Got Milk?

Ok, so I am lying in bed with my laptop, still drunk from the previous night. This is an odd experience, as I don't usually drink. I cant stand "drinking culture" and bars, and drunk people, it all seems really strange, but anyway, last night I succumbed to the liquids. This totally wasnt even what I wanted to post about.

I have written another article for Mookychick.co.uk (cue applause), it's about the dairy industry, not in depth, but it's aimed at people with no knowledge of industry. You can read it here:

Vegan Breakfasts!

I love Sunday mornings on my own (or when the Mr is asleep), I can put on some old school reggae and cook up a storm!

Cinnamon Pancakes with Soy Raspberry Iceream and Pineapple!

Use a standard pancake recipe such as one found here and just smother in icecream, fruit, maple syrup, whatever you fancy! Goes really well with coffee.

Rainbow Veggie and Tofu Scramble

This is a recipe I made up myself based on several other ones I've found in books in the past. You can add elements, take away elements,

Ingredients:
2 Slices of toast
Soy "cream cheese"
1 Baby leek
1 Floret of broccoli
1 Spring onion
1 Tomato
1 Stick of celery
Tofu (as much or little as you want)
a handful of sprouting seeds (such as aduki or mung bean)
1 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tsp Turmeric
Salt and pepper

Method
Cut all veg into smallish chunks.

Add the broccoli and leek to a small amount of boiling water, boil for 3 mins, then immerse into cold water to stop cooking, put to one side.

Squeeze tofu to drain excess water and crumble into a frying pan, add turmeric and soy sauce and fry for 5 mins, stirring regularly.

Add all veg (except tomato and sprouting seeds) into the pan with the tofu, and fry for another minute.

Spread the cream cheese onto the toast and cut both pieces in half, add the veg and tofu mix, add the tomato and sprouting seeds and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Playlist
No Sunday is complete without some old school reggae tunes to dance to while you cook! Here are my suggestions.
