Lazy Sunday | Day 5 of Lent!

So, today there really hasn't been much for me to talk about because all in all, I did very little today. Work, work, work!

As well as this, I can't find my camera charger anywhere, which is really proving a problem especially with updating this little blog!

But! All is not lost blogarinos! As I have a big post coming up soon which will blow your bloody socks off (I hope) and has lots of pictures that I took before my charger went walkabout.

So, a HUGE apology from me and as a thank you for still reading I present to you a picture of a the funniest shaped vegetable I came across last month...

Cheeky!

Speak to you soon!

Hummus! | Day 4 of Lent!

Decided to have coffee instead of my usual cuppa this morning in order to save myself from the horrible taste, which I suppose defeats the point! Oh well!

Today was a pretty lazy Saturday, but a fun one none the less!

We decided to have a go at making our own hummus. I have always thought hummus was far too complicated to make at home, with strange ingredients which would be expensive, but I was wrong!

All you need to make this really simple recipe is;

1 tin of chickpeas

Juice of half a lemon

2 cloves of garlic

1 teaspoon of ground cumin

A little pinch of salt

2 tablespoons of tahini (optional)

(I really didn't know what tahini was but apparently it is a 'sesame seed paste', which kind of tastes like peanut butter!)

So, to bring it all together, quite simply, just wizz it all together in a food processor! Then sprinkle/drizzle on top;

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon of paprica

Bob's your Uncle! Delicious!

If you have tried this recipe, let me know how it went in the comments!

Happy Valentines Day! | Day 2 of Lent!

Happy Valentines day!

I've always been a firm believer that Valentines day is all about spending time with those you love whether it be your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, children or best friends! Valentines day is all about celebrating love and the people you love in your life. 

This valentines day...I had university lectures. Dull! But after that, I spent the rest of the day with my boyfriend. (cue: aww!) We decided that for Valentines day we weren't going to do anything extra special but a couple of days before the 'big day' we realised we might as well at least go out and treat ourselves a little bit! So we decided to try to go for a meal at Wagamamas, which is an awesome Japanese restaurant which doesn't take bookings so we were much more likely to get in there than anywhere else! And it was DE-LICIOUS!

A new challenge! | Lent!

Hey! 

So, today is the first day of Lent! Lent is a period of 40 days and 40 where you challange yourself to give up (or more recently, take up) something.

So for lent this year I decided to give up taking sugar in my tea and take up doing one yoga sun salutation every day...eek!

But as another little challenge I am going to try my hardest to blog at least once every day for the whole of lent! But you will have to bare with me as I have a lot of deadlines coming up!
Whether it's just a little OOTD or an update of what I'm up to, I promise to try my hardest not to let this little blog down!

What have you given up for lent? Let me know in the comments!
