Any Oxford recommendations?

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven't got around to visiting. I have recently (ok, 6 months ago) moved further away from the London area, and one of my closest cities is now Oxford. I have heard amazing things about Oxford, and I have done a lot of research on … Continue reading Any Oxford recommendations?

Buttermilk choc wafer bar

It seems there has been a bit of a hole in my life since the vegan kitkat has been discontinued. There are still great chocolate options out there, but sometimes there are itches that no amount of dairy-free chocolate can scratch. I still get a little grumpy when I walk through my local groceries and … Continue reading Buttermilk choc wafer bar

Papa John’s La Vie Hawaiian pizza

I am going to address this first because I know it is a sensitive subject. I will also say this once, and then not again in this post, and I will not be accepting comments about this: Hawaiian pizza is the best pizza and pineapple does belong on pizza. In my opinion. Now we have … Continue reading Papa John’s La Vie Hawaiian pizza

Even before I went vegan, I was never a big fan of cheese, so I will be very upfront with the fact that I don't really care for cheese. Cheddar is pretty much all I am … Continue reading Cathedral City cheddar cheese spread

Lidl Vemondo no chicken drumsticks

One of my favourite comfort foods were the drumsticks from Vivera, however I am very much convinced that these have been discontinued because I have not seen them in my shops for about a year at this point. They were just perfect for those days when I still wanted a high protein option but didn't … Continue reading Lidl Vemondo no chicken drumsticks
