Vegan pizza - new recipe

Beaut pizza, literally took about 15 minutes overall which is great if you want something quick.

Need;

2 tortilla wraps
Falafel mix
Hummus
Cucumber
Tomatoes

Make falafel - buy a mixture, add water, wait five minutes until thickened (just follow the instructions on the packet). Can usually buy from most supermarkets, I have had it from Tesco and Sainsbury's - I've added a picture of the packet from Sainsbury's.

Get one tortilla wrap, spread your falafel over it, add your next wrap, spread hummus over it (we made our own by mashing chickpeas and following an online recipe, but you can buy it ready made) - bake the base for a few minutes.

Add your chopped up cucumber and tomatoes - put it over for another few minutes. Just keep checking the pizza, see whether it needs longer as it is personal preference just make sure it doesn't burn.

Jack also had balsamic vinegar on his and said it was lovely with that on it.

Your pizza should be ready to cut up - this picture is half of the pizza and 2 garlic bread slices, Jack had the other half!

Garlic bread - get a tortilla wrap, spread garlic puree and/or chopped up pieces of garlic over it and grill. It looks like their may be basil on it - Jack made it so i'll have to double check everything is right!

Excuse my lack of blogs, its exam season!

Hi guys,

Wow I've not blogged for nearly a month, due to University! Exam season is on the doorstep and I have many assessments coming up - so please bear with me during the stressful revision period :) if I make any new recipes etc I will try and upload asap.

A few foodie bits and bobs;

- I've been eating a lot of wholewheat pasta, vegan green pesto (don't assume the pesto you pick up is vegan, look on the ingredients and the front should say dairy free) cut up sun dried/normal tomatoes, spinach and sometimes with pine nuts. I usually have it for lunch, but it is suitable for lunch or dinner, is quick and easy to make and is really good for you.

- This week I bought falafel mix and made falafel burgers! I had the burger, spinach and cut up tomatoes in a bread cob. Next time I might add more bits such as lettuce and red onion. It was truly gorgeous, I adore falafel! Again, it is quick, easy, delicious and good for you.

- If you haven't tried '9bar' before, they are really tasty and healthy and are made from seeds. Check them out.

- Linda McCartney Vegetarian Sausages - I know a lot of people have tried these before, however there is a new sausage recipe that I believe is red onion and something else? I can just remember the red onion, but my gosh they are lovely! I prefer them to the original LM sausages, so definitely give them a try. I bought them in tesco, so maybe have a look there if you can't see them at your normal supermarket.

That's all I can think of for now, but definitely try some of these things, they are all delicious and so all got a special mention during this busy period in my life.

There will be new recipes coming, as I intend to try to follow some vegan recipes online, wish me luck!

Any questions, just message me :) I'm willing to support anyone who is willing to make compassionate and positive changes in their life.
