At this point I am fairly certain that I have eaten all of the Plant Kitchen items available from M&S. Although once lock-down is lifted, my hope is that a whole new range will come in that I may test out! Now I used to love duck spring rolls when I was younger and when … Continue reading Plant Kitchen No Duck Spring Rolls

The End of Camp NaNoWriMo
My end word total for my Camp NaNoWriMo project: 32,098 words My goal had been 30,000 but in hindsight I actually think I could have tried to push myself and tried a bigger target.

In my experience almost all plain tomato soups either contain milk (thanks Heinz!) and the vegan alternatives always end up adding … Continue reading Plant Chef Tomato and Basil soup

Blueberry Smoothie
Spring has finally sprung and with that blueberries are now in season here in the UK! I managed to pick up a huge pallet of them from my local shops for £2 and have perfected the blueberry smoothie. I have been using mostly frozen fruit for these too, as I find it makes it very … Continue reading Blueberry Smoothie
