Happy Vegan Friday!
As you may know if you've been following these blogs for a while, I'm getting pretty used to keeping my diet vegan at home. My biggest challenge is keeping it vegan when I'm out of the house. But, more and more places seem to have lovely vegan options so it's starting to feel like there's really no excuse any more.
Yesterday me and Mr. SSV went to Pizza Express, one of my favourite places to eat. Their new menu clearly states which dishes are vegetarian and which are vegan. We started by sharing some olives, then I had my favourite, dough balls, for a starter. They were happy to replace the garlic butter with garlic oil, which was just as delicious. This was followed by the Vegan Giardiniera pizza - the only vegan pizza on the menu. Don't get me wrong it was absolutely delicious, but I was left wondering which other pizzas could be veganised by using their vegan mozzerella... I might try to have a different pizza next time.
To drink, I had some elderflower presse, which was lovely, it's definitely my current favourite non-alcoholic drink when I'm out.
It would be amazing if Pizza Express could maybe offer a vegan salad and/or pasta dish as well as the vegan pizza. However, I would still highly recommend a meal here for vegans or those who are vegan-curious. The options are delicious and I definitely didn't feel like I was missing out on anything.
In other news, one of my Bank Holiday weekend tasks was to cook a new and interesting vegan dish and chocolatey dessert. This was so fun and worth doing. I do get into a rut sometimes of salad wraps for lunch and pesto pasta for dinner - delicious but slightly repetitive.
I made a dish from Deliciously Ella.
I also made these chocolate brownies from Jamie Oliver's website - these really were absolutely amazing!
I love making a list of fun things to do during time off. I will definitely be making more Deliciously Ella recipes in the future - it was nice and easy plus I already had most of the ingredients in the cupboard, which is a huge plus.
I hope you have a lovely weekend. Let me know about your vegan adventures!
