Christmas Frazzle

Leave a comment

salt and vinegar twists

We’ve reached that pre-Christmas time when, regardless of how simple your planned festivities are, everything becomes really hectic. So: crisps on a plate. It is a festive plate though. And people are happily gobbling up their Tesco salt and vinegar twists as happily as they gobbled down the fancier snacks 🙂 Moral of the crisps on a plate? Don’t try too hard, don’t tire yourself out: enjoy Christmas.

Take a little walk on the beach. Breathe. Eat some crisps.

Eat Real Quinoa Corn Puffs, white Cheddar flavour, and possibly the cheesiest tasting food we’ve ever had!  We had to check the bag again to make sure a terrible mistake hadn’t been made but there was the Vegan Society Logo nestled securely in the corner 🙂 There’s some Violife Cheese cubes in there as well.

Festive recipe: White Hot Chocolate from Cat

Blue and Green Should Never Be Seen…

Except on the dress of a Faery Queen… So (one version) of the saying goes. How completely incorrect! Look how they demonstrate the perfect balance of pre-Christmas treats right there on the Christmas dish 😉

Chocolate truffles dressed up as Brussels sprouts from Asda alongside Fox’s Glacier Mints.

These Christmas Dish posts are evolving. Something homemade may even appear at some point, but for just now we’re adding one of our festive recipes each day. Today: Vegan Bread Sauce (goes well with the sprouts).
