Living in the North of Scotland, vegan, home educating, dancing, cake eating, writing, woodland walking... no set subject matter here really though :)

squash and snuggles
There is a pumpkin soup recipe and a butternut squash recipe on our soup page, though lately weve been enjoying them in a creamy soup thus: peel, deseed and chop squash of choice, cover with water and bring to boil. Add in onion, lots of garlic, a chilli and salt to taste. Blend up with a [...]
graze
The postman just bought our first graze box, which we got free, and it’s gorgeous. Very high quality snacks in there, loads to choose from on their site. There’s even a non-vegan food list so you can bin all those items if you are vegan, though I would say the majority of it is fine. [...]
moo free chocolates
Moo Free Chocolates sent us some goodies to try. A sweet, mild chocolate very reminiscent of milk chocolate, went down well with our teens, I think younger children would love it too. I do like the sparkly blue foil It’s vegan (well, duh), organic and uses fairtrade cocoa. There is also going to be an [...]

preserving
What a bumper year it’s been for the currants – were having berried up green smoothies daily, there are lots in freezer which will extend the berry smoothie season and it’s looking to be a very abundant bramble year too. Last year we gathered quite a lot for the freezer as well as smoothie-ing them [...]
sweet things
Have been sent some Alpro goodies to try We do like their soya milk. The only one I didn’t know about was the ‘milk alternative’ suitable from 1 year old. Lots of extra vitamins and iron in it (and surprisingly nice in nocaf!). The chocolate puddings are lush lush lush… Blackcurrant smoothies, there have been a few [...]

cup of tea, anyone?
I was most intrigued during the week to be offered the above product samples for review on the site. It didn’t seem likely that a major company was producing something so accommodating to vegans and non-dairy drinkers. I googled to make sure it was true… and it was: Tetley for Soya I don’t usually drink [...]
new designs in shop
Great program photoshop I’ve created a few new designs for the spreadshirt shop, some based on flowers from the garden, some ballet, old pictures and still the original vegan and home ed categories too. There is an offer on from today, 12th July to 30th July (2010 for future clarification) – if you buy £40 worth [...]
green soup and juice, raw chocolate pud
recipe up here been drinking wheatgrass juice with friends Raw chocolate pudding teamed up with Swedish Glace (booja booja stuff in a tub is raw if you prefer). Pudding was made thus: grind up some raw chocolate nibs (could use cocoa though of course not raw) then blend with a large avocado and 2 ripe bananas with a squirt [...]
planting log, sitting, eating, stones and sea
I have just planted over 300 little leeks, lots of kale and purple sprouting brocolli seedlings, carrots, radish, garlic, basil, sunflowers and flat leaf parsley as an alternative to the madly (but wonderfully) continually self seeding curly The thinking of the planting this year is to grow things that both do well up here and that [...]
