Squeaky Bean falafel

I tried so hard to choose a healthy snack and....it just did not work. I have never gotten on well with falafel. No matter how hard I try it is always so dry and tasteless for me. I have only ever had one good falafel and that was at a turkish restaurant in my town … Continue reading Squeaky Bean falafel

Tesco Free From Strawberry Cheesecakes

I haven't seen these before in my shop, co cannot confirm if they are a 'new' item. But I am counting them as new to me!

Subway Double chocolate cookie

Today marks my first day back at work after the Christmas break. It is always rough. Over Christmas and New Years the days all meld into one and time becomes a meaningless social construct once more, before I am quite rudely thrown back into the 9-5 pattern. In all honesty I actually prefer the routine … Continue reading Subway Double chocolate cookie

Subway’s T.L.C sub

As you can see I really showed some restraint when it came to Subway... Starting off Veganuary on a high because this sub way amazing! The 'chicken' is so close to real chicken. It is a little bit rubbery, but when in a sandwich you really do not notice it at all. It is also … Continue reading Subway’s T.L.C sub
