Food from March

Just a few of the culinary delights from the last 2 weeks:

Blueberry Maple Overnight Oats:

Hearty Breakfast Bowl (inspired by Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites):

This was really good, fried potatoes, scrambled tofu, home made fakon bits & salsa

Vegan Chikin Fu-Yung:

Hearty chikin noodle soup (from Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites):

Another excellent recipe from this book, will definitely be making this again.

Amy's Indian Vegetable Korma:

This was really great - its best cooked in the microwave though.

The Marks and Spencers Vegan option:

The only Vegan sandwich that I could find in M&S, it was quite good but not very filling.

Lasagne rolls with tofu ricotta (from Vegan Family Meals):

This was OK but had a unusual taste and took hours to make, I wont be making it again.

Sunday morning blues and some more product reviews

With pancake day coming up I thought I would sharpen my pancake making skills, so for breakfast Sunday morning I made pancakes from the Happy Herbivore cookbook, with blueberries and Provamel blueberry yogurt. They were delicious:

I have tried a couple of new products over the last week or two and all have been wonderful, the first was Fry's pepper steak style pie, it was lovely and had great pastry (although the pepper was quite hot!):

The second was Hippo Hyfryd white cacao coconut bar. Its coconut white chocolate truffle, wrapped in dark chocolate. After my first bite I thought "this isn't that great", but with each bite it got better and better and when I finished it I was craving more - its the closest thing to a vegan "Bounty" that I have tried so far and I will definitely be buying them again:

The third/fourth were the new Hazelnut/Almond milks from Alpro, I wasn't a big fan of the Almond (never have been a big fan of almond milks) but it is just as good (if not better) than its rivals and far cheaper, the Hazelnut however has become one of my favourite "milks" and will be making regular appearances in my kitchen. They both come in UHT and fresh versions, I tried UHT and they were both £1.59:

 Finally (and I have saved the best for last) Kara Chocolate Coconut Milk, this is just excellent beyond words. In my opinion - the nicest vegan chocolate milk there is:
