The not fun side of cooking, when things go wrong 😭 The vegan moussaka was nearly not vegan 😂 I’m not good with blood, it was so traumatic, probably the worst I’ve done. The bandages are off now and it is starting to heal. I’m back in the kitchen on Friday so it’s gotta be better enough by then. That’s the life of a cook, another scar to add to the collection of cuts and burns

Here is where we are at this month selling our gluten free, vegan and nut free cupcakes. Hope to see you at one of these events 😊

These treats are for everyone, but for those who usually miss out or have limited options because they are gluten free, egg free, dairy free, nut free or vegan or might have more than one allergy/intolerance/dietary preference and can't find anything to eat - these are for you ❤️

3 MARKET IN 8 DAYS - I'M TIRED!!!

First market - lots of people, ok sales
Second market - amazing, great market, sold out
Third market - so stressful, extreme wind, hanging on to everything, average sales, lots of cupcakes left over

Over a week of long hours, lots of standing, lots of hard work, and soooooo many dishes

One hard day today left me thinking
What am I doing?
Why am I doing this?
What am I even trying to achieve?

I am trying to remind myself that one bad market doesn’t make it all bad

Everyone else who has long lines and sells out quickly probably started where I am - doubting themselves, feeling lost, wondering what it is all for and taking years to get where they are now

I have decided I need to create a mission statement to remind me why I am doing this when it all gets hard

I need to take it one market at a time

Remind myself that I am starting to get repeat customers and that I make some people very happy when they realise they can have everything I sell because they can't eat anything else at the market

Now it's time to rest before getting ready for the next market

Yummy Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies stuffed with marshmallows and more chocolate. Vegan, Gluten Free, Nut Free and Soy Free and tastes soooo good 😋😋😋

These have been tested and tasted and you wouldn't know they were gluten free. My husband couldn't stop eating them.

I'm bringing these to The Vegan Vegout tomorrow night.
