I've been vegan for almost a year now and it's always so surprising that people think I must miss out on all the good stuff, like cake. I don't! I just make it a little differently, and a lot of the time the recipes are even tastier than the non-vegan version I used to make. I Just Love It sent us a personalised baking kit so we could get busy in the kitchen creating a festive recipe. You can't beat a good brownie and these ones are super gooey, really chocolatey and have a hint of peppermint which makes them just perfect for Christmas!

I've been vegan for a few months now, but it's taking me some time to get my head around vegan cake making. A lot of recipes I've found use ingredients that I can't have, like almonds, or ingredients that are hard to find, like egg replacers. Then I found out about bare cupboard cakes, and those kind of recipes totally work for making delicious vegan cupcakes. Hurrah! It's also a good recipe for people with dairy or egg allergies. We made these cupcakes for celebrating the Queen's 90th birthday but you could make them for any special occasion. They only take 20 minutes to bake, and I bet you already have all the ingredients you need!

After deciding to go vegan at the start of the year, I've been trying out so many delicious new recipes and meal ideas. Mostly though, I just cook the same stuff as we always had and just adapt the recipe slightly. For example, soya products work just as well as dairy when a recipe calls for cream, milk or yogurt, and soya yogurt is what I use for the sauce in this recipe for Rainbow Loaded Baked Sweet Potatoes which I adapted from a Jamie Oliver recipe. You could use dairy yogurt if you like though.

For Valentine's Day Expedia invited me to take part in their World On A Plate 'Love' Campaign, and asked me to cook up a meal idea based on one of their European holiday destinations. I chose France as my romantic destination inspiration, they are home to the language of love after all! Expedia sent me a hamper of goodies and a voucher to get me started, and I got thinking back to the things I used to love eating when I holidayed in the south of France.

I don’t know about you but during the winter months I really struggle to drink enough water. The temptation of warming up with a hot cup of tea or coffee is far more appealing than the thought of swigging a cold glass of water. During winter dehydration can cause dry skin, chapped lips, tiredness, headaches and coughs so it’s really important to make sure you get enough H2O.

Robinsons have created a selection of seasonal recipes using their range of eleven delicious real fruit squash flavours to inspire us all to drink more water this winter, and my family and I have been trying them out. Here are my two favourite recipes to keep you hydrated AND warm through the colder season, with no added sugar! Yum!
