I finally got around to making homemade veggie stock from my frozen organic scrap pile. It’s so easy, what was I afraid of?!
I added about 1.5 times as much water as veggies, plus 1 extra chopped onion & 1 extra carrot, some fridge debris and some bouquet garni baggies that were lying around my spice [...]

It’s Mr.HPP’s birthday today so let us all shout a big “Happy Birthday Mr.HPP”
There was cake (the good old vegan victoria sponge filled with strawberry jam and covered in coconut cream)
and there was mashed potato & maple-dijon roasted veggies with a little extra (slabs of tofu roasted with the veggies & covered in [...]

1000+ is the figure that looks at me each time I open my Google Reader! 1000+… you people have been very verbose (or the blogging equivalent anyway) while I was away, so apologies for my lack of commenting on your blogs, I’ll catch up soon
In the meantime, Littlepixie & Mr. HPP cooked a [...]

We don’t really “do” St. Patrick’s day here, not really that into nationalistic, “celebrate the day we cleared the snakes pagans out of Ireland” type celebrations, but living in Ireland the day is fairly unavoidable! It’s one of those holidays that is a big community thing, all the school bands and local groups march in [...]
Coconut pancakes of deliciousness

I fully blame (and profusely thank) Mihl @ Seitan is my Motor for tempting me and making me “spoil my dinner” by scoffing a plate of coconut pancakes this evening. “Coconut pancakes?” I hear you exclaim as you rush into the kitchen to make some, “Coconut pancakes” I nod, with a full happy belly and [...]

Today’s veg basket contained another beautiful celeriac and as I still had some of the old one in the fridge I decided to make some more of the celeriac and squash soup that I made last time. And I also decided that I would put whatever odds and ends were in my fridge into it, [...]

I know a few of you also have “carbitarian-ly inclined” toddlers, so I thought I would share our latest discovery… white almond butter is virtually tasteless and is very good on wholegrain toast! Littlepixie will quite happily scoff it on her toast and not complain that it is stinky.
I’ve been using it in our soups [...]
