Took the kids out to Calderglen park and enjoyed an outdoor picnic. Did I succumb to the ham rolls and crisps? No sir, not me. Made myself a lovely salad with homemade hummus and left over spicy potatoes and cauliflower curry (see day 6). Added a couple of these wee crackers- poppy seed and black onion crisps (substitute flour for buckwheat). They taste delish and you make enough dough to fill your vegan tummy for a few weeks!
For dinner I adopted a Jamie's recipe, Meatballs alla Norma. Clearly the meatballs were out and I substituted sweet chilli sauce for actual chillies and maple syrup. Put together with polenta mixed with a little cashewnut butter. It may look a little mushy but it tasted good. I could have left the sauce lumpy but I prefer processing the aubergines to break down the skin. Love the fact that I squeezed a vegan recipe out of Jamie. Don't forget that lug of oil...
Ps excited about tomorrow as it's swapsay Wednesday with Kate. Wonder what tasty treats are in store for me.
