never…

…lose track of which street you need to run down to get back to your start/finish line.
Basically, that’s what I did and struggled to get back to the office on time. The run is below and took me 50 minutes to do around 8km. This was with stops for traffic lights and also [...]

everything swell

With all the exercise I’ve completed this week, after minimal exercise in previous weeks, you’d think I’d be extremely sore and tight. Surprisingly, I’m only a little tight and not really sore at all.
Last night, whilst doing the leg routine, I also did some boxing then some intense goalie training. This involved sprinting [...]

red, red wine tempeh and chickpea casserole

 
 
 

Sorry for the play on words, but the title just soooo reminded me of the song with the words “Red, red wine”…
As a follow on from yesterday, I’ve made a tempeh beef flavoured version of this dish with different vegies. Apologies for the photo quality, these are with my phone camera until I’m motivated [...]

the next day

Last night I ended up doing about 10-15 minutes of the i-train session 9 and decided I wasn’t really in the mood for it.
I then decided to head off for a run around West Melton to force myself to exercise. I’m not sure, I think I actually like running now rather than being stuck [...]

Recipe: Spicy Mock Chicken and Bean Soup

 

Lunch today was taken from the latest Australian version of Oxygen magazine. I’ve adapted it a little to make a vegetarian/vegan version without the tortillas. This is a very quick meal to make also!

It’s a little spicy but very delicious and nice warm dish for the coming cold winter. I wouldn’t [...]

I love vegemite! Yes, I know it’s an aqcuired taste and mainly aussies love it, but these little numbers are delicious for breakfast, lunch or tea!
I made these this morning for brekky. I usually have the baker’s delight version for lunch occasionally when I can’t be bothered making a sandwich or [...]

Recipe: Macaroni and Cheese with Vegetarian Hot Dogs

The same day I made the pesto pasta, I decided to make this scrumptious dish! I thought this would be another easy dish to make and to let sit for reheating whilst coming back from hockey training.
This one is certainly a quick dish to make and sit and go do something else whilst you’re [...]

Recipe: Rocket Pesto Pasta

I was checking out my RSS feeds for some ideas on food for tea last night, when I came across the Pistachio Arugula Pesto with Penne and Sauteed Broccolini picture on VeganYumYum’s site.
I’m not really one to follow recipes and after seeing this I decided to come up with my own little variation of this [...]
