Day 15 and it’s the last day before the ‘big shop’, so nothing exciting on the menu I’m afraid (if you are interested, the menu is at the end of this post). What I will share instead is my favourite new eco-product: Smol Laundry Capsules. The best thing about it is it only cost me… Continue reading Day 15: Good things come in Smol packages
Day 14 marks the end of week 2 of Meat-Free May. I am delighted to report that we haven’t really missed meat at all so far, but we’re only now approaching half way through the month so I don’t want to speak too soon. Day 14 Menu Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs and Baked Beans on Seeded… Continue reading Day 14: “Got Nothing In” Stir Fry

Today I decided to try something new and make my own naan bread to accompany my vegetarian curry. Neither recipes were my own, however I will share the links below as they were both delicious! The curry is mild enough that I could even blend it to a smooth paste so my 7 month old… Continue reading Day 12: Coconut Lentil Curry and Homemade Naan
Before Meat-Free May began, we had already introduced going veggie 2 nights a week, and one of my go-to meals was an adaptation of carbonara. Traditionally a dish made with bacon and lashings of cream, my version uses neither but still captures the essence of this comforting meal. Day 9 Menu Breakfast: Wholegrain Cereal Lunch:… Continue reading Day 9: Mushroom & Broccoli Quick Carbonara

Here is what we had: Day 5 Menu Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs & Beans on Wholewheat Toast Lunch: Vegan Pesto… Continue reading Day 5: Vegetarian Chilli Con Carne
Day 4 and its Star Wars Day! May the fourth be with you, fellow rebels! As much as I’d love to say we have a Star Wars themed recipe to share today, we do not. But we do have a comforting porridge recipe to share. It’s easy peasy and very adaptable to suit your own… Continue reading Day 4: Spiced Banana Porridge
Day 3 and still going strong! We might be meat-free, but today is fish day. Of course you could substitute the fish for other vegetables, beans or pulses if you wanted to, but we're happy with ethically sourced fish.
