Sweet Coleslaw

This quick coleslaw takes just minutes to put together.
Take one medium carrot and grate it, add an eighth of a grated cucumber and one small grated apple.  Sprinkle on some lemon juice and serve.

If the coleslaw is to be kept for later then soak the grated apple in water with a few drops of lemon juice added for 5 mins before draining and adding to the salad to stop it going brown.

Simple Lunch

I often find that lunchtime is when I have least time to make food so just grab something easy out of the fridge.  Today I have had Redwood cheatin' ham with Sainsbury cheap sweet pickle in the middle.  Quick but also tasty and filling!

Which dinner would you choose?

Today I made the kids a dinner of vegetarian choice sausages, mashed potato and baked beans.

















I made myself an aubergine and mixed vegetable curry which contained courgettes, mushrooms, tomatoes, mixed herbs, paprika, chilli, curry powder and turmeric.

Which do you think you would choose to have?

Oaty chocolate bites

This morning I made a chocolatey treat for my son. I mixed together the following ingredients:

1tsp peanut butter
1tsp margarine (melted)
1tsp cocoa powder
1tsp agave syrup
4 tsp oats

I mixed it well and he ate it with a spoon, but if I made a bigger quantity I would have rolled into balls and put in the fridge for later.

Shortbread

This isn't my recipe but I had to share it as it made delicious shortbread that everyone enjoyed:

Next time I think I will coat them in chocolate or add some flavour like lemon or vanilla.

Lovely texture.

Banana Milk Shake

This milk shake was made from real milk, not from cows though, from humans. I used 150ml of breast milk with a banana and blended them up.  Was a bit strange drinking my own milk, but it worked!

Busy....

The lack of recipes on the site is mainly due to trying to organise events and design a new website for the Shropshire Veggies and Vegans group. However, I'm still cooking and will have some new recipes soon.
