Have you tried them?

Got my toes out today.

Must be (almost) summer ☀️

I learned how to make sourdough about a month ago and I have fallen in love with it, it’s such a beautiful magical process. Any other sourdough makers out there?

Reasons I Love Aldi #4

Needed to do a bit of a stock up today as I didn’t go food shopping last week, all this for £25.85!

Love their Indian Inspired Nests, they’re like a giant vegetable pakora 😋

I’ve been diagnosed with cluster headaches, have you ever hear of them?

I wrote “Donald Trump is an idiot.” in a comment on Instagram and I got a warning… so I’m saying it here instead.

Can confirm that Nature’s Store hazelnut & cocoa spread is DELICIOUS 😋

Today’s food shop, from Tesco, £26.80 (with clubcard!), ouch 😆

Excited to try the Planted chicken, the Squeaky Bean tuna (I’ve heard good things!) & the chocolate spread 😋

Today’s lunch with an Aldi Plant Menu no chicken breast, curly fries and homemade guacamole 🥑

Gotta say, not a fan of the Aldi no chicken breast. Much preferred the Iceland Crispy Ch*cken fillets.

It’s the @rspb.bsky.social #BigGardenBirdwatch this weekend! Can you get a full house?!

Today’s baking escapades resulted in flapjacks and also me leaving the tap running with the plug in and leaving the building… oops 😬

This evening I had Iceland’s crispy buffalo tenders… do they taste like buffalo wings? No idea as I’ve not had them but there’s definitely no spice to these and I think there’s meant to be? Do they taste like chicken? No. Are they edible? Yep, especially with plenty of vegan garlic mayo 😉 #veganuary

Got busy in the kitchen this afternoon and made this spring greens, potato & chickpea curry.

Totally made it up as I went along but it looks tasty 😋

Just had what is now my new favourite comfort food for lunch 😋

An Iceland ch*cken fillet with rice cooked in veg stock (thanks for the tip in your videos @thoseveganguys.bsky.social), steamed broccoli and spring onion. Totally plant based until I added the Aldi satay sauce which isn’t vegan… 1/2

Tried out the Big D vegan chocolate chip peanut butter I picked up yesterday on toast this morning with sliced banana. Can confirm deliciousness 😋.

Some bits I picked up today that I’m excited to try… PSA the Swedish glacé is only £1.50 in Poundland!

I think the chocolate chip peanut butter will be absolutely divine on my porridge!

And who knew that Iceland had a vegan range?!

It’s been A DAY. Here is a photo is a sheep (snapped last Saturday during the Big Freeze) to cheer us all up.

How has your Saturday been?

Had myself a cheeky roast this evening with Aldi’s Plant Menu No Turkey roasting joint and it was okay… definitely couldn’t mistake it for meat but with gravy and a bit of brown sauce it was definitely edible!

Probably wouldn’t buy again though tbh. Have you tried it?
