Squeaky Beam kick of tikka chicken pieces

The past few months I have been trying to focus more on my health and fitness. I'm running more and actually getting some decent numbers when it comes to my weight lifting. But a massive part of the fitness journey comes from the diet. You can run ultramarathons every weekend but if you eat like … Continue reading Squeaky Beam kick of tikka chicken pieces

Krispy Kreme vegan original glaze

So until very recently (i.e the beginning of this year) you could only order the vegan original glazed doughnuts online and could only order them as a 12 pack. Now...as much as I could, would and wanted to order a 12 pack of vegan doughnuts to try them, I could not justify that. I am … Continue reading Krispy Kreme vegan original glaze

Honest Burgers vegan teriyaki burger

I hate to admit it but this year it seems the Veganuary offerings are lacking. I haven't actually seen many new options being advertised (at least not near where I live) and the few offers I have seen have been shockingly bad. Shout out in particular to Mcdonald's, who think that they can add a … Continue reading Honest Burgers vegan teriyaki burger

How to deal with unwanted vegan comments

While veganism has grown in popularity over the last few years, there is still a lot of ignorance around what veganism is and what it means to people. I have been vegan now for 8 years (and was vegetarian for 6 years before then) and unfortunately there are still people out there who think that … Continue reading How to deal with unwanted vegan comments

Doughnut Time Gordon Jamsey

What a better way to start my New Year than a trip to Doughnut Time. It is easy to say that their doughnuts are - without any doubt - the best doughnuts on the market right now. At this point I must have tried most of their options so I definitely have the experience behind … Continue reading Doughnut Time Gordon Jamsey

Veganuary 2023

Every year, January becomes Veganuary! You can find out more about the Veganuary challenge here. For me, Veganuary is a very exciting time. In the past few years I have seen the Veganuary movement explode every January. What originally started as a few new vegan products being offered in stores, is now entire lines of … Continue reading Veganuary 2023

Loma Tuno and mayo

There is something quite comforting about a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich and since going vegan I have been trying to find a good alternative to tuna. So far, my best has been my homemade chickpea and sweetcorn recipe which does a good job of replacing my tuna meals. I have to say though that there … Continue reading Loma Tuno and mayo

Buttermilk caramel nougat bar

Following on from the Love Raw bar, I have been on the lookout for more vegan dupes of favourite chocolate bars. I have tried Buttermilk products before and I have always found them to be a solid and consistent brand. Their chocolate has been tasty and reasonably priced, but it doesn't do anything spectacular. Again, … Continue reading Buttermilk caramel nougat bar

Love Raw Cream Wafer Bar

One of the key parts of veganism is finding ways to replace well loved non-vegan food items with a vegan friendly alternative. For many people (myself included for the most part) they give up animal products for the ethical reasons rather than because they don't enjoy the food. This can also be a reason why … Continue reading Love Raw Cream Wafer Bar

Doughnut Time: Piggy Smalls

I finally met my donut match...and by match I mean that it was far too much for me and I had no choice but to accept defeat. I have said it before but I say it again, Doughnut Time has some real treats. Every donut they make is an experience to eat and for me … Continue reading Doughnut Time: Piggy Smalls
