My sister and her bean and broccoli crumble

My sister brought home a book called 'Vegan cooking for one'. She liked the look of the 'Aduki bean and vegetable crumble' and kindly doubled the recipe so we could share. She had to modify the ingredients a bit because we had no aduki beans but did have a random collection of other beans. It was really yummy and her to want to make it again! It was odd having a savoury crumble as she normally makes apple crumble (also yum. She could make me more of that too). I think if we had some wholemeal flour it would have tasted a bit more wholesome or I'm thinking breadcrumbs would have been good too. Definitely worth a try again. Thanks again sister!

Quesadilla

I'm not sure how to say the name but it tasted good. I'm not sure if it was a quesadilla really as I have never made or eaten one before but it was a good improvisation. I fried pepper and courgette. I then put salsa on the bottom wrap then the veg then the cheese and added a bit of garlic powder. I suddenly thought of grilling the wraps first to make it sturdier but only remembered this in time to do the top one. I baked the quesadilla in the oven gas mark 4 for about 5 minutes until it looked crispy. Very tasty. Fairly easy comfort food. To improve it I would have grilled both wraps as it was hard to eat with a floppy bottom!

...and the cheese was good.

Mexican suprise

I'm hungry. I have just moved back home for a while and I have all my defrosted food to eat up. Last night we cooked a whole bag of peas that had defrosted on the way home and a whole bag of broccoli. I also have a lot of bread.

For ages I have been trying to find a vegan cheese I like. As a life long vegan cheese has not been of much interest to me but in the last few years as I have become more adventurous i've become curious. I have tried many different types. At the Brighton vegan fayre I tried a few of the tasters but they made me feel really sick. However, I have persevered and found that I like melty Gouda and melty mozarrella but now need to find recipes to enjoy these!

My boyfriends flatmates very kindly made me fajitas and after a long day at uni and travelling home I fell in love with them (the fajitas but also slightly the flatmates).

So I am now going to experiement with left over wraps, vegan cheese and salsa. Inspired by quesadillas. Lets see what happens....
