New Years Eve dinner.


I bought a small 1 lb. Field Roast for my main. I think I like Tofurky Roasts better. Field Roast taste too similar to the sausages. I do like the sausages though.


My attempt at Delia Smith Yorkshire puds! I need to work on them more as far as the look. They need to rise and puff more. I think it was either the kind of pan (muffin) or the fat wasn't heated hot enough. Next time I'll make it right! But the taste was divine. They are really good.


My plate. Served with mash, gravy and green beans.


Festive wine with dinner.


Saw a recipe online for pudding brownies which looked more like a cake so I tried it out with these ingredients. You only need 2 cups of non dairy milk which you whisk with the pudding mix until smooth. Then you add the cake mix to it and stir it up until smooth and bake for 30 minutes in a 350 F oven.


Et voila! Worked a treat. It was nice and tender. I wish the chocolate chips would have melted more.


So so so good! I was so surprised how well it turned out. It is like eating pudding flavored cake. So tender and spongy. Served with Coco Whip of course!

Christmas Foods 2015!

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I'm just going to dump all my food pics. I am so full and fat from it all! Love!


My husband and I had dinner on xmas eve at our friend's place. Every year they have made a vegan friendly dinner for us. This year vegan Yorkshire puddings were a first!



Delia Smith recipe using soymilk, ener-g egg replacer and oil instead of animal products. They were heavenly!



All together now. My plate. I made the tofurky roast and orange herb gravy.


My friend Hope is a non-vegan vegan baker! She's amazing. Everything just comes out perfect.


These are Fran Costigan's Chocolate Tortes TO LIVE FOR. They really are.




Apple Cider cupcakes from VCTOTW.



Every year we make these Espresso Oatmeal Chip cookies from VCIYCJ.

I got a genius brainwave the next day. Leftover ganache and coconut milk with a little agave made delicious hot chocolate!


Sprinkled with some cinnamon.


Christmas day with my folks and brother. I made breakfast. Vegan Brunch's pastry puffs using Field Roast sausage instead of tempeh. Amazing everytime.


Broccoli quiche from Vegan Brunch. Can't go wrong.


Diner home fries from Vegan Brunch.


Leftover quiche and Bubble and Squeak made from leftover home fries and cabbage for Boxing Day breakfast! Mmmmm!

Thanksgiving 2013.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you're home with friends and family, cozy and pleasantly full! I sure am. This Thanksgiving was low key as it was just me and my husband. My parents and brother went out of town so I didn't make a gargantuan amount of food as I usually do. We ate two plate of food and have been relaxing on the couch with a glass of wine and Twilight Zone marathon on the tv. I am now blogging from the comfort of my couch with a cup of holiday black tea nearby. The following is what we ate today.


First up, Tofurky Roast! I swear, every year it just tastes better and better. I roasted mine on top of carrots, turnips and onions with a delicious olive oil/soy sauce/orange juice/herb marinade.


Delicious herb stuffing from The Vegan Family cookbook. My husband complimented me on this and I was glad because he's used to boxed chicken flavored stuffing. Homemade is best!


First time for me making a sweet potato casserole. I got this recipe from Susan V. here. It's very good but so sweet. I'm not used to adding sugar and syrup to sweet potatoes, but I'm glad I tried it. I only used two sweet potatoes so I pretty much halved the recipe.


I gave these vegan Yorkshire puddings a go. I was very scared but I'm happy I tried. They didn't come out puffy and light like the traditional ones but these were quite nice. I would add less salt next time. I used Jeni's recipe here. I subbed almond milk instead of soy and all purpose instead of bread flour which could be why they didn't turn out how they should.


My plate. Everything was so delicious!


And for dessert, german chocolate cake! I used Susan V's recipe here.
