I got a lasagne on 50% off sale from the ready meals section of The Green Edge, as it was expiring that day. Popped it in the freezer, and it defrosted and reheated a treat for when I was ready to enjoy it.
These are a from a new range of soups that Continental has brought out. Not all of them a vegan, so you need to check. But these four are vegan and have no chili in them. As you can see, they are full of very silly ingredients, so right up my alley. Stay tuned for updated on what I thought about them, as I am still working my way through them.
This cheezy sauce is pretty handy, you can just whisk it up with cold water to add to bakes, or you can heat it gently on the stove for a hot cheesy sauce. It also has a bunch of suggested additions to make all sorts of themed sauces.
I tried one of these Chris's Plant Based spreads before, the spring onion one, and I hated it. But I am happy to report that this one is delicious! Definitely recommend on crackers, veggies sticks, sandwiches, salads, whatever.
I got these two fun seasoning salts at The Green Edge one day. They turmeric one is tasty, but my favourite is the dill and garlic ranch blend.
This dairy-free tomato pesto is nice, but so oily (as store-bought pestos tend to be). I used it to make a pasta bake, that will appear in a future recipe round-up. I don't think I would buy it again, simply because of the oiliness. But that is my personal preference. No shade on oil in general, it just makes me feel a bit sick if I eat things that are too oily.

Today marks one week since starting oral chemo for her bladder tumour, and we are heading in to the oncologist this afternoon for our first recheck. Wish her luck please!
Wishing you so much luck, you sweet beauty!
ReplyDeleteThank you! <3
DeleteGood luck, Dim Sum!
ReplyDeleteAlso, LASAGNA! How I've missed it! Now that it is have-the-oven-on weather I really should go back to making lasagna.
Yessss! I had a good time with lasagne this winter.
DeleteI agree about store bought pesto. I don't know why they use so much oil when it doesn't need it. My stomach feels off if I have too many oily things too.
ReplyDeleteDim Sim, me and my crew are wishing you all the luck we have!!! Stay strong!!
Thank you!
DeleteI am sorry that you too suffer from the too oily-ness of things.
Good luck, Dim Sim! And that sweet potato cashew spread sounds really good. Smart move with that lasagna!
ReplyDeleteI will buy and freeze anything that looks good and has a decent sale price!
DeleteThe dill & garlic ranch blend sounds perfect -- what have you used it on so far?
ReplyDeleteDim Sim, you are so brave and strong! <3
I have sprinkled it on some roasted asparagus, and most recently had some on some fresh tomato. Very yum! Going to roast some potatoes with it soon.
