I've never heard of an Alpro spread/margarine. Not sure it had ever been available in the UK. Same goes for the burgers. Are we missing out on something here?

It is the start of the school holidays, and I think I need to take this chance to get a bit fitter again. I like doing Pilates and Yoga, and I usually use DVDs for my routines. Could do with some new...
Had a lovely luch at The Hutch in Canterbury today: quinoa salad with hummus and GF bread, followed by pineapple carpaccio with raspberry sorbet. Absolutely delicious (plus OH and brother in law both...
Have you tried looking at Lush hair products? Don't think they do a bleach, but you might be able to find a good oonditioner. I use their henna to dye my hair (although I use Original Source shampoo...
I noticed a pumpkin theme above, so I thought I'd join in: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Cinnamon Icing (VCTOTW as usual, using gluten free flour)

I'm feeling distinctly unhealthy at the moment. Since moving house I find it difficult to find time to exercise, and I keep eating all the wrong stuff, mainly due to lack of time and the easiness of...
New house, new excuse to bake? (all from VCTOTW and in gluten free versions!)
First, my mum and dad came down to visit last week, so it seemed only polite to make some cakes:
basic chocolate...
^ Hi Kitteh! Am currently trying to be GF to support my other half, and your photos look delicious (as usual). Any chance of PMing the recipes for the focaccia and chickpea nuggets (or letting me...
Just made the rice pudding from Viva Vegan. Ommy nommy nommy goodness. No photo cos I ate it too quick!
I've broken my stepping machine! Must have been stepping too hard!
A few weeks ago went gluten-free in solidarity with my husband, who has an intolerance (he is omni, but with veggie leanings, especially when I cook vegan goodies for him). Then, for a week I went...
I use flaxseed to keep my skin under control, and usually throw a spoon of the ground seeds on my cereal in the morning. If I don't have cereal, I have to take the actual oil instead, which I find...
Is it really weird that some of us have a camera permanently in the kitchen, and take pictures of our food before we eat it? Do normal people do this?
Anyway, promised savoury goodies, and made...

Was going to make the Guatita again tonight, but then realized I had no tomatoes, so made Cachapas instead. Made it GF, and once...
I think I'm becoming predictable. More cakes, this time the Your Basic Chocolate Cupcake with Fluffy Buttercream Frosting from VCTOTW. They are for my singing pupils tomorrow (end of term treat). OH...
It's arrived! My package was delivered today, so now I have tomatillas, hominy (is that spelled right?), dried chipotle chillis and achiote paste.
Will make the potato and chickpea thingie this...
Am currently waiting for a selection of food goodies to arrive after ordering them on the internet. Then I can cook even more tasty things....
The next stage of the Viva Vegan adventure:
my attempt at Creamy Potato Peanut Stew:

Not quite as liquid as Kitteh's...
^ Thanks BlackCats. They disappeared pretty quickly at the rehearsal today. Most of them probably didn't even realize they were vegan! One of my friends who knows about my veganism tried one of each...
Had a bit of a mad baking session (for my friends at a rehearsal tomorrow).
Jelly donut cupcakes (VCON)
The jam didn't sink in all of them, but I'm sure they will still be yummy....
Ok, last night made the mashed potato pancakes, and tonight made the tostones with avocado and palm cerviche:

Nom nom nom....
I am really frustrated cos the battery in my camera is out of juice, and I can't find the charger. If I could, you would now be seeing photo of bento box containing the following:
Exquisite rice...
Well, the fridge in Redditch works just fine! (Sometimes it just isn't that full!)
OK, first attempts today.
Homemade Corn Tortillas (gluten intolerant OH is now very happy, as we can't buy corn tortillas very easily here).
Portobello Feijoada
Braised Brazilian Shredded Kale...
I know it's slightly different, but I'm also a little freaked out by the new Anchor Butter advert - Made by Cows since bla bla bla. Something in my head just says that it's wrong somehow.
Thanks Kitteh. Those dishes look delicious. I've managed to surprise myself
by finding masa harina in our local supermarket, so this weekend it will be tortillas all round. I might try the Potato...
My copy arrived today, hurray! Have had a look through and feel all inspired. However, I'll have to search my local Sainsburys to see if I can find all the ingredients I need. Now, which recipe...
Further to my discovery a few months ago that decorating is good exercise, yesterday we were told at lunchtime that someone wanted to come and look at the house (we've just put it up for sale). Cue 5...
It's taken me a while to get used to the new tofu texture, but I think it makes even better faux egg salad than the old one did, and possibly nicer scrambled tofu as well. Haven't tried freezing or...
Just a quick warning - the Moroccan Spiced Falafel Bites actually have honey in them. I bought some by accident as a quick of the 'allergens' revealed no milk or egg. Got them home and was gutted to...
I feel all inspired again. At the moment, I've just been throwing cherry tomatoes, raw carrots, cashews and sultanas in my box, with occasional vegan sausages or oatcakes (so, so lazy). NO MORE! I...
Has anyone else made the Tahini and Lime Cookies yet? I had a mad moment, and all the ingredients, and whipped up a batch. I loved them, OH not so keen (doesn't really like lime that much). So I took...
The tofu balls are a definite favourite in our house. I make 'em smallish and cook them really well. Then we serve them with a veggie and tomato sauce and pasta. YUM. Last time, I had run out of...
I've been to the Jimmy Spices in Birmingham. There are buffets from around the world, and chefs who can prepare other stuff too, like fresh dosas, etc. I piled my plate high with salad, and there...
I could have been imagining it, but I think I saw some rice syrup in Sainsbury's today. It was with the oriental food in the 'gourmet' section.I'll check next time I'm there.
Could you get it via...
Ok, it's been a while since I posted any pictures, despite the fact that my OH has kept me busy baking cookies and muffins for the last couple of weeks (school holidays, so he thinks I've got nothing...
Wasn't going to plant anything this year as we are planning on moving. But, then I gave in and planted some mange tout and dwarf beans yesterday. Hopefully they will grow quick and I can eat them...
Have discovered a new form of exercise: decorating and cleaning! Over the easter weekend I repainted the lounge, then the kitchen ceiling. Today I spent an hour or so scrubbing the kitchen floor...
My delightful OH has just given me a box for Easter. Nom nom nom. Caramelly goodness wrapped in chocolate. With treats like this, why isn't everyone vegan?
I love eggless egg salad. I kind of use the recipe from How It All Vegan, but miss out half the fiddly bits. I do usually include spring onions though.
Tasty tasty.
