Discoveries...


Since becoming vegetarian I have made a few awesome discoveries food wise. Thanks to other people telling me about these and also checking the veg*n rack at the local supermarket I have found some true goodies!

Tahini- a bit bitter and funny aftertaste but eat this with fresh carrot sticks and you'll be hooked in no time.

Haloumi-I haven't met a single person who doesn't liek this. Its greek cheese that is quite salty and we use it in salads pretty much everytime.

Tempeh-I first ate this art a vegan restaurant. It was so good i bought my own and checked out a few recipe sites for it. Don't get out off by its looks. Yes its not very appetizing to look at...but yummy once cooked! Here's a good recipe site: www.tempeh.info

Felaffel mix- Easy peasy just add water mix. Simple and really yummy. My favourite brand is Eskal and I'm pretty sure you can buy this at most supermarkets. USe this as mince to make vegetarian Spaghetti Bolognese or meatballs.

Tartex-This is a vegetarian (if not vegan) spread ideal for toast or crackers. Available at most health food stores.

Vegie Sausages-The best to bring to any barbeque. My favourite brand is Sanitarium...so yummy!

Oat Milk-I first found out about Oat Milk through reading a recipe for vegan cupcakes from the unleashed site. Infact the recipe was one of our first posts on this blog! So I bought some, made cupcakes, hot chocolate and coffee with it and decided that it was a really alternative to milk. My friends were a bit sceptic about trying it but soon enough they loved it!

Hope this helps out a fair bit. Also please share if you have found any yummy food things that you absolutely love.

Yum Yum Yum!
