Christmas has just jumped up on us hasn't it?! Usually you have all of November to prepare for Christmas and to ease into the festive spirit after Halloween, but as the UK spent all of November in lockdown, I emerged from my lockdown to endless Christmas tunes, Santa figures everywhere and far too much red … Continue reading How to have a sustainable Christmas

M&S Vegan truffles
This weekend was a rough one. Our washing machine decided to die on us and ended up spewing water all over our kitchen/living room area at about midnight on Saturday. luckily we were both still awake so caught it early but it meant we had to spend about 2 hours trying to mop up all … Continue reading M&S Vegan truffles
Daisy & Dam Ballers
FINALLY! Vegan malteasers! A lovely person at work gifted these to me as she found them at her local corner shop. These things are basically malteasers, but oddly enough are actually nicer than malteasers. These do not melt the same way that malteasers do, but they have such a satisfying crunch to them that I … Continue reading Daisy & Dam Ballers
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
Mental Health and lockdown
This is slightly different to what I usually talk about, but I feel it is important and needs to be addressed. Mental health, to me, is just as - if not more - important as physical health, and 2020 has been a year that has truly tested us collectively. From the threat of a global … Continue reading Mental Health and lockdown
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
GU Free From Strawberry Cheesecakes
So I have found that if you do your groceries later in the day - like just before closing - the stores usually have a huge collection of discounted food that is either to be trashed or be given a new home. I found these for £1!! It came in a pack of 2, and … Continue reading GU Free From Strawberry Cheesecakes
Vegan alternative to ‘Percy Pigs’
Aldi does it once again! VEGAN. PERCY. PIGS. Ok they are not actually percy pigs but these are the perfect alternative. Leo the Lion comes to the rescue! I also saw that they had other creature on offer (Ozzy the Ostrich or something like that?) so I will definitely be trying those as soon as … Continue reading Vegan alternative to ‘Percy Pigs’
