Plant kitchen dirty fries

My my these are indeed dirty... These are chips, covered in tomato sauce, vegan bechamel sauce and a ton of cheese poured over it. They are the ultimate side dish. Be warned though these things come out of the oven like molten lava so best to leave it sit for a while so it cools … Continue reading Plant kitchen dirty fries

Vegan Kopperberg

In 2020 my partner and I ended up giving up alcohol. We were not massive drinkers to begin with (at least not since we left uni about 5 years ago!) and we have never been the type of people who enjoy drinking a glass of wine in the evenings and really only drank at social … Continue reading Vegan Kopperberg

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

Kokoro vegan sushi

This is a new place that opened up in my town earlier this year. Due to the constant lockdowns around me I also haven't been able to check this place out. But with Christmas over, I finally took the chance! Upon research, Kokoro is a chain store, but this is the first time I have … Continue reading Kokoro vegan sushi

Dealing with the loss of a pet

On Christmas Eve, our Pippin finally crossed over the rainbow to be with his brother Merry. We had noticed him slowing down for a few days - not as energetic and a bit unsteady on his feet - and when we woke on Christmas Eve he was in his final moments. As with most pets, … Continue reading Dealing with the loss of a pet

Merry Christmas!

A slightly earlier post than normal, but as it is Christmas tomorrow I intend to spend all day tomorrow in my Pjs, watching Christmas movies and eating my body weight in food. This year has been a manic one and I know I am not alone in feeling like this madness is unlikely to end … Continue reading Merry Christmas!

Vegenaise

An early Christmas present from a family friend. I have tried a few other types before but always found it to be...odd. I have heard wonderful things about this stuff online though and throughout the vegan community, but have never been able to find any at my local shops. It always appears to be sold … Continue reading Vegenaise
