Not done mine yet - it's one of my jobs for later.

Thinking:
something with rice and peas, now I've seen yours!

haloumi and vege kebabs, because dd2 is having a haloumi craze

veggie chilli with guacamole, because dp has been mithering for it

quiche and salad - I might make two quiches as I fancy trying something new but dd2 only ever wants cheese and onion

some sort of curry, because it's obligatory!

something with chips, for a lazy meal

Lentil & mushroom ragu sounds immense, can you share the recipe pretty please? I have loads of lentils I want to use up - I know they won't go off but I don't want them to languish too long. Plus I love a lentil, but don't really ever know what to do with them.

I second the request for the ragu please queen. I reckon that sounds like it would be tasty with polenta.

How's your vegan month going lastqueen? I know lots of your food tends toward vegan anyway, are you missing cheese? Thread derailment but wondered what the shift was for and if it's a permanent change?

We're off camping tomorrow so I've made a ton of vegan burgers and will mainly subsist on them and snacks all week until we reward ourselves with a luxury hotel at the end of the trip!

I miss chocolate more than anything! I will definitely eat much much much more vegan food, maybe do 3/4 days vegan a week after this? But I wouldn't stick to it forever. I have been dreaming about malteasers haha

Yeah fair play - my move towards veganism has been happening since moving to the states where chocolate and cheese is rubbish!
