Popping in to say hello 👋🏻 It feels like it Popping in to say hello 👋🏻 It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself around here and feels like it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything too! 😥 Luckily the holidays are soon upon me so I’m itching to get back into the kitchen again and create some content - my uni and teaching meals don’t really cut it for the gram sorry to say 😂 But in the mean time here’s a little glimpse of my weekend away in Queenstown, I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend, filled with lots of delicious food and happy memories 💗🐰
Sending some funky fungi vibes your way for this w Sending some funky fungi vibes your way for this week ahead 🍄💗 Can we talk about how stunning these pink oyster mushrooms are, and even more crazy is that I grew them myself from my @goodvibesfungi box! If you’ve been keeping an eye on my stories you would have seen these babies grow, and boy do they grow FAST! 🍄 When it finally came to harvesting and cooking them, I coated them in an egg wash and tossed them in almond meal and Italian herbs, made for a tasty addition to a wrap 🌯 Got a big and busy week ahead this week with my first ever week on practicum placement, which means I’m officially a student teacher for the next several weeks ahead 👩🏻‍🏫 Exciting, challenging but rewarding times ahead!
RECIPE: Crunchy Peanut Butter Blondie ⬇️⬇️ RECIPE: Crunchy Peanut Butter Blondie ⬇️⬇️ AD• Crunchy peanut butter paired with chocolate is sure to be a hit with anyone, this blondie is made with the goodness of @nutbrothers Super Crunch peanut butter! You wouldn’t even believe the secret ingredient is chickpeas 😱 • • INGREDIENTS 1x 400g tin of chickpeas drained and rinsed 1/3 cup maple syrup 1/2 cup Super Crunch Peanut Butter 1/2 cup chocolate chips 2 tbsp melted coconut oil 1/4 cup coconut sugar 2 tsp vanilla essence 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda • • METHOD: 1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius and like a square baking tin with baking paper 2. In a good processor, add all ingredients (except chocolate chips) and blend until smooth. Stir through chocolate chips. 3. Place mixture into the tin and cook for 22-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through. 4. Let it cool before cutting.
RECIPE: SWEET POTATO BROWNIE SWIPE/SAVE for reci RECIPE: SWEET POTATO BROWNIE SWIPE/SAVE for recipe ➡️➡️➡️ This is one fudgy sweet potato brownie that is sure to leave you drooling over these delicious photos 🤤 And it’s topped with a delicious chocolate and peanut butter frosting, too good ✌🏻 I personally don’t find it too sweet despite the fact it does have dates in it, plus the saltiness of the peanut butter balances out the dates. SWIPE/SAVE for recipe ➡️➡️
Pro tip: ADD CHOCCY MILK TO YOUR OVERNIGHT OATS 🍫 If you’re an overnight oats fan like I am, do yourself a favour and add some @thecollectivenz plant based chocolate milk instead of almond milk! You can thank me later 🤤 While I don’t have an exact recipe, I used rolled oats, chocolate milk (I added a few tbsp of almond milk too) 1 tsp cacao powder, 1 tsp vanilla essence and a scoop of @twoislandsco chocolate protein powder and a sprinkle of cacao nibs. Overnight oats have been a uni staple for me lately, so quick and convenient to make the night before 🍫
Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? @badbake Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? @badbakernz making the new level change a little bit more bearable with their delicious cookies 🍪 Speaking of baking and lockdown, what’s your go to lockdown baking? For me it’s always tricky things like macrons, dacquoise, croissants and today - pain au chocolat. I have no idea why I lean towards French pastries during lockdowns but I just do! 🥐🇫🇷
PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH - swipe and save for the reci PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH - swipe and save for the recipe ➡️ A crunchy peanut butter slice, made with the goodness of @twoislandsco peanut butter protein powder, @nutbrothers peanut butter and some crunchy puffed quinoa and buckwheat pieces 💗 *Add 2-3 tbsp of maple syrup to the slice mixture* And of course, it’s not a slice without a crunchy chocolate topping - too good 🥜 Hope you’re all enjoying the sun, I know I am 💛✨
Who wishes they could safely take a flight to the Who wishes they could safely take a flight to the Mediterranean right now? 🙋🏼‍♀️ (AD) While I’m not going anywhere overseas soon, my tastebuds have been with this Mediterranean inspired platter, with some delicious @elysianfoods products 🇬🇷 Think delicious creamy dips and marinated olives, all hand crafted here in New Zealand, a great opportunity for you all to support another little NZ business in these times 🫒 I opted for a pita bread, smeared with tzatziki, Greek salad and falafel 🥙🧆
