Chickpea, Pumpkin and Couscous Salad

Are you looking for a fun, festive, tasty plant-based salad for the holidays this year? Well, look no further!

This Moroccan-inspired dish is great as a side or a filling main. It’s got a solid amount of protein in it too, and you can serve it hot or cold.

Homemade Toothpaste

Welcome to Caitlin Gives Her Opinion on Stuff!
Tonight’s review – home made toothpaste!

As you may know, I have been trying to not do the plastic thing, and to do the natural stuff thing. Conveniently, I ran out of my tube (nasty, plastic tube) of toothpaste about a month and a half ago and took this fabulous opportunity to try out a fun new recipe – Toothpaste!

This one is the one from the wonderful Lauren from Trash is for Tossers –

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp baking soda

10 drops peppermint essence

1/4 tsp Stevia (optional)

Smoosh it together and store in a jar.

To use scoop a pea sized amount onto your toothbrush and brush as normal.

I’ve been using this recipe for over a month now and my teeth feel fabulous. I highly recommend trying out some of these recipes! The saltiness is something to get used to, so my next batch will include a bit of stevia (a sweetener that is apparently good for teeth).

Healthy Comfort Food (yes, really)

Helloooo interwebs!

Its exam time, which sucks, and I have been living on thai chickpea curry. It takes no time to make and is all full of brain food stuff and stuff. Its also vegan, gluten, dairy, soy free and paleo (as long as you get the right curry paste).
