♥ VALENTINES DAY BREAKFAST ♥

Hey girls,
So Valentines Day is quickly approaching and I have a couple of food ideas that I think would be perfect for the day so this is the first recipe of more to come. If you haven't had time to buy a present then your gift to your special someone can be breakfast in bed!

Ingredients:

2 eggs

Onion

Tomato

Chives

Spring Onions

Parmesan Cheese

Hash Browns

Toast Decorator

Ice Cube Tray

Juice

Step 1: Omelet

a.) Dice up your ingredients and put them to the side.

b.) With a fork, beat up your eggs in a bowl.

c.) You can add any spices or herbs that you would like to.

d.) Pour into onto a lightly greased pan too cook.

Step 2: Hashbrowns

You can cook your hashbrowns in the oven, microwave on crisp function, light pan fry or deep fry.

Step 3: Toast

I found this super adorable toast design that print the message "I Love You" on your toast, I thought it was a super cute touch and perfect for Valentines Day!

Step 4: Presentation

To make things look a little nicer you can add some grated cheese and spring onions to your omelet and a little dish of sauce.

Step 5: Drink

You can also add a drink of some juice, I found this adorable little ice cube try that make ice shaped like a love heart to put in your juice.

So it's really simple but quite a cute and delicious Valentines Day gift!

MY WEEK IN FOOD #3

Hey girls,

This is the third "My Week In Food" so I'm just going to include a couple of photos of food I managed

to take photos of during the week, hope you enjoy!

I adore macarons but they are just such a pain to bake so sometimes premade ones

are just so much easier! Strawberry and pistachio are my favourite!

I have been loving Italian food recently so definitely bruchetta and pasta!

I have grown quite obsessed to the McDonalds Apple Pies which I know is soooo incredibly

bad but they are just so darn tasty! Seriously have had so many of these this week!

I have been snacking on sushi soooo much recently, I love it! I specifically adore the

spicy chicken rolls, anything with avacado and nigiri!

Best noodles ever!

Of course more maccas..don't judge me! It's almost embarrassing doing these

but I find them interesting so maybe some of you like them :)

Oh and the frappes McDonalds offer are absolutely delicious!! Seriously recommend trying them :)

So that's my week in food, I hope you enjoyed!

MACADAMIA MAPLE SYRUP PANCAKES!

Hey girls,

I have a pancake recipe for you today! I have have a Rocky Road Pancakes recipe already but this one is a little different because they are Macadamia Maple Syrup Pancakes!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups milk

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups White Wings self-raising flour

1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1/3 cup caster sugar

25g butter, melted

Step 1: Whisk milk, egg and vanilla together in a jug.

Step 2: Sift in the flour and bicarbonate of soda.

Step 3: Stir in sugar. Whisk until just combined.

Step 4: Melt the butter and use it to grease the pan.

Step 5: Pour the mixture onto the pan and wait for it to bubble before flipping it over to cook on the other side.

Step 6: To be more efficient in cooking all of your mixture you can cook multiple ones at once! Just make sure that all of the pancakes are at different stages so you don't have to try and flip them all at once.

Step 7: Now it's the fun part which is adding the toppings onto your pancakes!! You can choose anything you like; flavored toppings, nuts, chocolates..anything you want really!

I'm using macadamia nuts and Maple Syrup for mine because it's delicious!

So here is the finished product in all it's syrup nutty glory!
