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
BAKED GOODS: A simple chocolate cake
Vegans just eat grass right? We've all seen the memes, we've all pretended to laugh at the jokes, yeh very funny everyone. Now that it's BBQ season this joke seems to be around more than usual - wonderful. A few weeks ago I went home for my dad's 60th birthday and what did we do … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: A simple chocolate cake
REVIEW: The Primal Pantry bars = HEAVEN!
A few weeks back, the lovely lambs over at The Primal Pantry sent me some bars to try. Now I usually snack on fruit or crisps (because crisps are life and I just can't seem to quit them) but I like to keep a stash of snack bars in my cupboard for a treat, because … Continue reading REVIEW: The Primal Pantry bars = HEAVEN!
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
SMOOTHIE: Protein smoothie
Ok so I'm really not one of these protein gym wankers who get their protein shakers out at work (you know who you are lads). The one thing that everyone loves to joke about now that I'm vegan is "But where do you get your protein from?" EVERYWHERE IDIOTS. I do subscribe to eating protein … Continue reading SMOOTHIE: Protein smoothie
SWEET TREATS: Date energy balls
Last year I made some energy bites and I've been eating them on and off since, but they had puffed rice in them so they didn't stay crispy for long and I'd end up eating them way too fast! So I though I'd rethink it and throw together something smoother (this worked better than my … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Date energy balls
REVIEW: The Herbivore Kitchen, Edinburgh
If there's one thing that will stop me in my tracks, it is the words "vegan pancakes". Seriously, no matter what I am up to, who I'm talking to, if I hear those words I loose track of what I'm doing and drift off into a world of fluffy pancakes... wait, what was I saying? … Continue reading REVIEW: The Herbivore Kitchen, Edinburgh
SMOOTHIE: Vitamin boost, green smoothie
I love smoothies. Have you noticed? I barely mention it right? What about green smoothies? Yeh I ADORE them too. Smoothies are just so handy, I make one when I need a snack or just before I go to bed so that I can stick it in the fridge and grab it first this for breakfast. My … Continue reading SMOOTHIE: Vitamin boost, green smoothie
LISTS: 4 reasons to love LUSH
Being vegan isn't just about the food that you eat, it's about letting compassion completely overtaking your whole life - I am aware that saying that makes me sounds mental but it's the truth, if you'd have said to me two years ago that I would be advocating a vegan lifestyle for everyone I'd have … Continue reading LISTS: 4 reasons to love LUSH
