasty teaser for a simple snack coming soon. These were going to be part of my cooking demo at @balance_festival but they will be retuning! .

Banana bread of the month time 🍌🥳 Enough said! It feels like every other post I see right now is banana bread and I suppose that’s because they are comforting, delicious and oh-so-versatile, too! This year, I set myself a Banana Bread Challenge - a new flavoured banana bread each month and, despite my best intentions, I am cutting it very fine to post this one… 🌟 But it may just become my new favourite! I’ve stripped back the ingredient list so you only need 6 ingredients and 45/50 minutes of time. It is simple, wholesome, light and fluffy with lots of orange flavour and a sticky orange glaze . Sticky Orange Banana Bread 👆🏻 The full recipe is on my website, link in bio 🍊🍌🍰 Here’s what you’ll need: ⭐︎ripe bananas ⭐︎sunflower/olive oil ⭐︎coconut or caster sugar (I use @coconutmerchant ) ⭐︎oranges ⭐︎self-raising flour (or plain) ⭐︎baking powder ⭐︎optional glaze: icing sugar, orange zest, water . That’s it! We have been devouring this cake recently - it’s especially great smothered with nut butter and granola! * * * #nourishingamy #vegan #bananabread #orangecake #banana #vegancake #vegandonuts #easybaking #veganbrunch #foodporn #veganrecipes #intuitiveeating #morningslikethese #vegansofig #veganfoodie #plantbased #veganfoodporn #veganeats #veganfoodspot #healthyfoodshare #feedfeedvegan #bestofvegan #glutenfreevegan #f52grams #glutenfree #makesmewhole #tasty #easyvegan

Using up fridge leftovers and store cupboard ingredients 🙏🏼🌿 There has never been more focus than using up what we have and making the most of simple, wholesome ingredients than right now. I want to make my recipes as accessible to as many people as I can. .
