Aldi is seriously killing it with the vegan food selection! I think I may have worked out how to really improve my burger eating experience. 2 words: Brioche. Buns. It has been a while since I have had brioche anything, so I was very excited to find these in Aldi. They are exactly what they … Continue reading Plant Menu chicken burgers

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
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
Umberto Giannini curl jelly collection
I have very curly hair and up until this year I have been pretty cruel to my hair. I - like most teenage girls I'm sure - spent the majority of my teens straightening my hair. My hair was never really 'pretty curly'...it never really had curly shapes to it and when I did brush … Continue reading Umberto Giannini curl jelly collection
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
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
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
CrepeAffaire: brownies and creme
My god these were sugary! I'm very impressed I didn't go into sugar shock after the second bite. CrepeAffaire are somewhat new to me, as I have only ever seen one store and that was in a local town near me. They do offer a pretty decent amount of vegan options though so really it … Continue reading CrepeAffaire: brownies and creme
