It was 1992 when I first became vegetarian. In the beginning, I shied away from the ‘meaty’ vegetarian burgers as I was one of those people who thought ‘if you’re vegetarian, why eat something that’s pretending to be meat?’ So, before I learnt to cook, I bought vegetable burgers thatContinue Reading
Dalepak’s Cheese & Onion Crispbakes are a combination of potato, onion, Red Leicester cheese and medium fat soft cheese, lightly seasoned and coated in a crisp golden breadcrumb. After trying the Dalepak Mushroom Crispbakes last week, I was worried these would be too soft for my taste and although, yes,Continue Reading
I had a long(ish) run to do on Saturday morning, so that was as good an excuse as any to have spaghetti the night before. Unfortunately, The Meat Eater didn’t look at his phone and get my ‘can you get some spaghetti when you go to Tesco please’ text, soContinue Reading
Dalepak sent me a huge hamper full of frozen food, so I’ll be posting quite a bit about Dalepak in the coming weeks. First up, I tried their Mushroom Crispbakes with White Wine and Cheddar Sauce Centre, which I served with chips and baked beans. They’re a decent size, theContinue Reading
As scrumptious as sandwiches are, I fall asleep after eating one for lunch – plus, doesn’t bread contain about a billion calories or something? But Warburtons Sandwich Thins are – unsurprisingly – thin, only contain 100 calories and perfect for a lighter lunch. The thins are cute (as much asContinue Reading
I’m not dairy- or gluten-intolerant, but I would imagine if you were both and vegetarian, it’d be hard to find a cookbook that caters for you. In that case, you’ll be interested in Wendy Horne’s No Meat, No Dairy, No Gluten: Just Flavour and Goodness (please note dairy-free doesn’t meanContinue Reading
I don’t usually have breakfast (I know… I know… most important meal of the day and that…). I do sometimes have a fruit smoothie but that doesn’t provide me with enough energy to get me through a workout, so as this morning I was going to the gym to doContinue Reading
I must be honest, I didn’t think orange yoghurt was going to be nice but now I’m regretting leaving it in the fridge for so long as I won’t be able to finish it by the use-by date, damn! This was a flipping amazingly nice yoghurt. It’s not sour likeContinue Reading
I got sent a few packs of Lord Poppington’s Perfectly Popped Popcorn to try. I say a few, I mean twelve. So far, I’ve tried the Four Cheese flavour which weren’t cheesy enough for me but then again, they’re not going to be as strongly flavoured as crisps, are they?Continue Reading
Remember those small, shrink-wrapped pizzas you used to (or still can for all I know) get in the supermarket? Those nasty, cheap things you put under the grill for about 5 minutes and ended up with some burnt cheese on top and a frozen base? That’s kind of what IContinue Reading
