We’ve been back in the UK for almost two weeks now and I still haven’t found my groove when it comes to cooking. The past two weeks I’ve not drafted menu plans. It’s not that I haven’t cooked some of our favourite meals, it’s that I just feel a bit lost and suspect having a plan will help. I also suspect packing away my summer wardrobe will help too. After all, out of sight, out of mind and all that.

I don’t know why, but I just feel like it’s time for a change. So, this week I’m going to try making some of our favourite recipes vegan. Hopefully this will make feeding Hubby, who’s gone vegan again, a little easier. First on my list of recipes to recreate is carrot cake. Come back on Wednesday to see how it turns out!
