Happy weekend, guys! Ours has been a roller coaster of emotions so far and there is more to come, I’m sure. We finally got our house keys yesterday and were able to go back to OUR (still doesn’t feel like it) house to check it out, measure things and ponder the best course of action. The house looked really weird without any furniture in it and even though we knew this would happen, it freaked us out a little as it exposed a lot of small niggles that were hiding behind things and also made the place look much smaller....

It’s been a long time since I last made a cake and even though I was supposed to hold off until January is officially over, I could not help myself. Plus, I have something to celebrate so I thought, what the heck, I shall make a cake for Friday! I’m celebrating my first anniversary of being a full-time blogger! How cool is that? I cannot believe that it has been a full year since me and my (now) fiancé launched Lazy Cat Kitchen....

Happy weekend everyone! As summer is sadly (for those of us who haven’t experienced much summer in the UK this year) coming to an end, I’ve had a hankering for something baked with blueberries. I already have a bunch of blueberry themed desserts on the website (including these Polish blueberry buns, this delicious blueberry & lemon loaf and a blueberry studded cheesecake), but I have not yet made vegan blueberry scones so here they are....

It’s firmly autumn here now. There is a distinct chill in the air, the leaves are turning yellow, orange and red and rustle underfoot. And to my poor cat’s terror, there is an odd firework explosion here and there in anticipation of Guy Fawkes’ Day on 5th November. It’s the season to be cosy, isn’t it? In the evenings I gravitate to my blanket, my sofa and my cat gravitates to me and we huddle cosily together while Duncan thrashes himself in his kayak in a freezing cold Welsh river (local Wye river, where he used to go, has been destroyed by the waste water that ‘free-range’ egg farms spew into it with impunity)....

I’m sitting at in Bristol Airport as I write this, waiting to board a plane flight to Krakow. I have not visited since the cold snap, so I am looking forward to touching down and seeing all my family and friends. As always before any holiday, I’ve been working double hard in preparation for it, so I’m really looking forward to putting my feet up. I plan on catching up with my family, leisurely sipping coffee with friends in town, checking out some new vegan food joints, watching the world go by and enjoying beautiful September weather....

I must say I didn’t quite understand the fuss about baking without eggs until I attempted to bake a vegan version of my all time favourite: chocolate brownies. Now, that’s a challenge! I rose to it and over the past couple of weeks made about 15 different brownie versions. Some landed straight in the bin (even though I HATE binning food), others have been eaten by us or my neighbour, Suzie, who has kindly volunteered to do taste testing of all sweet stuff I make....

Are you guys ready to put your feet up? I certainly am. This past week has been manic and we have had a big health scare, which turned out to be a false alarm luckily but it did stress us both out no end, caused some unpleasant emotions and disrupted sleep so I am not feeling my best. After I hit publish on this recipe, I intend to do nothing (well, less at least) for a week....

If you’ve been reading my blog for long enough, you must know that I am massive fan of aquafaba and I use it in my cooking all the time. I first stumbled across it in 2015 and have experimented with it ever since. The vegan chocolate mousse video we did back in July 2015 went viral and I’ve since used it to make so many things I lost count, but its application to make delicate mousses that even non-vegans rave about still blows my mind....

I’ve had several requests for another pierogi recipe and, while I was dragging my feet a bit, I finally rolled up my sleeves (metaphorically and literally) and made a mountain of spinach and tofu ricotta pierogi. They are not difficult to make, just a bit time consuming. As I get to watch how quickly a massive plate of pierogi disappears down Duncan’s mouth with seemingly limitless appetite for more, I realise that it’s both a compliment and a nuisance....

Happy weekend, guys! Hope you have some relaxing things planned? We are really excited as finally, after almost a month (we started on 2nd August), we will be able to take a proper shower tomorrow morning. It’s funny how some deprivation makes you appreciate basic comforts again, like warm water pouring on your face from a height without the need for a bucket, a pouring jug, a garden hose or any other mechanisms we’ve had to employ to keep ourselves acceptably clean for a month 😉 ....

Jump to:Beets BroccoliBrussels SproutsCabbageCarrotsCauliflowerCitrus Fruits Kale Potatoes Radish Winter SquashSweet Potatoes💬 Comments Beets My mom never liked beets growing up but I’ve come to really appreciate them in more recent times. They’re just the right amount of sweet, and pair perfectly with salty and earthy notes (think goat cheese, yum!) I love roasting beets and then adding them to salad, sometimes I even add them to my smoothies to give it a more sweet and filling flavor....

Are you ready? Bake them. Don’t fry them. Why, you ask? Well, for me, it’s not for health reasons (although baking things instead of frying them does lessen the fat content of your food). It’s because baking them dehydrates them from the inside out, so you end up with a firm veggie burger that stays intact rather than a veggie burger that looks beautiful at first and then smushes out the side of the bun the second you take a bite, ending up with a huge mess....

It’s prepared in an Instant pot and it’s gluten-free and vegetarian. This recipe originated in India and made its way to Pakistan. This easy Pakistani lentil recipe can be prepared in minutes. While Masoor Dal may lack the vibrant hue found in a blend of Moong and Masoor Dal, its exceptional flavor makes it a favorite among all....

This past week, I committed to being way more serious about regular (that’s the key word) meditation, yoga and exercise (running for the moment). I did meditation and yoga twice a day most days and ran every other day. It’s a small sample size, but I can feel the positive effects already. And I am getting much better at meditation too, something I never thought I would be able to say....

A while ago, I’ve confessed to being a falafel fiend. I mean, who wouldn’t like these tasty little nuggets, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside? They are SO satisfying to bite into. The only thing I struggle with is having to fry them in oil, which is why I do not make them very often. I mean, it’s okay now and again, but not the healthiest of choices....

This is the burden I have to bear as a girl who loves both food and bargains. So now I find myself with a surplus of blueberries and peaches. So I made these DELICIOUS Banana Blueberry Oat Muffins, made with 100% whole grains and absolutely no refined sugar! It’s a good thing I bought blueberries in bulk because it took me several attempts to get this right. Baking with whole grains is much different than baking with all-purpose flour....

The chicken is marinated in simple pantry ingredients, before being brushed with a drool-worthy ”bang bang sauce” (a mix of whole-egg mayonnaise and sweet chilli sauce) and oven-baked. If you think mayonnaise in a marinade sounds weird, this recipe will change that forever. The flavour is just AMAZING. I’ve made this for dinner several times in the last few weeks because it’s just so quick and easy. Marinate the chicken, pop it in the oven and then dinner is on the table in less than 30 minutes, with minimal effort and minimal time spent in the kitchen....
