#vegan junk food
I celebrated my 5 years vegan at @jselbys with the fiancé. I had ‘the solo’ with a beyond burger patty on gluten free bread with tater tots. I can’t say enough good things about this meal. It was delicious. I kept telling my fiancé “this is crazy, it’s like a real burger” (he assured me it was not, but hey after five years without meat you never know). Also the tater tots were (I haven’t had those since high school, so the fiancé also got a laugh out of how incredible I thought they were). All I can say is 10/10 would recommend.
Made these vegan fajita bites as we had company over. I also made vegan sliders and apple pie samosas but didn’t get the chance to snap a picture (I will be sure to next time so I can jot down the recipe as it was all very improvised )
It was al last minute so I had to rustle up canapés from what we had around to house
Ingredients
1 old el'paso fajita kit (or equivalent)
2 bell peppers (I used a red and a yellow)
1 onion
Minced garlic ( I used 2 of the frozen blocks)
Vegan ‘chicken’ ( 300g. Vegan quorn fillets work well)
Vegan cheese
Spring roll wrappers ( wonton, dumpling cases would work fine too. They are in the frozen section. I got mine in Asda. If you get the large spring roll cases just cut into 4)
Method.
If using frozen quorn fillets microwave as instructed on the packet for 2 minutes cut into strips about the size of your pinky finger and set a side.
Dice onion and add to a lightly greased pan along with the garlic and sweat down until translucent.
While the onions cook down chop the peppers about the same size as the 'chicken’
Add the chicken and peppers into the pan and give a gentle mix careful not to break the pieces. Add the seasoning from the kit and cook while gently mixing ( I found a spatula the best for this)
Just before it is completely cooked add ½ -¾ of the salsa and again mix then turn of the heat and leave to cool.
Whilst the fajita mix cools cut the cheese into sticks about the size of the chicken and about a £1 in thickness.
If required cut the spring roll wrappers into 4
One the mix of cool place 1 pice of chicken, some of the peppers and a piece of cheese on top of one of the squares on the side closest to you. Wrap as you would a spring roll or burrito. Seal with a little water and repeat.
(Optional) spritz with a little spray oil.
Bake at about 190’ for 10-20 minutes or until crispy.
Serve with salsa and guacamole

Day 6. Okay so remember what I said I would post everything (no matter how un aesthetically pleasing) haha well here is the food for day six (I also omitted the water as it felt unnecessary but for those interested there was 4 bottles today)
So while this isn’t the most nutritious day it also involves one of my all time, ride or die favourite foods. To say I’m obsessed with kimchi pancakes (kimchijeon) would be a massive understatement haha.
If you want the recipe let me know! It is so easy and delicious

So after my third spoon of biscoff spread I resent my earlier excitement as ( despite how tasty) it had left me feeling like a kid the day after Halloween who ate all their candy
It has proven I haven’t grown up enough to be trusted with stuff like this haha.
It makes me want just a bowl of wholegrain rice and chickpeas and nice simple whole foods
Day 3. Busy ol’ day today and one you wouldn’t ordinarily see a food post from me haha. As you can see it wasn’t the most nutritionally complete day but I tried biscoff spread for the first time today and feel like a fool for not trying it sooner. Is it total junk? Yes but omg it’s soooo dreamy

Hit up @veganyumm this afternoon for a snack. Let’s talk about the best vegan brownies I have ever had, and the biggest choice in non-dairy milks I have ever seen!
Here are the Galaxy brownie (on the left) and the Oreo brownie (on the right). They were so fudgy and rich!
