5 Housemates £10 = Making a yummy dinner for everyone!

So everyone i live with are omnivores, but they are open to try vegan foods, and so to cheer us all up at the weekend i decided to cook us a budget meal.

Pitta bread packets x2: £0.58 Each

Vegtables mix to roast: £0.75

Couscous: Free, already had it.

Tomato mixed mushrooms and peppers: Made by Housemate Robyn.

Houmous: Made By Housemate Josh

Everything was cooked with garlic, olive oil, herbs and stock cubes. and it took 45mins!

Sucess!!!!

Oh and everything was eaten!!!

Coconut Curry

ok, granted it looks awful, but whatever.
I'll make it better later and put a recepie with it!

Coconut cakes!

To make 12 coconut cakes:

• 2 "eggs" worth of egg replacer + water
• 4oz self-rasing flour
• 4oz sugar
• 4oz vegan butter
• 2-3oz shredded dried coconut
• dark chocolate

To cook:

• Mix everything dry in a bowl, then mix with butter, then add water last till a smooth-ish texture.
• Scoop into the cases
• bake at 180 degrees for about 30mins, or until brown
• melt dark chocolate over a bowl of hot water
• drizzle with a spoon!
  

These cakes turn out really light and fluffy! I have baked vegan cakes for years and can never get this light fluffy texture without the use of egg-replacer, i have tried oil, soya milk and banana alternatives but egg-replacer works best in my opinion!

Even my non-vegan housemates love them! (in fact i had to cook two batches in two days!)

Banana Bread!

Ok, so it was supposed to be banana cake, but i apparantly forgot how to cook it and had banana bread instead.

go figure.

I can't tell you how to make it because i didn't mesure anything o.O but i can tell you whats in it!

• Molasses sugar
• 3banana's
• 2 teaspoons of oil
• self-raising flour
• baking powder

Think thats it... if you think anything here isn't vegan, hit me up, there are always those sneaky little non-labled things.

It wasn't bad, if left overnight then sliced thinner, it makes a good sweet breakfast bread for jam!
