Linda McCartney Fried Chicken Bucket

I am a big Linda McCartney fan. Almost all of my favourite meals include her vegan food in some way, so I am always very excited when I spot a new range from her. In the UK, lock down has pretty much ended, with pubs, restaurants and shops all reopening from the beginning of this … Continue reading Linda McCartney Fried Chicken Bucket

Can vegans use non-vegan products that they already own?

One of the big misconceptions that I have found with veganism is the idea that if you want to go vegan you have to do away with everything non-vegan that you own in your life. While this method may work with other lifestyles, such as minimalism or decluttering, I have found this way of thinking … Continue reading Can vegans use non-vegan products that they already own?

One Pot Vegan Mac and Cheese

With the weather now getting colder once more (goodbye English Summertime!) I have been in need of a good comfort meal. Thankfully, mac and cheese is one of the easiest meals to veganise and is peak comfort food in my books!

Plant Kitchen chorizo puppies

Restrictions in the UK are now starting to ease, I decided to venture out into the normal world and go to M&S.

Style Expertise heat protecting spray

I have very thick, very curly hair. However I use the term curly loosely because it actually just means (for me anyway) super duper frizzy wavy hair. Think Hermione Granger in the philosopher's stone, except as I have aged my hair has gotten even bigger. Over the years I have found that my hair is … Continue reading Style Expertise heat protecting spray

Tesco are really hitting the mark with their Plant Chef range! Following on from my previous tests of the sweet potato and coconut soup, I decided to give the basic tomato soup a try. In my experience almost all plain tomato soups either contain milk (thanks Heinz!) and the vegan alternatives always end up adding … Continue reading Plant Chef Tomato and Basil soup

Happy Earth Day!

In honour of today, and in honour of this gorgeous earth that we live on, step away from the computer and go outside. If you are in lock down, go for a little walk outside, or just sit by an open window (preferably one which gets some sunshine) and take a look at the sky...it … Continue reading Happy Earth Day!

Plant Chef sweet potato and coconut soup

Tesco are really killing it lately with their Plant Chef range. During this whole lock down process, their Plant Chef range also includes tinned soups that last a decent amount of time and are also really affordable. The warmer days are definitely here in England too, so if you're like me and can't stand the … Continue reading Plant Chef sweet potato and coconut soup

Nakd Bar: Blueberry muffin

Following on from my last post about the Nakd bars (here if you fancied a looksie!) I ma now slowly making my way through the other options available. This one is the blueberry muffin bar. Personally, this is my favourite. It has a subtle taste of blueberries but is mostly made out of dates and … Continue reading Nakd Bar: Blueberry muffin

Baking her own bread

With isolation comes a whole new range of issues that I have not previously thought about. With the shops near me being opened for fewer hours and very busy, my partner and I decided to try and bake our own bread. We used to spend our nights after work saying how we wish we could … Continue reading Baking her own bread
