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

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

Naked without the oink bacon

Another day another bacon alternative! This stuff actually worked quite well. The taste wasn't perfect - you could tell it was a fake meat - but it did have a pretty satisfying crunch to it. I had this with a burger to make myself another posh burger, and it did add a nice extra texture … Continue reading Naked without the oink bacon

Itsu chilli miso noodle pot

Usually during the week I am very good with my healthy eating: We meal plan at the beginning of the week, only buy the ingredients for those meals, and prepare our lunches the night before. But with the weather in England now practically Arctic levels of cold and rainforest levels of rain, sometimes a pre-made … Continue reading Itsu chilli miso noodle pot

Vegan Halloumi

I think everyone can agree that one of the best cheeses out there is, quite simply, halloumi. I have yet to mention the word halloumi and not have every single person around me go 'mmmmmm halloumi' with that lustful hungry look on their face. Halloumi is great. The downside is that, obviously, halloumi is made … Continue reading Vegan Halloumi

Starbucks’ Pumpkin Cookie

Fall is my favourite season, and not only because it is pumpkin spice latte season! Now I am not at all a coffee drinker and I very rarely drink coffee, but these lattes are so sweet and warming that come fall I basically just turn into a pumpkin myself. This year Starbucks have also released … Continue reading Starbucks’ Pumpkin Cookie

WICKED Spicy mac pot

One of these days I will learn that me and WICKED do not get on. Which is a shame because some of their ready-made sandwiches are actually pretty nice...but I think they may the exception to the WICKED mantra. When this thing says it's a 'spicy smokey dreamy mac' what it really means is 'spicy … Continue reading WICKED Spicy mac pot
