The thugs promised me a relaxing-ass evening if I made this yummy pasta dish: Swiss chard and tomato linguine with balsamic-glazed chickpeas. I’ve gotta say, I friggin needed to relax. Stress levels were creeping up to high. I hadn’t noticed just how tense I was, but you realise you’re stressed when your jaw starts to…

Don’t Fear the Cauliflower
Shit. It’s been 12 days since I last posted. With 22 days and 21 recipes left this laziness will not stand. We are nearing the sprint at the end of the marathon. I think I’m gonna have to cook and blog nearly every day now to make the deadline. When we ran the sprint at school my…
Gotcha Some Creamy Horchata
The challenge: To cook all 115 recipes from the Thug Kitchen cookbook (the BEST cookbook in the world, I’ve decided) within 365 days. 83 days left of challenge, and 36 recipes left to cook. This time I made the Creamy Horchata from page 138. And I’ve gotta say this is the first recipe I’ve not been…

The challenge: To cook all 115 Thug Kitchen recipes from their first cookbook within 365 days (AKA the year I learnt how to cook vegan whilst burning and breaking a lot of stuff…
Garlic Frenzy and Wilted Greens
THE most healing food EVER in my not so humble opinion is garlic. If there is one plant/herb/miracle food that I could NOT give up it would be garlic. One of my best friends/cousins/partners-in-crime has a husband that can’t stand garlic, so when he’s out-of-town we throw little ‘garlic parties’ and I swear to you we…
Pinto Pretenders
Okay, so I’ve been dying to try the BBQ Burritos with the grilled peach salsa. The peach salsa especially. It looks so mouthwateringly-good in the cookbook. I bought all the stuff to make it, and then BAAAM!! Got a stomach bug and was out of action for 24 hours. Then I wanted to wait another…
Taco Tuesday…wtf is a jicama?
Okay…so the lentil tacos are tasty as hell, ESPECIALLY the sweet fresh herb salsa. I would never have thought of combining those flavours into a salsa to go with tacos. These Thugs are geniuses. But….I did sort of…divert from the recipe a little…sort of accidentally? Well…unintentionally. I didn’t read through the recipe properly in the…
