Vegans Choice wrap - Giddyup!


Recently I noticed that Vegans Choice have stepped up their fresh produce section, I had a Wrap there and I must say it was delightful
they have a choice of 3, the salad is fresh and the dip plentiful.
they also sell a range of baked treats (cupcakes, cookies) which I plan on sampling over the coming weeks.
Though, I doubt the cupcakes are as good as Eliza's.
Time Will Tell.

Chai in Chippo


Hi There,
I've been making a tradition of having a hot cup of chai in the afternoon.
So far this week I've tried Mattino, CM and Giulia, goes without saying that Giulia makes the best (so far) I've gotta try Toby's Estate, (maybe tomorrow) to be totally fair. All-round they could be creamier (hmmm, 'creamy for soy milk, if you're getting me).
will keep you posted.

Warm Salads

Throughout winter, there's no reason why one can't enjoy a nice warm salad, delish!
Also, I have raw greens to thank for my exceptional Folate levels, you too could have sweet levels like me!

The chilled elements are fundamentally the same:
Greens: (baby spinach or rocket)
torn fresh herbs - basil, parsley
cherry tomatoes halved
shallots
cucumber (scored and seeded)
avocado diced

the warm elements cuould be as simple as;
garlic croutons (well toasted bread, rubbed with a clove of garlic and diced
or a piece of flat-bread grilled and smashed apart.

If you're feeling more motivated;
cube up tofu and fry in peanut oil with some soy and chilli
roast vegetables
or
dry-fry chickpeas and onions with cumin and black pepper

Finish off the salad with a generous lemon and olive-oil dressing

Enjoy!
