VeganRibs: Halifax, Austerity,food, London and more!!!

Aloha Vegans

I really apologize for being a rubbish blogger! I have been soo busy starting my new job and my new exciting adventure that I have just not had time to Blog!..Terrible!

But ALAS..I am here, with the usual food pictures!

Sit back, relax and enjoy some nice vegan food that I've been chomping on, some purchases and general things I've been upto whilst living my lush Vegan life!

So the joy of starting a new job in a new town is that I have managed to find some nifty spots to get food during my lunch break! The first place i found is a cafe called Gingers in Halifax. Its a vegetarian cafe but it does a lot of great vegan food..and the BEST cake ever!! Its also really nicely priced! Below is a picture of a beetroot stew with veggies:

 Below gingers (the restaurant)  is a health food shop where i found this new violife parmasan. It is very strong stuff, but really good on pasta.

There is also a lush Thai corner place in the market hall and they make fresh noodles in front of you and they are INSANE...soo good!

 In my new chop we are lucky enough to have a cafe and they have a milk steamer, which I use in soy milk and make the BEST chai latte!!

Its starting to get super warm in the office!..I've just got a fan and have been LIVING off these tesco ice creams..EPIC

Amidst the craziness of getting a new job I also went to London and Kent for a weekend to join the austerity march and visit my sister for her 30th!

Me and my Uncle protesting!

It was an EPIC event. Seeing that many people come together to march for change. Nice to know that you're not alone in your lefty liberal views. I always find marches super inspiring!

Whilst in London I also visited my favorite shop Vx or Vegan Cross and did some serious damage to my bank account. Their food is just epic. I got soo much stuff:

My sister had a 30th BBQ which was lovely! I spent the whole time defending veganism to her friends but it was lush to see my family!

Other things I've been upto include;

Making many cakes to wow my choir and my colleagues!

Cat Loving.....

Spending time with Chummies

and Cooking....

All in all its been an epic month, new jobs, new food, family time, marching around london, cooking, cats and much much more! 

Thanks for reading

Much Love

What did I eat this weekend? January 17th and 18th

January 17th and 18th

Aloha.
I hope everyones weekend was just lovely! I have been very busy and therefore didn't post yesterday! I thought I would do the entire weekend in one go.

Saturday

So today I went on a meditation course in Huddersfield. I actually gave up a lie in to do this, which for me is pretty epic. I forgot to photo breakfast, but it was extremely unhealthy, herbal tea and biscuits! oops!

Lunch

I went into town after the meditation course (which was amazing) and decided that I would continue my day of relaxing by enjoying some Costa and book time. I love this. Put my headphones in, read a book and drink a bucket of soy chai latte. I cant recommend this drink enough! I also enjoyed an M &S samosa.

Tea

For my dinner (or tea as the northern folk call it)  I decided to make some vegan Hulloumi. I was super hungry from swimming and needed some comfort food.
I did this by pressing some firm tofu over night (planning is key) and making a paste out of nutritional yeast, paprika, salt, and turmeric. This was then left to marinate a bit and then fried. I served on a bagel with rocket, mushrooms, spinach and some sweet chilli. To accompany I made kale crisps. NOM NOM NOM NOM

Sunday

Breakfast was unfortunately missed today due to having several glasses of wine too many last night! My bad! I slept through, but then made a lovely lunch.


Lunch

Grilled cheese sandwich and kale crisps. I am obsessed wit kale crisps atm. They are so simple and soo tasty!

Tea

For tea I got some veggie burgers and a sweet potato. Shoved them in the oven for half an hour with a giant mushroom, asparagus, tiny leeks, broccoli and some spring onion. Sprayed with fry light. Food heaven. Served with greens! Lovely

Overall some top food this weekend!

Much Love
