So this is what me and Daniel get up to at the weekends! 🙂 We make sausage sandwiches.
Super simple – slice the buns, spread with hummus, chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, mashed avocado, ketchup and add the sausages. Serve straight away! Delicious!
Check out the video for better instruction! 🙂 enjoy!
A quick funny video of the kids first taste challenge, they were so excited about it Maggie rushed out to purchase all of the snacks for the next one from the Asian grocery store in Aberdeen.
This video consists of 6 snacks from Tesco which are gluten free and/or vegan friendly in an effort to get the kids to try new foods and not be scared off by how things look or appear at first.
Honest opinions are given, kids find it hard to lie lol! 🙂 The mustard I sneaked in at the end was a good surprise.
This video was Maggie’s idea and she made the signs etc. so I can’t take the credit for this one.
Well done Maggie xxxx
Daniel just told me ‘Mum your so good at making these sandwiches you should work in Subway!’
Super quick to make, slice your sub, spread with hummus and put in loads of salad and olives etc. top with mayo of choice, we had an egg free one and serve.
A quick recipe for sweet & sour stir fry with shitake mushrooms on top! 🙂 Delicious!
1 onion
1 red pepper
1 pack of beansprouts
1 can of bamboo shoots
1 bunch of chinese greens of choice
1 packet of marinated tofu pieces
1 packet of shitake mushrooms cooked with ginger and garlic (optional)
1 jar of sweet & sour sauce
1 packet of buckwheat noodles
Ok so you want to chop everything up first to get it all ready to go, get the frying pan or wok up to heat and pop in a tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat the onions and peppers for 5 mins, add in the rest of the vegetables and continue to cook breifly but don’t overcook the vegetables or they will go soggy!
Add the sauce and season with a little soy sauce. Serve with the cooked buckwheat noodles or rice, what ever you prefer.
If you want to see the recipe in video format check out my youtube recipe below!

Ok so here goes my super quick Indian curry recipe, this recipe was the result of me forgetting my Indian jar of sauce at the supermarket but I’m sure it was ten times tastier anyway than the jar I was supposed to pick up. So here goes…
4 garlic cloves chopped or grated
1 knob of ginger chopped finely
2 green chilies, sliced, seeds included for extra heat (optional but don’t be a wimp!)
Cinnamon stick whole
4 cardamon pods
1 thickly sliced courgettes
1 thickly sliced red pepper
hot curry powder 3-4tbsp
Soy Cream
1 handful of cashew nuts
1 carton/tin of chopped tomatoes
4 cubes of frozen spinach
parsley (optional)
lime pickle and mango chutney or any other condiments
rice of choice
So chop and prepare everything and put a small amount of oil in the pan, stir in the garlic, ginger and green chilies, cook for 5 mins, stir in the cinnamon and cardamon pods and cook for a further 5 mins.
Add the chopped vegetables and cook for 10-15mins, add the chopped tomatoes, curry powder, frozen spinach, a dash of water , cook until the vegetables are tender.
Add a dash of soy cream, the cashew nuts and cook a further 5 mins, season and serve with the rice and condiments and parsely on top if you wish.
Thats it enjoy! 🙂
A quick beetroot smoothie with oranges and honey, delicious before a run or other form of exercise. 🙂
1 whole fresh uncooked beetroot washed and peeled
2 large oranges
1 tsp of Nomi friut powder or other superfood of choice
1 tbsp of Hemp Seeds
1 Tbsp of raw honey
Pop all of the ingredients into the blender, top up with water and blend until smooth. Share amongst two or three glasses and serve. I like to have beetroot before working out as there are benefits for our bodies. Check out some benefits listed in the link below.

We ended up at Duff House play park today, the kids were super hungry after their play in the lovely park and it was really cold, it was -2 when we left the house so we headed into the tea room for some tea and lunch. I thought I would check out the vegetarian/vegan options as usual and I was pretty impressed.
I had a lovely cup of tea with a mozzarella stromboli sandwich filled with olives and tomatoes, it was very similar to a large panini, very filling and so delicious.
We will definitely be going back with the family, they have little kid boxes too for the kids and we also have a historic Scotland pass so I look forward to taking a trip around the house next time.
The restaurant has plenty of information on the history of the house and it’s a pretty interesting read as you await your lunch.
Check it out at the website below.

A quick look at two soups I purchased from Aldi’s the other day whilst looking for vegetarian foods, I would really recommend giving them a try they taste delicious and were really cheap to buy! 🙂
Love Angie x
So for a quick dinner I mixed up some chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, dried mint (use fresh if you have), some olive oil and seasonings for a tomato salad and served it along with some plain and simple sliced avocado and cucumber with a squeeze of lime on top and some chopped coriander. I finished this off with some sliced oranges and a couple squares of chocolate.
Sliced Tomatoes
Red Onion
Dried Mint (fresh if you have)
Olive oil
Sliced Cucumber
Sliced Avocado
4 pieces of artichokes (jar in olive oil)
Chopped coriander
Lime
Crispbreads of choice (I used aldi’s organic multiseed)
Blood oranges (although my oranges were not very red in the picture!)
Simple chop the tomatoes and add to the sliced onion with the mint and a drizzle of olive oil. Season! Slice up the avocados and cucumber and drizzle with a sliced lime. Serve on top of the crispbreads in the order you wish. Enjoy!
Check those eye bags!!!
I was so tired today doing all the pet chores outside as I was woken up every hour last night with the howling wind and snow storms. The weather was also freezing cold but I made a really quick video in the garden today and had another peek at all the rescue hens who are still on lock down due to the bird flue risk. This means they are not allowed out of their enclosure or outside until the end of February. It makes things very difficult but its not long and I look forward to seeing them free ranging at the start of spring…what a delight that will be! 🙂
Remember those times when you would come back in the house crying because your hands were so numb with cold, well that was me today, I was almost greeting my hands were so sore! 🙂
I hope to post it onto my youtube page late next week.
