happy new year.

2012-01-03T09:54:00.000+10:00

so i may have taken off with no goodbye, sorry about that!
my last two weeks of work last year were stupidly hectic then all of the sudden it was christmas and i made a huge effort to stay off the internet and try to soak up the real world.
of course this killed me, not doing my daily blog stalks and posting my pretty finds here.
anyway this year is full of big plans and expectations!
2011 was okay, i finally got my license and a car.
i also got to my first weight goal, a 30kg loss!
so, productive - but boring.
this is the year my friends, i am ready for it.
it's time for adventure and change and excitement.
time waits for no man!

this is my first find of the year, something i have been looking high and low for.
a lovely planner! (found via miss moss)
i will need one to organise all these grand ideas of course.
i spent weeks stalking horrible shopping centers for one that wasn't a hideous black leather blob but no win for me.
today i found the one and i am saying hello again to etsy, i have missed you.

I bought Vegan Yum Yum when I did the Vegan Easy Challenge in March.

Although I have stayed vegan since, I have only made one dish from the book!

So this week I am trying some newbies to add to my ever-expanding dinner favourites.

Last night I made chilli lime tofu with steamed Chinese broccoli and snow peas on quinoa.

It was, AMAZING.

The sauce was all chilli/lime/soy/garlicy perfection and super tasty.

You can find the recipe here.

Yummmmmmmmm, is it leftover lunch time yet?

vegawesome!

2011-10-25T10:21:00.000+10:00

my friends and i started a new blog.
it's called vegawesome! and is all about vegan food finds and cruelty-free products.

it all started over talks about how many secret vegan things there are.
random stuff you would never think - like iced finger buns, nesquik and cottee's topping!
there are also cruelty-free products that aren't on the eco/green/boutique trend like radox body wash and face of australia make-up.
all my vegan friends and i were finding and sharing all these great non-typical finds.
so, the blog was born, i made a cute banner and we're off!
it will be updated when ever new things are found or great recipes need to be shared.

take a look and please comment or email if you have any secret vegan/cruelty-free finds so we can share it with all :)

i am one of those people that have millions of green bags, but always forget them.
i keep one or two string bags in my handbag for emergency grocery shops but still, sometimes they're just not in there.
this means i have a pile of plastic shopping bags that are re-used for other stuff.
i discovered that keeping a lettuce in a plastic shopping bag changes it's life from four days to two weeks!

there is a point to this story by the way.
i saw these awesome produce bags on lottie loves this morning and immediately thought "buy buy buy!" then of course the guilt came.
no, i will keep using my ugly grey plastic bags until i learn to stop needing them.
but, you should totally buy some, cause they're awesome.
