I gave up eating chicken nuggets long before I became vegetarian, once you read what goes into a chicken nugget you can’t look at them the same again! Plus nine times out of ten I would always end up gagging on a piece of gristle, ugh!
Anyway, our local supermarket has recently been overshadowed by a [...]

Today I’ve been inspired by Danielle at New Mommy Rant to continue my virtual housekeeping. I checked for and repaired deadlinks 2 weeks ago so they should be grand, I still have to divide my blogroll into easier-to-manage sections, I have a few new blogs to add to it. I had a look at other [...]

I used to live in Doc Martens in my pre-vegan days, I had black ones, purple ones, burgundy ones, a pair lovingly customised with sparkly coloured nail polish, my so-called “baby-docs” which only had 6 holes, ah those were the days!

My latest post on The Veggie Blog, reposted here for your enjoyment!
Me again, I’ll be posting here every so often with some random thoughts vaguely connected to being a vegan parent and raising vegan children. My daughter is 18 months old, so I don’t have huge swathes of experience yet, but I will offer up [...]

The weather is so very, very nice and hot that I made some juice popsicles for myself yesterday. And as our matcha powder had arrived, I took the opportunity to make some Green Tea Freezer Pops from My Sweet Vegan too. Here’s one in all its rocketship-shaped green-tea glory!

Littlepixie is having a snooze, Mr. HPP is reading his birthday books and I’m letting you all know that Chai “Cheese”cake [...]
