This Coconut Curry Lentil Soup was inspired by my Easy Lemon Lentil Soup and my Quick & Easy Indian Curry Quinoa recipes. So if you liked those recipes, you’ll want to try this one (and vice versa).

Gluten-Free Chocolate Banana Muffins
by Vegangela
I realized today that I had two very ripe bananas that I needed to use ASAP. With the price of bananas in Sydney hovering around $13/kilo at the moment, there’s no way that any banana in this house can go to waste. Being a temporary ex-pat, I have limited kitchen supplies. I don’t own a … Read more
