A few weeks ago NOMO chocolate sent me some of their chocolate bars to try and make something with. Firstly, they are incredible! Have you tried them yet babe? No?! They are easily the best vegan chocolate I've tried, they are creamy and tasty. Some vegan chocolates are not milky enough right? These are smooth … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: NOMO chocolate flapjacks

BREAKFAST: Christmas porridge
Yup, you read that title right... I've made a Christmassy porridge and it is good. The lovely humans over at The Primal Pantry got in touch to ask me if I'd like to create a porridge with some of their products so naturally I jumped at the chance. I'm already a fan of the bars … Continue reading BREAKFAST: Christmas porridge
MEAL: The Iceland paella
If you know me in real life (and maybe on insta), you'll almost definitely know that I am a self confessed food snob. You'll never see me buying ready meals, including soup, if I had more time in my day I'd only ever bake my own bread (I might need to get my bread machine … Continue reading MEAL: The Iceland paella
EATING OUT: Nando’s
I live in Glasgow and I am well and truly spoiled for vegan restaurants but you can’t always eat at a vegan place. I work in an office where I am the only vegan in the department so I’ve done a bit of research to make sure I know what I can eat in chain … Continue reading EATING OUT: Nando’s
SALAD: Summer cous cous
It's officially BBQ season, when I first decided to vegan it was in the middle of the winter and I didn't really think about my favourite season, summer. What comes hand in hand with summer? BBQs! I feel like BBQs are a British necessity, as soon as that sun comes out most of us rush … Continue reading SALAD: Summer cous cous

MEALS: 3 reasons to eat avocados
Are you even having a weekend if you aren’t eating avocado toast? Nah I don’t think so. I eat a lot of avocados, I once went through a phase of eating them on rice cakes with hot sauce for breakfast at work EVERYDAY. I regret nothing. Half an avocado is 1 of your 5 a … Continue reading MEALS: 3 reasons to eat avocados
THE VEGAN DIARIES: Fat Gay Vegan writes a book
A year ago I wrote a post about surviving Veganuary, my first tip was to surround yourself with vegans. This year I would still recommend that for anyone trying Veganuary, new vegans, struggling vegans or old timer vegans because it is good to feel like you're part of a community who are trying make a … Continue reading THE VEGAN DIARIES: Fat Gay Vegan writes a book
MEAL: Butternut squash mac ‘n’ cheese
I moved to Glasgow for work 8 and half years ago (where the hell did all of that time go?) and I bloody love it. There are so many reasons to love it up here but what I don't like is the weather, football traffic and the amount of beige food that's on offer. I … Continue reading MEAL: Butternut squash mac ‘n’ cheese
