Back in January, I made a vegan chocolate mousse. I kept meaning to make it again because a) it’s delicious; and b) seriously quick and easy to make. But, like most things, I didn’t get round to it. Until today, that is. After being inspired by Choclette’s banana andContinue Reading
Another thick and creamy soup using cashews and soya milk – this time, the always popular leek and potato. I don’t know what it is, but my leek and potato soup never comes out as nice as the ones in the tins, but it’s probably the cream and additives andContinue Reading
The worst cheese and onion pasty I ever had came from Asda. I’ll never forget it. I can’t remember where I’d been that night but I’d been out and decided to pick something up from Asda to eat when I got home. I went to the pasty section, saw oneContinue Reading

I mentioned last week my energy levels had slumped, so I googled to see which foods were good for energy. Among those mentioned were: Sweet potatoes Sweet potatoes contain Vitamin D and, as we all know, at this time of year when summer’s coming to an end and there’s aContinue Reading
I’d had rather an unhealthy lunch of a toasted tofu, Violife cheese, onion, sundried tomato, cucumber, srirarcha and salad cream sandwich which, thinking about it, probably isn’t that unhealthy but it was so gooey and delicious, at the time it seemed like the junkiest junk food ever.
