Naked without the oink bacon

Another day another bacon alternative! This stuff actually worked quite well. The taste wasn't perfect - you could tell it was a fake meat - but it did have a pretty satisfying crunch to it. I had this with a burger to make myself another posh burger, and it did add a nice extra texture … Continue reading Naked without the oink bacon

Itsu chilli miso noodle pot

Usually during the week I am very good with my healthy eating: We meal plan at the beginning of the week, only buy the ingredients for those meals, and prepare our lunches the night before. But with the weather in England now practically Arctic levels of cold and rainforest levels of rain, sometimes a pre-made … Continue reading Itsu chilli miso noodle pot

Vegan Halloumi

I think everyone can agree that one of the best cheeses out there is, quite simply, halloumi. I have yet to mention the word halloumi and not have every single person around me go 'mmmmmm halloumi' with that lustful hungry look on their face. Halloumi is great. The downside is that, obviously, halloumi is made … Continue reading Vegan Halloumi

Aldi vegan sweets

Following on from my find of the Leo the Lion sweets from Aldi, I managed to pick up the other two options! Everyone, meet Walter and Wendy Worm... These taste exactly like Haribo sweets. I always found that most vegan gummy sweets were never overly 'gummy'...they were more like wine gums than jelly babies texture … Continue reading Aldi vegan sweets

Starbucks’ Pumpkin Cookie

Fall is my favourite season, and not only because it is pumpkin spice latte season! Now I am not at all a coffee drinker and I very rarely drink coffee, but these lattes are so sweet and warming that come fall I basically just turn into a pumpkin myself. This year Starbucks have also released … Continue reading Starbucks’ Pumpkin Cookie

WICKED Spicy mac pot

One of these days I will learn that me and WICKED do not get on. Which is a shame because some of their ready-made sandwiches are actually pretty nice...but I think they may the exception to the WICKED mantra. When this thing says it's a 'spicy smokey dreamy mac' what it really means is 'spicy … Continue reading WICKED Spicy mac pot

GU Free From Strawberry Cheesecakes

So I have found that if you do your groceries later in the day - like just before closing - the stores usually have a huge collection of discounted food that is either to be trashed or be given a new home. I found these for £1!! It came in a pack of 2, and … Continue reading GU Free From Strawberry Cheesecakes

Aldi vegan cookies

I finally managed to grab a load of these cookies! I have been on the hunt for these since the Aldi near me opened and finally found a packet. They were also the last pack, so I guess all of the good reviews of them must be true. These things are so good! They are … Continue reading Aldi vegan cookies

Vegan alternative to ‘Percy Pigs’

Aldi does it once again! VEGAN. PERCY. PIGS. Ok they are not actually percy pigs but these are the perfect alternative. Leo the Lion comes to the rescue! I also saw that they had other creature on offer (Ozzy the Ostrich or something like that?) so I will definitely be trying those as soon as … Continue reading Vegan alternative to ‘Percy Pigs’

Plant Menu BBQ Jackfruit Pizza

I am very impressed with Aldi! Their vegan range is huge and it is so affordable. Now think the majority of my shopping will be from there for most of my vegan goodies! I saw this pizza in the freezer section and thought it was a potential replicate of the Chicago Town pizza from before. … Continue reading Plant Menu BBQ Jackfruit Pizza
