Hooray, it appears I made it successfully through a Vegan Monday for a change. No lip balm or hot chocolate slip-ups this time. I had fruit for breakfast, mulligatawny soup for lunch and a vegan chocolate peanut butter bar as a snack along with my vegan hot chocolate. And alsoContinue Reading
I’m still experimenting with the peanut butter bars. It’s so easy to just add whatever you’ve got available and you can’t go wrong really. Today, I had a flash of inspiration and added 50g Seeds of Love and some Choc Shot. Delicious. I’m not sure where you can buy SeedsContinue 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
After my confession on Sunday about using non-vegan stock for my soup, I thought surely I’ve got it sussed now – there can’t be any more hidden dangers can there? Then, while I was applying lip balm for what was probably the seventeenth time on Monday, it occurred to meContinue Reading

I woke up yesterday morning and decided that, from now on, Mondays would be vegan days. First things first though, and I went downstairs to check if my hot chocolate was vegan. It wasn’t, dammit! But, aha! I had a tub of cocoa in the cupboard, which is vegan. Okay,Continue Reading
Just look at the colour of this soup – a gorgeous aubergine colour. It pleases my inner goth, that’s for sure. It doesn’t actually have any aubergine in it though – it’s primary ingredient is red cabbage, along with a tin of cannellini beans. Seasonal, quick, easy and gothic –Continue Reading
I’ve mentioned before, I’m always a bit dubious about vegan cheese. But, I’m always willing to try a new one so gave Violife a go. Violife comes in ten flavours, including original, tomato & basil, mushroom, olive, hot peppers and pizza flavour. I had a couple of slices of theContinue Reading
My life over the last few weeks, while not exactly jet set, has certainly been a bit train set with me up and down the country from Kent to Salisbury and London and Dorking and Ipswich and so I haven’t been in the kitchen much making healthy meals. Whether I’veContinue Reading
