Good afternoon Little ones! How have you been? I'm terribly sorry that I've been away, personal life has been hectic; but I'm back again! I'm going to be writing a few more blog posts today as I've missed you guys so much. In regards to this recipe it came to mind when I was super hungry; I needed a quick fix, I looked at what I had in the fridge and BOOM dinner was made. If you are a University student then this is music to your ears. I know how busy you lot are, I'm just here to help you out :).
If you like the sound of this then give it a little read! Plus you can do whatever you want with it, make it your own.

Ingredients:

  • 50 grams pasta (I ran out of fusilli so I had to use some spaghetti as well), doesn't really matter as long as it's pasta;
  • 3 tbs mayonnaise;
  • 1 chilli;
  • 15 grams mozzarella;
  • 1 chicken leg precooked.

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Boil 500ml water and place into a medium or large pan, add the pasta and stir, cook for 10 minutes (I love my pasta al dente);
  2. when the pasta has cooked drain it and put pack into the pan;
  3. add the mayonnaise, chilli and chicken and stir until fully combined;
  4. put the pan back on the heat and finally add the cheese, stop stirring until the cheese is stringy;
  5. plate up and ... ENJOY! :D 

WHY THESE INGREDIENTS? 

Chicken:
Chicken as we all know contains an mass amount of protein, this repairs your muscles and insures that they won't rip or pull. This is crucial in your diet if you do weight-training or any form of sports. 

This is now the end of my blog post! But don't worry, I'm about to write another one! After I come back from town and finish off some Uni work. I would like to say another sorry for not posting as much recently; if you would like to know more about that, then please let me know in the comments section down below; or use my social media.
I hope you have all been ok! I love you all so very much! I will see you again today! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! :) x x x

Good morning you lovely people! How was your day yesterday? I had a gorgeous meal with my man last night, I was also meant to post this yesterday but I was so tired due to my lectures; I just wanted to hit the hay. Any how, what are you up to today? I don't have another lecture until 2 this afternoon! I can relax until then :). 
I thought that it was about time to introduce something new to my blog, so here it is! Non-vegan recipes, I will post these throughout the week, I want to reach a wider target audience; and if that means bringing non-vegan meals into the equation then so be it :).
I hope you enjoy these romantic recipe, hopefully see you in the next one :).






BEHIND THE SCENES:

Fundamentally, the story behind this meal wasn't as romantic as it portrays. Me and my other half were so stressed, due to work and our own personal life; that toppled on moving in; it just got too much. We wanted our own time together, in which we have finally obtained. We created this meal to celebrate our new chapter together; in which I was so happy and he was too. We finally have our own home; it feels amazing to share a home with my Christopher :).
As shown in the pictures above the meal wasn't vegan, Chris didn't want an entire vegan meal, which I can completely understand ; I'm not going to make him change his diet because of me; that would be so unfair. So I ate the meal with him, I'm still vegan but I'm not entirely strict about turning other people vegan; if they want to do it then so be it; but I'm not going to kick up a fuss. Especially in this circumstance, Chris wanted to have a non-vegan meal, so I agreed to let that happen; it's not a moment of weakness; it's being respectful to the people I love. 
In addition to this, I was thinking about my non-vegan friends, and they wanted me to post non-vegan recipes, so that they can recreate what I do on the internet, so here I am, giving what the people want :).

INGREDIENTS:

  • 100 grams gluten free pasta (I have to eat this pasta because gluten makes my tummy angry);
  • 50 grams spinach;
  • 50ml single cream;
  • 50 grams parmesan cheese;
  • 1 chili;
  • 2 chicken breast;
  • olive oil (for the frying pan);
  • salt

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS;

  1. Pour 500ml of boiled water into a pan, add a pitch on salt and stir;
  2. put the pasta into the pan and put the lid in-top. Then turn the power onto a low simmer (1-2), cook for 8-10 minutes;
  3. when the pasta is cooking prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into fine chunks, this will make it cook faster. 
  4. put oil in a frying pan and turn the heat to number 5, wait until it's boiling hot. When the pan has reached the correct temperature throw the chicken chunks in;
  5. drain the pasta and add the single cream, when the creamy concoction is steaming and boiling add all the spinach until it wilts (this will take around 5 minutes);
  6. add the already cooked chicken from earlier and stir well;
  7. add the parmesan and stir until there is cheese everywhere;
  8. plate up and add extra cheese on top (if you want);
  9. ENJOY!:D 

WHY THESE INGREDIENTS:

Spinach:
Abundant flavonoids in spinach act as antioxidants to keep cholesterol from oxidizing and protect your body from free radicals, particularly in the colon. The folate in spinach is good for your healthy cardiovascular system, and magnesium helps lower high blood pressure.

Chicken:
Chicken as we all know contains an mass amount of protein, this repairs your muscles and insures that they won't rip or pull. This is crucial in your diet if you do weight-training or any form of sports. In a way I had to have chicken yesterday, since I'm now back in the gym. 

This is the end of my blog post, I really hoped you enjoyed this! It was highly requested to do non-vegan recipes, I just want to give to you ALL. If you are vegan or not. I hope that you respect the way that I have chosen to do my blog; I just want to give to everyone; I want to make EVERYONE happy :).
I love you all so very much, if you have anymore questions or requests please do let me know in the comment section down below; or my social media. Have a lovely day and I will see you again later!
Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

Hello my lovely Little ones! How have you been today? The weather in the UK has been beautiful! Sun all around. I have another vegan recipe for you, I hope you enjoy. If you want to find out how to make this meal, scoot your eyes below and have a little read:).

You can check out my other pasta recipe click here!





Ingredients:

  • 100 grams of freefrom pasta, I used 50 grams of penne and 50 grams of rotini, simply because I was running low on the two and had to merge two together;
  • Freefrom red pesto sauce;
  • 25 grams of peas;
  • 1 shallot;
  • 1 garlic glove; 
  • chopped up coriander (optional);
  • salt and pepper;
  • extra virgin olive oil.
  • chili powder
Keep in mind, when cooking the pasta it can go from really hard to soft in minutes! So when you think it's nearly done to your required texture keep a close eye on it :). 

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:


  1. Boil 300ml of water and place into a medium pan, sprinkle salt and pepper and stir;
  2. put the pasta into the pot and stir; cook for 5-7 minutes;
  3. prepare the vegetables; cut up your shallots and garlic and place into a pan with extra virgin olive oil; along with the peas. Cook for 3 minutes;
  4. put chili powder in the vegetable mix and stir;
  5. drain the pasta and place back into the same pan;
  6. pour the vegetable mixture with the pasta and stir;
  7. add the red pesto sauce and stir; let it heat up for 2 minutes; 
  8. plate up and sprinkle the coriander on top;
  9. ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients? 


Pesto:
Pesto is enriched with vitamins A and C, this helps boost your immune system, this will help fight infection, while keeping you fit and healthy. Whereas vitamin A is good is amazing for you eye health; it makes them stronger as well as being a great antioxidant.

Parsley:
Parsley has a huge amount of vitamin K, this helps builds bones and heals heart disease. in addition to this, parsley also has vitamin A, which as we already know is great for our eyes, and acts as a fantastic antioxidant.

Garlic:
Depending on how we prepare our garlic depends on how much nutrients we get out of it; this is why I have suggested either: cutting or crushing. This increases the enzymes within the garlic, these enzymes can prevent cancer.
