Making A Vegan Christmas Dinner

I haven’t posted anything up lately about veganism and I thought I would give that a little fix. I have gone every Christmas in my life without ever thinking about what a vegan would eat on Christmas Day. That was until last Christmas when Victoria came to my house for Christmas and I cooked for...

Monday Thoughts: Should we return to independent traders food shopping?

Victoria and I were watching a BBC documentary about plastic waste and at one point they mentioned how butchers, greengrocers and milkmen are making a small resurgence and that got me thinking about how much I use their services and actually how much I want to increase using local traders rather than supermarkets for my...

Veganuary: A look back

Veganuary Week 3

Well, well, well. Here we are for the 3rd week of Veganuary and everything is good with the world! Well in my little house anyway! As I haven’t felt too many challenging scenarios since Veganaury started I thought that I would chat a little about the food I have been making for my dinners as...

Veganuary 2019

A week or so ago, the ever wonderful Victoria asked me if I would be up for participating in Veganuary this year and I almost immediately said that I wasn’t. She prodded me a little bit as to why and in all honesty I simply just didn’t have the feeling to do it. I liked...

Planning your Christmas/New Year time off

For the first time since I was 15 (Oh God) I have time off around Christmas and New Year, and honestly, I have no idea what to do with myself. I am used to working all the way to Christmas Eve and then Boxing Day all the way through New Year. So to have *counts*...

Leaving fizzy drinks behind

When I got my arse back into gear and decided that being overweight wasn’t for me and that I quite enjoyed wearing mediums and not being as un-athletic as I once was I noted that I was consuming a lot of little treats and one of those little treats that I found myself having almost...

Hello! I am not one usually to write monthly goals, but I feel like putting a little pressure on myself every so often on some things is a good thing. For me it means I will get it done! Maybe last minute, but I will do it! So here are 9 things I aim to...
