I always love it when I find foods that are vegan, but no-one thinks of them as vegan. No-one would have a clue. They are perfect for entertaining and everyone loves them, regardless of what your eating preferences are. One of those dishes is Guacamole. I simply love Guacamole – I adore it.…
I used to hate tofu. Hate is the correct word for my feelings about tofu. Some other good words were loathing, despise, repugnance and make me want to vomit. Tofu inspired in me feelings of everything unpleasant. Tofu was the surprise ingredient you occasionally got in a Thai stir-fry that always seemed to…
I had brilliant intentions. You see I have a tree full of lemons, I have given some away, I have made lemon curd cupcakes, I have frozen some and I seem to still have lemons. I went outside yesterday to pick some – thus my brilliant intentions. I had the idea of a fabulous Vegan…
I am afraid to say that I am a terrible food snob. I am completely obsessed with good food. About other things, I tend not to worry , I wear the same piece of clothing until it falls apart. I can forget to brush my hair for days. I don’t care if something is…
I woke up dark and twisted today. I actually thought f*** it and lay in bed contemplating fast food. 40 minutes north was McDonald’s and Red Rooster, 60 minutes south was McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Already the southern option was winning in my head. In my former life Kentucky Fried Chicken was my…
I love that feeling as the weekend approaches. Even if I have nothing planned there is nothing to beat that Friday feeling! Fridays make me happy. Another thing that makes me happy is dates. Before becoming vegan I could never have imagined how many uses the humble date has. They are so versatile,…
Sometimes I have the most intense cravings for meals that only animal products can produce. I am not talking about a steak as I was never a big meat eater but rather other things. As a new vegan I have come to the conclusion that there are going to be cravings that I will…
I love my breakfast smoothie, primarily as it requires little effort and is tasty as well. It is an easy start to the day and something I don’t even think about. Which is a treat in itself. One thing I have found about pursuing a new lifestyle is it seems to take so much more…
For those Friday nights when it is cold outside, it has been raining all day, the fire is on and I have a long night ahead with just me and Netflix I always crave something indulgent, something easy and something that feels like a treat. For such nights I make sure I have a can…
Being a vegan means deprivation. And in the beginning it seems like a very long path ahead. Now before anyone gets annoyed at that statement, I am not talking about the reality of being a vegan I am talking about the conception that normal meat eating creatures have about becoming a vegan. That conception that…
So after a year or so of deciding that I was going to become the best vegan there ever was I stopped. It was as simple as that. It was equivalent to slapping myself on the face several times and giving myself a good talking to. And in giving myself that very good talking…
After doing a little bit of research I became increasingly frightened of vegans. Why? Because all of a sudden it appeared that being a vegan was no longer about tasteless lentils and hairy arm pits. Only a few moments with google showed me that “Vegan” was now synonymous with glamour, an urban cool, sexiness…
