After all the interest in my giveaway of Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar (see blog post below: hello all you freeloaders from the Money Saving Expert forums), I thought I’d make something out of it and having all the ingredients for the peanut butter blondies in the cupboard negatedContinue Reading
I don’t make a lot of cakes or cookies or things. This is obviously because I’m a finely tuned athlete. Ok, it’s because if I did make cakes or cookies or things, I’d eat the whole lot in one sitting like the fat pig bloater I really am. But, ifContinue Reading
Last week I was ill. Not very ill, but ill enough that I wouldn’t have gone to work, had I a job to go to in the first place. So, because I was ill, I should have been eating healthy meals but because I was ill, I couldn’t be botheredContinue Reading
I don’t make a lot of bars or cakes or flapjacks or things like that, but as I was flicking through my new Easy Vegan cookbook, I came across these peanut butter bars and thought I’d give them a go. The book doesn’t contain any nutritional advice, but I wouldContinue Reading
I love buying new vegetarian cookery books and recently I bought The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook. It’s big and heavy and glossy and each recipe is accompanied by a big colour photograph.

Mmm, my first post-detox dinner. I had some spinach, broccoli and chili to use up, so I went to the supermarket and bought some marinated tofu, mushrooms, spring onions, beansprouts and hoisin sauce (oops, processed food, naughty) and managed NOT to buy any wine and went home and heated aContinue Reading
I get up really late. This could be because a) I went to bed late; b) my body’s taking subconscious advantage of the fact that it’s the first time in five months I haven’t had to get up to go to work; c) girls’ things; or d) all of theContinue Reading
As my diet lately has consisted mostly of pizza, alcohol, crisps and chocolate, I thought I’d take drastic measures and go on Jason Vale’s 7lbs in 7 Days Super Juice Diet. I read the book in one sitting, ordered a juicer and a blender and then decided 7 days wasContinue Reading
