My very first experience of veganism was when I was told to eat lamb. I was probably about 8 or 9, and like most kids I was BIG into my animals. I had more animal encyclopedias than was probably healthy. Then for dinner my mom cooked lamb and I made that connection: a lamb was … Continue reading Vegan Butcher Mock Lamb

Slug and Lettuce chocolate orange tart
Another little treat from my Slug and Lettuce venture the other day. As I mentioned in my mac'n'cheeze post their vegan menu is pretty good and also just a bit more decadent than your usual pub food. Needless to say I was very excited to try this little baby! Now I don't know if it … Continue reading Slug and Lettuce chocolate orange tart
Vegan Kit Kat
I finally found the motherload!! I have heard that these were a thing but had never been lucky enough to find one. The only reason I even got this one is because one of my lovely work colleagues got lucky at her local Sainsbury's. Apparently you should be able to find them in m,ost supermarkets, … Continue reading Vegan Kit Kat
Slug and Lettuce vegan mac’n’cheeze
I have been meaning to go to a Slug and Lettuce for some time, but as the one nearby is the only one for quite some miles, it is always heaving with people. But I lucked out this week, as it seems with the bank holiday weekend, people have had their fill of bars and … Continue reading Slug and Lettuce vegan mac’n’cheeze
BOL spanish bean and Veg Paella
Another hectic week thanks to the British bank Holiday, so I had to grab myself a lunch in between client meetings. I am currently trying to focus on more whole food recipes, and to eat less processed goods, so I thought this BOL pot would be better for me than a Pot Noodle. I was … Continue reading BOL spanish bean and Veg Paella
Swizzels Puds sweets
I used to love Maoam sweets. Now of course they are not vegan friendly, so I have simply done without them over the years. At first I missed the candy, but there are so ,many candy options now I haven't really thought about them for some time. And then I saw this packet of Swizzels … Continue reading Swizzels Puds sweets
Gregg’s vegan sausage, beans and cheese bake
Gregg's coming in again with their vegan goodies! I honestly don't know how I would cope some days without Gregg's. Those days when work is super hectic, and your 'healthy' meal just doesn't feel like it will be enough to fuel you and you just want something greasy. Good ol' Gregg's coming in hard! I … Continue reading Gregg’s vegan sausage, beans and cheese bake
Little Moons mochi ice cream: mango and passionfruit
I have never had mochi before, but I have seen everyone online raving about how great these little ice cream mochi balls are. Now I know that mochi is usually made from rice, and is mixed with sugar, fruit or other sweet things to make little dessert balls. They are originally from Japan and in … Continue reading Little Moons mochi ice cream: mango and passionfruit
M&S Raspberry and almond butter bar
Healthy snacks (that isn't just plain fruit and/or veg) seem to be so hard to get right. Either they are full of sugar - so actually no good for you at all - or taste like nothing. I wonder if one day, someone somewhere will be able to make a good vegan snack bar. That … Continue reading M&S Raspberry and almond butter bar
Fuel 10k chunky chocolate protein granola
As with most healthy food, it seems that the only options are usually pretty disappointing. Granola is meant to be a great start for the day with slow released carbs to keep your energy levels up until lunch time. Downside is that most options contain honey, as without something sweet it is like chewing cardboard. … Continue reading Fuel 10k chunky chocolate protein granola
