Happy Shrove Tuesday!!!

Hey my lovelies!

It's Pancake day... and I am soooooo excited to make pancakes today. The one is just your basic, everyday, easy peasy recipe:

Ingredients
100g plain flour
2 large eggs (free range if possible)
250ml whole milk
1 tbsp butter
Small pinch of salt

Instructions
1. Mix all of the ingredients together until mixture is combined and there are no lumps (feel free to add a little extra milk to the mix if it is too dry).
2. Add 1 tsp of oil & 1 tsp of butter to a frying pan on medium heat.
3. Spoon the mixture onto the frying pan and wait for little air pockets to appear on the surface of the pancake before flipping.
4. Stack & serve with Maple Syrup.

They are delightful little bite-size pancakes that can be made from start to finish in 10 minutes!!! What isn't there to love???

Take care my lovelies. x

Mondays Dinner Plans

Hey my lovelies!

I know that I have already posted today, but I thought I would try and get into the habit of sharing my cooking with you. This is intended to be more of a "lifestyle" type blog, showcasing my life through photographs as opposed to a more specific field of interest.

So on that note, I thought it would be a fun addition to include a few of my recipes over the week, starting with tonight's dinner choice:

Beef Stir Fry

Ingredients:

Lean Diced Beef Steak

1x Red Bell Pepper

1x Yellow Bell Pepper

1x Large Onion

2x Spring Onions

1x tsp Sea Salt

1x tsp Pepper

2x tsp Paprika

2x tbsp Soy Sauce

Instructions:

1. Marinade your meat with Sea Salt, Pepper, Paprika & Soy Sauce. Add chopped spring onions.

2. Leave the marinade for 2 hours (longer if possible).

3. Fry chopped onion in a tsp of oil, until onions are translucent and beginning to caramelise slightly.

4. Add the marinaded meat to the frying pan and fry for 10 minutes on a medium heat.

5. Add chopped bell peppers to the frying pan and leave to fry for a further 5 minutes. 

6. Serve with a baked potato and green salad.

I may be bias my lovelies... but this is a truly delicious little dinner, as well as being a fairly healthy meal option for those of us who could really do with losing some lbs!!! 

Take care my lovelies. x
