Lauduree vegan hazelnut macaron

I LOVE macarons. I have never regretted moving to a vegan lifestyle, but if there was one thing I missed most it would have to be macarons. The French kind. Especially when they are super soft and cakey in the middle but have that hard and crispy outer layer. Laduree is a French company that … Continue reading Lauduree vegan hazelnut macaron

Doughnut Time D’oh Nut

When you think of a doughnut, you think about Homer Simpson. And no doubt you drool in the same way that he does for doughnuts. I know I do...especially when it comes to Doughnut Time doughnuts. I have tried the majority of the doughnuts that they have on offer and I stand by the opinion … Continue reading Doughnut Time D’oh Nut

Quick and easy pizza recipe

The best thing about winter is the comfort food. Here in England, while it is technically considered spring now, it is still freezing cold and we are currently getting weather warnings for snow and sleet in the coming weeks. So I don't think we are out of winter just yet. Which means it is still … Continue reading Quick and easy pizza recipe

Baxters jackfruit and 3 bean soup

It is at that funny time of year here in England where the weather cannot decide if it will be warm or cold.

I am sure there is some sort of debate to be had about the effects of … Continue reading Baxters jackfruit and 3 bean soup

Squeaky Beam pastrami

As promised, I am slowly making my way through the entire Squeaky Bean product line. So far, they have been consistently good. Their products are now becoming a stable part of our weekly food shop as their 'deli meats' are great for sandwiches during the week. Of course, the macros of the products are some … Continue reading Squeaky Beam pastrami

Now I will preface this by saying that I am a very nervous pet parent - I think after … Continue reading Should you keep your cat indoors?

Gregg’s Southern Fried Chicken baguette

Just before Christmas it appeared that Gregg's had removed their ham and cheese melt baguette for reasons that I still have not been able to work out. I, personally, really loved being able to buy just a basic ham and cheese sandwich from a shop on the high street that was tasty and affordable. Not … Continue reading Gregg’s Southern Fried Chicken baguette

Champneys awaken body cleanser

One of the worst misconceptions about veganism is that there is no such thing as vegan luxury. Yes you can get very high quality goods - both food and beauty wise - but the large name luxury brands very rarely offer anything that is vegan friendly. Or they do, but it is so extortionately priced … Continue reading Champneys awaken body cleanser

Squeaky Bean steak pieces

Following on from my previous Squeaky Bean review, I am now slowly working my way through their entire product range. It seems all of their products are very high in protein, so this works wonderfully for myself who is trying to improve my macro intake to improve my performance at the gym. I was very … Continue reading Squeaky Bean steak pieces

As mentioned before I am currently working on achieving a number of my fitness goals. One big component of that is eating my macros, and at the stage I am at I am actually having to increase my protein intake so I can build that lean muscle. I am therefore constantly on the lookout for … Continue reading Vivera plant drumsticks
