Midweek Munchies

Hello friends. As I write this, I have a majorly stuffed up neck. I cannot move it properly to drive, or turn to look at something, or, you know, exist without it being in pain. As someone with chronic pain, I am used to dealing with being in pain, but this is a notch above my usual. Fun times. So let's distract ourselves with snacks.

This is a pantry meal I made a while ago. I was curious about these vegan cheese-stuffed ravioli, but I realised after I bought them via mail that the cheese was coconut oil, so I was wary of eating them. I sauteed up some sliced Tofurky sausages, added a super easy and yummy stir-through pasta sauce, cooked some frozen peas along with the pasta, served with some broccoli on the side, and topped all with some FYH parm. It was a good dinner.





Everyone was getting excited about this new brand of chocolate, Nomo. I bought a bar of their fruit and crunch. You know what I am going to say. Far too sweet for me, but would be great for those of you who enjoy a milky style of chocolate.



My mum got this salad dressing for her, but I ended up using it. It is SO GOOD. I've been using it with salads or with roasted veggies, but I would love to serve this as the sauce component of a tofu/rice/broccoli bowl. Highly recommend.



Yumi's is a brand that has a lot of different falafel-style bites, as well as burgers now as well. I tried these cauliflower and potato bites. They were fairly bland, but in that good way, and made a nice addition to a meal.



Someone sweet soul at work picked me up some of these Golden Oreos. We don't have all the fun flavours that you have over in the US for Oreos, and the flavoured Oreos we do have are not vegan. But the original oreos are vegan, as are these golden ones. They were much as you would expect an Oreo to be, just vanilla.



Finally, these salad toppers I got are really fun. They add a crunchy and flavourful component to any sort of salad or bowl you might be making. The seaweed one is my favourite (especially in a salad with the dressing I spoke about above), but the Tuscan one is good too. Lots of ways to use these.

Dim Sim is going in for some tests tomorrow, for something that could be scary or could be nothing. I'd appreciate all good thoughts for her. I will let people know more once I have a better idea of what is happening.
