Wow, is it really almost four years since I did Jason Vale’s 3 Day Detox? (If you want to read my posts from then, here’s day 1, day 2, day 3 and the conclusion.) Although after doing the challenge (I prefer the word ‘challenge’ to ‘detox’), I had said IContinue Reading
I said recently on Facebook that I seemed to be amassing a collection of gluten-free biscuits and, as I’m not a coeliac, I don’t need gluten-free biscuits and why couldn’t I be sent Chocolate Hob Nobs instead? Unfortunately, no Chocolate Hob Nobs were forthcoming (yeah, okay, I could have goneContinue Reading
Because I usually only have a smoothie for breakfast, I’m usually hungry again by about 11am which is too early for lunch but near enough lunchtime to not want anything too substantial. 9bar have just launched their range of breakfast bars which are ideal for that hungry-but-it’s-too-early-for lunch dilemma. TheyContinue Reading
When I bought the Jus-Rol Puff Pastry last weekend, I also picked up a pack of Jus-Rol Pain au Chocolat. I hadn’t made them until now as, for some reason, I didn’t know you had to assemble them yourself. I have no idea how I thought Jus-Rol fitted 6 pastriesContinue Reading
I always seem to want to cook something on a Sunday and today was no exception. Today I fancied something involving raw chocolate and found a raw vegan brownie recipe. These raw vegan brownies are delicious. They only take a few minutes to make too – it took far longerContinue Reading

Teapigs Organic Matcha could never be accused of being humble. Amongst its claims, it says one serving contains: 137 times the antioxidants of green tea; 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice; and 9 times the beta carotene of spinach, which, considering one serving is a titchy half a teaspoonContinue Reading
Okay, I slipped up with the lip balm thing again. And the hot chocolate thing. I am officially rubbish at Vegan Monday. Still, breakfast (fruit), lunch (leek and potato soup) and dinner (leftover aubergine and lentil curry from last week) were all vegan. As were the snacks – I hadContinue Reading
Like Sooty without Sweep, and Sue without Mel, Orgran’s gluten free spaghetti in tomato sauce was okay, but there was something missing. I’m not sure what the something was (and it wasn’t a gormless squeaky thing either and yes, I know that’s not a nice way to describe Mel Giedroyc),Continue Reading
I forgot to mention these on yesterday’s Vegan Monday post. I’d been wondering what to have as a snack if I wanted one, as I’d run out of all the vegan sweets I’d bought at VegFest and hadn’t made any peanut butter bars. Then I remembered I’d been sent aContinue Reading
