Marinated Tofu

by lifethehollywayupdated on June 19, 2020June 19, 20201 Comment on Marinated Tofu

My husband loves this marinaded tofu. I have heard similar recipes called ‘tofu bacon’ but, having never eaten bacon myself, I cannot claim its similarity. All I know is that it’s delicious and easy to make so I highly recommend you give it a try. 1 pack of firm tofu (not silken tofu as it’s …

by lifethehollywayupdated on May 25, 2020May 25, 2020Leave a Comment on How to Have a Zero Waste Period

When it comes to periods, there is a lot to deal with: from managing cramps, mood swings and skin breakouts to low energy and food cravings. It can be difficult to have a spare thought for what happens to our period products when we’re finished with them. One person uses approximately 11,000 disposable pads and …

Vegan Kimchi Stir Fry

Last week I happily received a fresh batch of kimchi from my Mum. She made it using this Happy Pear recipe and it’s absolutely delicious. Kimchi is great for your digestion and has a load of health benefits. I used Mum’s kimchi to make this easy stir fry based loosely on a Korean Kimchi Udon …

Easy Vegan Dahl

I have a notebook that I’ve used as a handwritten recipe book since I moved away from home at 18. I asked my Mum for our favourite recipes and copied them from her cookbook collection, making adaptations as I went along as my Mum never makes anything exactly as the recipe states. In this book …

Vegan Anniversary!

by lifethehollywayupdated on May 10, 2020December 20, 2018Leave a Comment on Vegan Anniversary!

This time last year I was gearing up to attempt Veganuary 2018. My Mum had become vegan in the Summer of 2017 so we had already had lots of fun experimenting with recipes for vegan cheese sauce, snacks and desserts. I had been a life-long vegetarian and knew that a vegan lifestyle was possible but …

Visible Mending – Boro Sashiko Jeans

by lifethehollywayupdated on May 10, 2020December 14, 2018Leave a Comment on Visible Mending – Boro Sashiko Jeans

I get through jeans at an alarming rate. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I spend (although the most I’ve ever spent is £40 and they stretched out quicker than any of them). I think I’m a naturally messy person. I suppose it comes from ‘doing things’: I get grass stains from sitting outside, …

Slowing Down at Chateau Montfreville

by lifethehollywayupdated on May 5, 2020September 15, 2018Leave a Comment on Slowing Down at Chateau Montfreville

As much as I love a European city break, camping is where it’s at for me right now. Longer term readers will know that I am fairly obsessed with camping at West Dean Chilli Fiesta (Summer round-up to follow). This year we extended our UK camping weekend into a French camping week and I don’t mean …

Mexican Tortilla Bowls

Sometimes you have to take a cold hard look in the fridge and realise that this week you shopped for no recipes. You picked up the usual weekly stuff (bread, crisps, salad, hummus) and the odd impulsive item (chocolate soya milk, raspberries, agave syrup) but during the week you go through the kitchen to realise …

I always have a project or two lined up. Next up is crocheting plarn. Plarn (plastic yarn) can be made from old plastic food bags and used to crochet things like little pot cosies and baskets. This aim has a few prerequisites: that I can make plarn and that I can crochet. I can, at …

As part of a self-care themed day off work I decided to have a go at making Adrienne Mishler’s Yoga Mat Spray. If you haven’t yet seen any of Adrienne’s Yoga with Adrienne videos I urge you to ditch this blog right now and watch one. But please come back. I need the external gratification of …
