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.

Trying to save a baby rabbit

Our cat often brings in dead rabbits and mice to the house and eats them.  It's pretty horrible as a vegan but we accept that it is natural and we can't stop it happening.  Our cat is a feral cat and we couldn't keep him inside.
Today he brought in a live rabbit kitten as a gift for us so we had to decide what to do with it.  I didn't want to release it back o the field where it had come from as chances are the cat would catch it again and it wouldn't be so lucky next time.  My husband didn't want to cage it as that is going against what nature intended.  So we phoned up Cuan House Rescue centre who are going to look after it for a bit then release it into a safe place in the countryside with 2 other kittens they already have.
