    Forgot to say the crispy shredded tofu recipe was excellent, super easy to make and really tasty. Loads of possibilities re flavour options as well. LOs for lunch today. 
    I keep meaning to try that as I keep seeing it all over the place on social media. Vegans I talk to online use tofu to make vegan kebab meat too. I'm going to amend my Asda order to add tofu and try it and your recipe too. :)

    Some people use a grater but you can also use a potato peeler.

    I used a box grater, it worked really well. I can see how a peeler would work if you wanted bigger strands.

    A miserable winter weather day here - had snowed in the early hours but the rain washed it away by mid morning. Has been grey, cold and wet all day.

    Stripped bed, dusted and hoovered plus washed kitchen floor before swimming this morning (once the snow had gone 😉). Pile of ironing and remade bed this afternoon (pillowcases were part of the ironing.

    LO chipotle chicken and black beans in a pitta with cheese and lettuce for lunch. Salmon, new potato and cherry tomato traybake with green beans tonight.

    Gets oddly warm here from tonight 🤔

    I've also seem several recipes using grated tofu and it's been on my list to try a recipe so I may try it 🙂

    Hospital visiting this morning before it rained then I came home and caught up on my washing.  My sister and I went to one of the local garden centres for a cup of tea this afternoon and shared a slice of Bakewell tart 😋 it was heavy rain by the time we came out a couple of hours later.

    Boiled eggs and soldiers for lunch.

    Turkey mince chilli with rice and tenderstem broccoli for dinner
