What I Ate This Week #12

Let's just first start of the week by appreciating the goodness that is - these homemade coconut macaroons and chocolate chip cookies. Yes. Let's take a moment.

Ah.

Yeah being a vegetarian doesn't mean you have to eat healthy food all the time!

A favourite, savoy cabbage, garlic, onion and chickpea pasta. I can eat a bucket of this stuff.

The baked potatoes mixed with egg yolk and cheese, popped under a grill are something I used to eat a lot when I was little, it's good for you! (My Mum used to feed me mashed potato mixed with egg powder when I was a baby, it made me grow to a 6 foot tall adult!) Some beanie nugget things from Morrisons and broad beans. I've got a lot of love for broad beans.

Naughty Dominoes takeaway pizza. Veg Supreme minus the sweetcorn and nachos with jalapenos. *shrugs*

There were egg yolks left over from making coconut macaroons hence using them up mixed in a baked potato. Green beans, cauliflower, carrots and a Linda McCartney cheese, leek and red onion plait.

Went to the Spread Eagle for lunch after picking my boyfriend up from work. The vegetarian option was nothing to shout about, I got a broccoli and cheese bake thing (really soggy) and some veg. The roast potatoes were rock hard and the Yorkshire pudding very chewy. I always ask what they have been cooked in hoping it's vegetarian friendly! 

My boyfriend and I had a go at making veggie sushi and vegetable tempura and it turned out really well. I am actually quite good at rolling sushi it appears (the trick is to really squash down when you roll so it holds together). I made avocado and carrot, cucumber and cream cheese, carrot and cream cheese; and pepper and cucumber. They were delicious. We used this kit and it was really easy. 

The vegetable tempura batter was far too thin using this from Sainsbury's. If you try it, don't put all the liquid in at once, add about two thirds and go from there. As you can see we tested the batter mix with a broccoli and it just ran off entirely! We had to add some flour to thicken it up. We battered broccoli, sweet potato, onion rings, carrot, spring onions and avocado. Unfortunately my hair smelt like a deep fat fryer afterwards but that was the price I paid for tasty food!
