Plant Menu chicken burgers

Aldi is seriously killing it with the vegan food selection! I think I may have worked out how to really improve my burger eating experience. 2 words: Brioche. Buns. It has been a while since I have had brioche anything, so I was very excited to find these in Aldi. They are exactly what they … Continue reading Plant Menu chicken burgers →

Basic cauliflower steak

I have heard many a vegan rave about cauliflower steak and we finally decided to give it a try! Having never had it before, we kept it super basic and I have to say even the basic version was very yummy. Method Cut your cauliflower into 'steaks' - i.e cut it in half and then … Continue reading Basic cauliflower steak →

The Meatless Farm Company Mince

So this stuff is quite spooky - it behaves exactly like mince would. It comes in a packet (obviously) and the tendrils can actually be pulled apart. It also breaks up really nicely and lets you have chunks as big as you please. It fries up nicely, and has quite a chewy texture when it's … Continue reading The Meatless Farm Company Mince →

Papa John’s Mince Pie scrolls

I love Christmas time, because everyone starts selling mince pies. And everyone knows that mince pies are the best part of Christmas! And even Papa John's is back on the mince pie hype. These are basically the same as the cinnamon scrolls, but with mince pie filling instead. They are...ok. Downside with them is that … Continue reading Papa John’s Mince Pie scrolls →

Mental Health and lockdown

This is slightly different to what I usually talk about, but I feel it is important and needs to be addressed. Mental health, to me, is just as - if not more - important as physical health, and 2020 has been a year that has truly tested us collectively. From the threat of a global … Continue reading Mental Health and lockdown →

Gregg’s Mince Pie

So this past weekend I have been curled up in bed with a horrific cold. Needless to say my appetite has not been great, as I have spent the whole time dosed up on cold meds and sleeping for 18 hours a day. Yet when I am sick (which if I'm being honest is actually … Continue reading Gregg’s Mince Pie →

Free from chocolate sunday

A new find! And it is also a new addition to the free from range at Tesco. This is very nice. It is, for the most part, all mousse. Which is not necessarily a bad thing because it is very light and fluffy and dreamy mousse. Also very chocolatey so be prepared for a bit … Continue reading Free from chocolate sunday →

Umberto Giannini curl jelly collection

I have very curly hair and up until this year I have been pretty cruel to my hair. I - like most teenage girls I'm sure - spent the majority of my teens straightening my hair. My hair was never really 'pretty curly'...it never really had curly shapes to it and when I did brush … Continue reading Umberto Giannini curl jelly collection →
