Well the days are warming up and summers starting to feel like its making its way i even had ice cream not made by myself though. Iv been thinking a lot about salads over the last few days and now iv been informed by my employer i have to make a trip to another branch so i decided id take a few things to eat for my journey as ill be up at the bright an early time of 5:30am to get my travels under way. By the time it gets to 10:30am ill be pretty hungry i think so ill be taking a little salad to go with what ever lunch i buy.
Heres what i made with what i have in the cupboards so theres no exact quantities for this unfortunatly =)
Black Bean Salad
cooked black beans
onion chopped
Red pepper chopped
cucumber chopped
carrot grated
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp tamari or soya sauce
1 if your black beans havnt been cooked soak for 8 hours or upto overnight in water. Once soaked place the black beans in fresh water and cook following packet instructions.
2 Toss all ingredients together
3 place in the fridge to let the flavours combine.
This made a nice little snack for me to enjoy in the sun and not bad for a throw together at the last minute. Ill be making ice cream this weekend so hopefully the weather will stay as nice as it has been this week.

Welcome
This is my food blog where i will be exploring many different foods. Iv done some baking over the years & really enjoy it. As I've started to branch into veganism for over a year now although not being fully vegan or fully eating a vegan diet most of what i adapt tends to become a vegan recipe in the end. My baking has taken a slight vegan shape as i no longer use eggs in what i produce. For those of you who dont know what Vegan is it menas cutting out all animal products some people choose this as a lifestyle where there food, clothing, accessories are all animal free or you have those who only live off a vegan diet choosing not to eat any animal products. You may wonder why i bother to make vegan equivalents when im not vegan well the simple answer is i love exploring food and finding something tasty.
Iv cooked a few meals but with studying on the side im finding it less uninviting to stand over the hob cooking or preparing something to go in the oven. so with the idea that im off to uni next year & my studies will be doubled ill have less time to cook so my first adventure will be slow cooking. An ideal way for me to create meals with out spending to much time on them. Iv spent much time trawling the internet & checking out my library's catalogue of books to help me along the way. Many of the titles being Vegan or Vegetarian.
After years of anxiety creating physical effects witch impaired my relationship with food iv finally started to become more comfortable again. I created this blog more as a database for myself i suppose of recipes i enjoy & have adapted. I wouldn't strictly say this is a vegan blog however most of my inspiration has come from vegan sites.
