This is one of the easiest recipes I've shared on my blog; it's so easy I thought I definately have to share.

If you're on a healthy journey or you are cutting out carbs from your diet then this will be the perfect chips/fries alternative for you.

You can either fry it or put in the oven.. I fried it and tastes sooo lush..


Ingredients:-
1 Butternut
Olive oil for frying or coconut oil
Salt,
Black pepper
Five spice or cajun (optional)
All purpose seasoning (optional)

Method:- Cut the butternut into half, slice into desired shapes and make sure you scoop out the seedy area as well... 



Dab a kitchen towel on it to dry it out.. 
Add all the spices/seasoning, let it sit for about 10 minutes and fry for 5 minutes

Drain on a kitchen towel.. Enjoy :-)

Good morning foodies.


Today 26th November is National Cake Day.

Here is a brief history on this glorious day… NATIONAL CAKE DAY.

 

 

November 26 recognizes a dessert that you will find at almost everyone’s birthday party whether they are age 1 or over 100.  It is also the dessert of choice for bridal and baby showers, wedding receptions, retirement parties and just about any social event. Add ice cream, and you have America’s top favorite desserts in the same dish!



Whether it’s a shapely cake or  the less curvaceous sheet cake, these sweet layered, frosting covered or fondant decorated works of art scream celebration!   It may be made at home from scratch, or from a box mix or picked up from the bakery or grocery store.  Whichever way, a cake can be one, or a combination of, thousands of flavours.


No one can know how many, as there are countless cake recipes, some of which are bread-like, some rich and elaborate and many are centuries old. Of Viking origin, the word cake is derived from Old Norse “kaka”.  Cake then was more like gingerbread due to the availability of refined ingredients. 



Cakes typically contain a combination of flour, sugar, eggs and butter or oil, with some variety of liquid which may be milk or water, along with a leavening agent such as yeast or baking powder. Flavourful ingredients are often added, for example; chopped nuts, fresh, candied or dried fruit, fruit purees or extracts.  Cake can be enjoyed with or without frosting or icing.

Happy Bonfire Night... Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in the United Kingdom. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London; and months later, the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act Enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure. wiki.com




Enjoy Bonfiring tonight as I will also be going to a local Bonfire place at night time :-)

It's official, after halloween the countdown to Christmas starts lol.. Today is the 1st of November, 2018 has gone by soooo quickly I can almost remember what I did this time last year.

Happy New Month to you all, are you in the festive spirit yet or are you just a last minute shopper and don't get in the mood until Christmas Eve???



Also today is World Vegan Day; it is a Month celebrated around the world as a time to recognise how far the vegan movement has come, to highlight how accessible and beneficial a vegan lifestyle can be and to encourage the vegan-curious to adopt veganism by sharing advice, recipes and ideas.



People around the world choose to mark World Vegan Month in an array of different ways. You could host a vegan lunch at work or a vegan dinner party with friends; commit to taking part in vegan outreach in your local community; share your favourite vegan recipes on social media or even challenge your friends, family or work colleagues to go vegan for 30 days.

I like a bit of a challenge so I might try and go Vegan for one week and see how I feel..

Tag us on all social media platforms below if you are vegan or you decide to go for the challenge :-)
