Vegan Ribs: General foody stuff, baking, tattoos, life catch ups..

Aloha Vegans <3

So I know I have posted like a million blogs In the last day or 2, but I guess its nice to do a random one with pictures of the things i've been up to, some food porn and just some general bits and bats that don't seem to fit anywhere else.

With people leaving at work, naturally i got baking and made all the cake and cookies and brownies, whilst watching disney...is there a better combination than baking and disney? I'm not sure there is!! The end results im pretty proud of!!

Disney and Baking!

Also been finding time to relax and keep myelf busy, since i now only work 2.5 days a week..i have stupid amounts of free time to kill. Costa and a magazine has been a favourite to get myself out the flat.

Vegan Life mag and a costa...Relaxation time for me :)

I've also been making the best hot chocolates..cos its winter, its cold and this girl likes t get cosy!!

I also got a new tattoo..to celebrate getting a NEW JOB!! which is bloody exciting, 2 months of worry, sadness and stressing, but things have come together nicely!















and well..just losts of pics of vegan food, parents visiting, cocktails..and happy fun times!.A month ago..I was so deeply sad, Im really happy that life seems to be on the up again!!!

Extra time off means more time for making Kale and Quinoa based foods..

Had a cheeky trip to the Global Tribe Cafe in leeds following a job interview and the successful completion of my Christmas Shopping! I had this epic burger..OMG IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD

Another hight of single has been reached. I discovered CAT MUSIC..music that has been written by scientists for cats...Archi loves it, she has been so relaxed by listening to calming kitty music in bed. I quite like it too!!

All the veg

What did I eat today? January 27th

January 27th

Time is flying, only 4 days of veganuary left :)...A life time of veganism for me. It marks nearly 4 months since I became vegan and it has literally become the norm for me!

Breakfast:

Toast! I failed to take pics! Useless!!

Lunch:

Leftovers again! Can't beat leftovers can you? Gnocchi!!

Random Snackage:

Fizzy fangs from sainsburys!..These are awesome and 3 packs for £1... a hit in the office!

Tea:

I'm having friends for tea tomorrow, so I prepped some stuffed peppers with risotto. So thats what I've had for tea. With veggie fingers and a salad. I have a lot of evening activities at the moment, so it requires lots of quick easy meals! Tonight I had meditation! Ace fun!

Hope you enjoyed!

Apologies if my posts are getting repetitive. Its the reality of an insanely busy woman!

Thanks for all the support!

Much Love

What did I eat today-January 5th

Day 5

 Back.to workies!..the hardest get up of the year I recon! Returning to work after a 2 week break was hard, but I didnt sleep through my alarm. I count that as a win!!

This morning I made some marmite on toast..herbal tea and a banana. Im lucky enough to have a toaster etc in my office so I can store foods..nom. A great way to start the day, which will be quite a common breakfast during the working week.

Breakfast

Breaktime

By break time I'm super hungry. So more herbal tea and some fridge slice!

Lunch

Every time we have a staff training day, my workplace put on lunch. Normally the vegan options arent great but it seems that they are really imrpoving! I spoke to all the chefs when I went vegan and slowly but surely there is deffo progress in our canteen. Today there were potato wedges, salads, samosas, oil and vinegar or bread dipping! Happy days!!!

Tea

After a rather full on day back at work I made a really simple tea. Burger, sweet potato, humus and spinach (I love spinach)

These VegiDeli burgers from Vbites are soo tasty!! Also keep an eye out at Holland and Barrett for their sales!..66p.....bargain...and they are freezer friendly!!

Hope you all survived your first day back!

Much Love

What did I eat today?-January 4th

Day 4:

Well hello there! I hope everyone is doing well, those new to veganism...WELL DONE...youve done 4 days..it gets easier from here I promise!!

So I felt really poorly when I woke up this morning. Just a head cold I think and the sadness that today is the last day of the college holidays!! Back to work tomorrow, early mornings..boo!..I am excited to see all my colleagues though and get into the swing of a new term!

So todays fooodddd:

Breakfast:

Mushrooms, humus, sweet chilli and some Vbites vegan bacon. Breakfast of the gods. I love this breakfast a lot. I only really have breakfast in the holidays or at the weekend and this one is always a great treat. Also its kind of like a Bills restaurant breakfast. Which is NOM!

Lunch

I went to tesco today and found these parathas with bombay potato in, BOGOF making them 50p each!! Microwave, 3 minutes, serve with some spinach and you're good to go! I also had a naked bar because they are yum and raw vegan!

Tea

So for tea I just wanted some roasted veggies. I cut up sweet potato, onion, garlic, bell pepper and courgette, put on some bbq fry light and put in the oven for about 45 minute. I also had some vegan sausages. Yum

Finally I was on some facebook groups and i saw a really simple pancake recipe and thought i'd give it a whirl. So easy and the pancake was lovely. Had it with a banana, some schlagfix whipped cream and some chocshot sauce. Vegan heaven!!

So in general a good day for yummy food. I go back to work tomorrow and I know for a fact that I wont be treating myself as much. It will be back to the salad for lunch for me!
