Baked bean sandwich filling cheese toastie
I love gimmicks. I saw this Princes Baked Bean Sandwich Filling on the shelf in Sainsbury’s and as it was only 39p – despite The Meat Eater’s protestations – thought I’d give it a go. It’s made of baked beans (you’d guessed that though, hadn’t you?), red peppers and redContinue Reading
VegfestUK
My usual kind of festival involves sitting in a field in the sunshine, drinking lager out of a paper cup and listening to some great bands. There is an all day bar and live music at the London VegFest but as you can see from the poster, there’s so muchContinue Reading
Linda McCartney Vegetarian Burgers with a Peppered Mushroom Melt
I seem to have become a bit of a Linda McCartney fan-girl recently and now I’ve tried the Linda McCartney Vegetarian Burgers with a Peppered Mushroom Melt, I reckon they’ll be popped into the shopping basket each week along with the Fish Free Scampi. The Meat Eater wanted his burgerContinue Reading
Butter bean, tomato and artichoke soup
Okay, so you’ve got a slow cooker recipe you really want to try out, but it says it’s going to take 6-10 hours. Assuming you want your lunch at around 1pm, and we choose the in between time of eight hours, this means that you’ll have to start it offContinue Reading
Madhur Jaffrey’s Easy Vegetarian Mulligatawny Soup
We were playing Guess the Soup last week on Twitter. Heidi made us guess mulligatawny and although I came up with the winning guess, I said I didn’t think I’d ever had mulligatawny. Heidi said I must make it, it’s delicious, so I said okay then, I’ll give it aContinue Reading
BEAR Fact of the Week
I mentioned the other day that BEAR Yo Yos come with a card containing cool facts. I also mentioned that a card had told me that the African python can swallow a whole antelope in one go. Didn’t believe me? Here’s the proof. I’ve got a few packets of YoContinue Reading
Roasted vegetable slice with mozzarella
Hey look, I made something else that’s reminiscent of a pizza. I had a packet of puff pastry to use up (actually, it was two days out of date but I appear to still be alive), so I made a quick trip to the farm shop for a leek andContinue Reading
BEAR Yo Yos
Not only are BEAR Yo Yos delicious, made of 100% fruit, one of your 5 a day, they’re also fun. When was the last time you opened a packet and found a card with a fact like this: I’m guessing ladybirds feel threatened most of the time, so next timeContinue Reading
Slow cooked spicy spaghetti with garlic mushrooms
There’s something not quite right about preparing dinner at 11am but there’s a reason slow cookers are called slow. This meant I was chopping onions and mushrooms in the morning before going to university, so dinner would be sort of ready when I got back. All I had to doContinue Reading
Mushroom and halloumi pancake
Twitter was all of aflutter about Pancake Day today and I didn’t want to be left out. Knowing The Meat Eater doesn’t like pancakes, I texted him and asked if he wanted to share half a big pancake, or make his own dinner. This was my subtle way of remindingContinue Reading
