My Favourites from Last Week

Favourite Main Event: French Lentil Soup with Butternut Squash and Dino Kale from Amber @ The Tasty Alternative

A lovely warming meal-in-a-bowl soup!

Favourite Sensible Yet Scrumptious Snack: Barbeque Almonds from Rachel @ The Vegan Mishmash

These are a little sweet and a little salty and sound delicious! I bet they would be great eaten by the handful or on top of a salad!

Favourite Indulgence: Carrot and Apple Cake with Walnuts and Cranberries from The Fussiest Eater

This is my kind of cake! It it full of wholesome ingredients and not too sweet but filled with delicious flavours.  I made a similar cake at Christmas and loved it!
