Welcome again Little ones! How are you today? I feel the autumn hitting, the leaves are turning and I love it. I've been having a relaxing day today, it was also my Mothers Birthday! She was ever so happy with what I bought her :). Other than spending time with her I thought that it was about time to experiment in the kitchen and make another vegan recipe! So here it is ladies and gents! Get in that kitchen and start cooking!

INGREDIENTS:

• 200 grams self-raising flour;
• salt;
• 50 grams caster sugar;
• 50 grams coconut oil (put in the fridge before use, this is your butter subsistence);
• 15ml almond milk;
• 25 grams frozen raspberries.

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees;
2. prepare baking tray: brush on vegetable oil onto a baking pan and place over grease-proof paper, this is where you will place your cakes later;
3. Sift the flour and pinch of salt into a large bowl;
4. take the coconut oil out of the fridge, this should be solid enough to place into the flour, you should then rub the flour and coconut oil together until it forms fine breadcrumbs;
5. put the caster sugar into the flour mixture and mix until well combined;
6. put in the raspberries and mix until well combined, there should be a raspberry in every bite of the rock-cake;
7. pour in the almond milk, stir until all the cake batter has joined together;
8. take some of the mixture into your hands and place onto the baking sheet you prepared earlier. Make a circle, but do it imperfectly (as shown in the first picture), this makes it more authentic;
9. repeat stage 8 until all the mixture has been used up;
10. put into the oven for 15 minutes, you know they are done when the edges are golden brown;
11. put onto a plate and ENJOY! :D 

WHY THESE INGREDIENTS? 

Raspberry:
Raspberries is one of the greatest antioxidant foods, it cleanses the body and makes you feel great inside. As well as being super delicious, raspberries can also prevent cancer, science studies have shown this.

Almond milk:

Almond milk is filled with potassium, this helps prepare and enhance: cells, tissue and organs in the human body. This is essential in everyday life, you always need to repair yourself.

Coconut oil:
Coconut oil high in natural saturated fats. Saturated fats not only increase the healthy cholesterol (known as HDL) in your body, but also help to convert the LDL “bad” cholesterol into good cholesterols. So if you are on a high fat diet, try coconut oil instead, it will benefit your heart at the end of the day.

Ok Little ones! This is the time where I depart, but don't you worry I will be back later on with something new! Sounds exciting right?! I will be introducing a new segment to my blog entirely; find out later on by following my social media! :D 
It was fun making these bundles of joys, please show me your recreations, or tell me if you loved them, I know me and my boyfriend did :).
Any how, I love you all so very much, see you again soon! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :)

Good afternoon! Change of plans, but I thought that I would give you another vegan recipe! I love experimenting with different fruits; and I'm always in the mood for a good old smoothie! So I decided to share my creation with you!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! If you want to know how to make this, have a little look below and enjoy! :D 

If you want to see another vegan recipe, click here!

Ingredients:

• 1 watermelon;
• 25ml orange juice;
• 25 grams vegan yogurt, (I used alpro raspberry).

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

1. Prepare your fruit: cut the watermelon in half, and half again; this makes quarters, ( as shown in the pictures above). After you have done this, slice the quarters so that they are in strips. Cut around the melon and the skin so you are left with the red flesh. Cut these into cubes;
2. put the watermelon into the blender and add the orange and the yogurt;
3. blend for a few seconds, because watermelon is a water based fruit the smoothie won't be lumpy;
4. ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients?

Watermelon:
Watermelon's are filled with vitamins A, B6 and C, and is also an amazing antioxidant. Vitamin C is amazing for the skin, it replenishes the several layers of skin, as well as keeping it hydrated and firm. Vitamin C is common in skin care brands, as it has a multitude of benefits for the skin. As well as this, watermelon also fights infections and builds the immune system. 

Orange:

Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C. They are also a very good source of dietary fiber. Just like the watermelon, oranges are great for the skin. When I make a facial mask oranges are my go to ingredient; not only do they smell great; but they feel fantastic on the skin; it makes me feel awake. 

I hope your day has been amazing so far, and if not, then make it great! I know that I will hopefully be posting another blog post this evening; but I will be heading to my boyfriend's for dinner :).
You will hear from me soon though! Stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

Good morning! How are you doing today? I know it's early, but I have another vegan recipe for you! I made this last night, and it has made so much of an impact! It's super delicious and easy to make! I hope you enjoy this recipe; I put a lot of thought and hard work into it :) 

If you want to see how this is made, follow the few easy steps down below :)

P.S, I didn't take pictures of when they came out of the oven because they were eaten in a flash! I was super hungry, and so was my boyfriends family, I'm so glad they enjoyed my cooking :) 

I would also recommend one per person, as they are super filling!  

Ingredients:

• 3 peppers (colour of your choice);
• 300 grams kidney beans; 
• 2 garlic gloves; 
• 25 grams sweetcorn; 
• 1 onion; 
• chili powder; 
• parsley; 
• salt and pepper;
• 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil.
  This is the amount of ingredients to make 6, but I was feeding a family of 6. If you need to alter the measurements for just one you can do that as well :). 

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

1. Preheat your oven to 180;
2. prepare all your vegetables: chop the peppers in half and take out the core, dice the onion, drain the kidney beans, drain the sweetcorn, dice the garlic and chop the parsley;
3. put all the prepared veg (except the peppers) in a large bowl; 
4. pour 1 tbs of extra virgin olive oil and mix;
5. add the chili powder, salt, pepper, and parsley and mix again;
6. mash the mixture with a masher,(or folk);
7. spoon the mixture into the peppers; 
8. place on a baking tray with grease proof paper, and cook for 20 minutes; 
9. plate up and ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients?

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.

Onion:
Onions are a great antioxidant, they also contain low fat saturation, this won't clog up your arteries, as it reduces cholesterol, in comparison to a normal red or green onion, this is so much better for your mental and physical health.

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.

Kidney beans:
Kidney beans are an excellent source of molybdenum. They also contain a very good source of folate, dietary fiber, and copper. This builds the immune system and also improves the metabolism, it speeds it up. This is handy when you need to loose weight as everything passes through quickly. 

Thank you for reading this blog post, I really hope you enjoy this meal, this is one of my favourites, if not my favourite! I'm so happy that I made this, and that the people I served it to really enjoyed it! I want to know what you think! I would also love to see your recreations!
Show me and contact me on my social media platforms above and below this blog post :D
Have a lovely day and see you soon! Stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

Vegan Recipe

Strawberry pancake recipe: 

Good morning everyone! How are you feeling today? I'm up and early to give you another new recipe! You can have these piles of fun for breakfast! They are filling and long lasting. If you want to look on how to make these tasty treats, look below and follow my simple steps :).

If you want to see other vegan recipe click here!

Ingredients:

• 100 grams self-raising flour;
• 100 ml almond milk;
• 8 strawberries and (extra for decoration-optional);
• 2tbs olive oil
• salt;
• golden syrup (optional).

Top tip: The strawberries have a very high water content, when you mix them in with the batter in thins it out. Also when you cut into them they are gooey; but it's only the strawberries excess water coming through.  

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

1. Put your pan on a low heat (setting 2-3); this ensures that when you've made the batter the pan would heat up enough. You don't want a high setting as it will burn the surface and leave the inside raw;
2. sift the flour into a bowl and add a sprinkle of salt;
3. pour in the almond milk and mixed till combined;
4. add the oil and mix until the mixture is elastic; 
5. add the strawberries, take a fork and crush them into the mixture; this method ensures that you will have tiny strawberry pieces in your pancake;
6. spoon in a small or large amount of mixture (depends how big you want your pancakes); and place them into the center of the pan;
7. put a tiny amount of oil on the pan before hand, don't want them to stick;
8. cook one side for two minutes, flip over and cook the other side for two minutes;
9. repeat this process until you have no mixture left;
10. put your extra toppings on the side, this would be the stawberries and golden syrup for me;
11. ENJOY! :D

Why these ingredients? 

Strawberries:

A strawberry is an excellent antioxidant, this means that they are the first call when it comes to fighting diseases in the body; they also prevent causing other damage to other cells. Strawberries also donate electrons to unstable free radicals. This means that they don't have to take electrons from innocent cells.

Almond milk:

Almond milk is filled with potassium, this helps prepare and enhance: cells, tissue and organs in the human body. This is essential in everyday life, you always need to repair yourself.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I would love to see your recreations! Post them on Instagram or Twitter!
I hope you have a lovely day, and I will see you soon! Stay tuned Little ones :) x x x
