Billie Eilish shares footage exposing animal abuse and says "so stay f***ing mad at me" to her 124m followers. Queen!
Why are alternative milks only in small bottles?
Seriously!!! Cow tit secretions come in all fookin sizes, but then alternative milks only come in 1L bottles??? Why?? Surely alternative milks are popularised enough to sell them in larger sizes. It’s so annoying having to buy heaps of 1L bottles of soy milk. Bring the big soy milk bottles in 😭
Woolworths nugget clearance
Sorry to anyone who wanted these from my local woolies lol.
$7.10 to $3.50 is just a little too good
made poached pears for the first time 😋🍐💚
cream is flora plant cream, they're in a chai tea syrup that I reduced after to spoon over the top, and the granola/crumble topping is just oats, seeds and nuts toasted in a frypan and coated in bit of vegan oil & maple syrup 💙 delicious!! I never knew Bosc pears could actually be so good !! (always hated them growing up bc they were so hard/unripe constantly)
This soy milk is spectacular.
I highly recommend it, it’s actually really creamy and is perfect for cooking, coffee, milkshakes whatever.
I asked Dairy Australia this question and this was their response.
I hope that no one genuinely believes this because security footage of farms clearly shows otherwise.
Tips for tastier tofu nuggets
Hi all. I'm sure we've all had a disappointing "this is kinda bland" tofu experience at some time or other, owing to the fact that, well, tofu is bland.
I found myself with bland tofu nuggets until I tried this and it works.
Firstly, you want to make sure the tofu pieces are torn apart rather than cut neatly- the craggy torn edges absorb seasoning better.
Then, toss the pieces in Massel "chicken" stock powder (dry, not made up into a stock) and leave in the fridge for an hour or more. That is what's made the difference for me. The flavour sinks in pretty well.
I then do a double dredge (just a flour and water slurry, followed by a flour mix with "KFC herbs and spices" mixed in- there's heaps of recipes for the spice mix online. You probably want to go a bit light on the salt because the stock powder already has plenty.)
Deep fry, blot on paper towels and there ya go.
Lunch + shopping haul from The Green Edge, Brisbane!
Why would they do this? 😅
Bought and cooked this today before realising it has plant based cheese as well as Mozzarella! Why both? 🤔
My bad for not reading past ‘plant based cheese’
Thought a gluten free and vegan frozen pizza was too good to be true!
Panko crumbed tofu using vegan mayo (recipe below)
I made this the other night to have with veggies, from this recipe: https://plantbasedrdblog.com/2022/06/crispy-panko-tofu/
I pan fried instead of using the air fryer because I wanted that slightly oily, unhealthy, comfort food feeling 🫠 I also left out the thyme, because I didn't have any, and used so good unsweetened almond milk, as that's what I already had open.
As you can see from the second photo, I was still craving comfort food when I reheated the leftovers the next day in the air fryer and whacked it on veggies cooked in golden curry sauce 😅
Now, I've never been someone who likes mayo (went vegan 30+ years ago so it's never been part of my life), but my mum brought over the Praise Vegan Mayo despite still thinking I'm in a phase so I figured I had to use it up on something, rather than letting it expire in my cupboard before throwing it out. All I can say is HOLY shit what a game changer! Inside the crumbed tofu AND on top with srirarcha 🤌 I'm a mayo convert.. in this very specific situation lol Definitely going to air fry from scratch next time to see if it's just as good!
Curry fries - I just used the S&B curry mix. Easy peasy.
Roasted fava beans but cheaper
I really like these roasted fava beans but I find them quite expensive. Any tips on similar snack that can be bought in bulk? Or where I can get roasted fava beans for cheap?
I'm in West Sydney.
For example, indian grocers usually have roasted chickpeas in big bags. Coles also used to have roasted edamame - aldi sometimes has it now.
Greenwood grocer in North Sydney used to sell fava beans but that's too far for me now.
The Haul
Just wanted to share this haul from a few weeks back haha, apologies to anyone who might’ve visited the local Coles after we cleaned it out! 😁 Love V2 but usually a bit too pricey to justify. Freezer is still very well stocked!
Rodents
Sorry, not directly related to veganism but I don't know where else to ask this. I tried to post in askreddit but apparently this breaks the sub rules 🤨 My question is this:
I've been hearing noises in my roof that indicate the presence of rodents. I'm planning to buy a sonic repeller tomorrow, but I'm wondering if anyone knows.. if there is a nest with pups, would the mother take them with her, or would she abandon them?
Thoughts on this? (Unsure if Vegan)
Hi all, these were my favourite nice biscuits before going vegan, they used to contain whey protein but they seem to have had a recipe change.
It says they're suitable for Vegetarians not vegans but the ingredients don't contain milk or eggs, is that just because they're in the may contain allergens?
Would love some input, thanks :)
Edit: Thanks all, I've contacted Fussy Vegan so hopefully they update it :)
Snacks from Aldi?
Hey vegan fam! I have recently started doing more of my main shopping at Aldi again thanks to a redundancy last December. I remember quite a few of the snacks and biccies being accidentally vegan a couple of years ago, but quite a few of them have since changed to include milk! I'm so, so glad I was actively checking labels before buying anything.
What are your favourite sweet snacks from Aldi that are still vegan? I'm a sucker for a choccie biccie but I think I may have to relinquish such dreams for a while.
Edit: thank you all, I've got a few things I'll be trying on my next Aldi shop <3 I'm super looking forward to trying that raisin toast!
Moroccan style baked cauliflower
Found in a Woolies recipe book at the checkout a while back. Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable and this is so easy and tastes amazing! The only thing I changed was using dried cranberries instead of currants and I used the Cocobella coconut yogurt
What should I make?
I got my hands on some of this egg white powder that’s been making waves in the US vegan community. It’s the same egg white protein, but made with precision fermentation instead of chickens.
What do you think I should make?
