What??????? I hear you all cry- no porridge??
No, I answer. I fancied pancakes today. So that is what I have. But, do not panic (were you all panicking?)- pimp my porridge will continue next week. Especially when I get some more coconut.
These are super easy- 100g flour, 100ml milk, 1 egg, I tbsp sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and cook away. I put on some dried cranberries and Andy had his with some maple syrup.
I had mine with Whole Earth caramel and chocolate spread. Mmmmm.
They look so much better in natural light!
We needed this as today we had planned to do a load of gardening. This warm weather has been fantastic, but it has sent some of our plants into overdrive. We spent an hour in the garden, chopping things back and getting out the nettles that grow from under the fence. Then we headed to the allotment for another hour- we planted some strawberries, a blackcurrant bush, some rhubarb and some daffodil bulbs. A lot of weeds had grown back, but the earth is so lovely and soft that they pull out easily. We decided to only weed the bits we need right now.
After that we were super hot and tired. I made us smoothies, which turned into soft serve! A frozen banana, some frozen mango and a carton of coconut water= 2 delicious smoothies that need to be eaten with a spoon!
It was a bit later for lunch, so I went for an apple and a pear covered in honey pb (from my blog swap). 🙂 Yum.
I also did a little review for Rawr chocolate- look here if you fancy seeing their lovely flavours, and one for Beyond Dark who make delicious (and healthy) dark chocolate drops- look here for that one. Have you tried any of these products?
I am about to have more autumn chilli with sweet potato fries- yummy 🙂
Hope everyone else is having a lovely Sunday 🙂
I did a blog swap with 
I had the mint brownie bite straight away and it was delicious! Thanks 
I also got my 
Some lovely looking almond desserts from Ecomil- I cannot wait to try these, perhaps in my new bowls?
How cute are they???? I got them from Paperchase when I was getting some birthday cards, so not actually in the post, but I just love them!
Oh yeah, and a commiserations magazine. This was actually for Andy, who, when his marathon training was going well, decided to sign up for the London ballot (and he didn’t tell me until after the deadline! Not that I would have applied, but anyway)- after Stockholm he was hoping to have not got in, so he was very relieved to get this in the post!
Post run snack- Chocolate Cherry Almond Luna bar courtesy of Errign- delicious 🙂
I made some carrot and raisin cakes to go with the peanut butter cookies I made yesterday.
Before the cream cheese frosting- I am getting a little obsessed with the mini loaf cases!
Oh, and one final photo- I ordered some bits from Lakeland- including piping bags and nozzles (so I no longer have to just dollop the icing on!), muslin cloth squares (for my almond milk hopefully) and these cool trays that are already divided up. I am terrible at cutting things evenly and so I am looking forward to making brownies, flapjacks, bars etc that are all perfectly the same size.
I was hungry so I decided to try a Builders bar (20g protein- wow!)- a chocolate mint one. It was quite nice, very filling but not my fave texture.
Pimp my porridge has been going well.
Carrot cake porridge (grated carrot, chopped apple, cinnamon, few raisins, oats and soya milk).
Peach coconut porridge (small tin drained peaches, oats, soya milk, coconut extract and I think some cinnamon as always)
Carob banana porridge (mashed banana, carob powder, few raisins, oats, soya milk)
Autumn fruit porridge (chopped pear, frozen blackberries, oats, soya milk, cinnamon I think)
Tahini, grated carrot, raisins and cinnamon. This was delicious! 🙂
I used some Whole Earth Original crunchy and some Beyond Dark chocolate chips to make 
peanut butter cookies- the best ever recipe.
They turn into the most enormous cookies 🙂 Thin and chewy, yummy.
They do look a lot like the photo in the book too.
. We have been working out way through the series and I cannot believe it is the last one. Anyone else a fan?
Chopped pear, Rude Health muesli, almond milk.
Hummus and red pepper sandwich, nectarine, nakd bar.
Half a massive bar of rawr orange chocolate.
Pumpkin spice cake (adapted from Sweet Vegan) and some Teapigs Spiced winter red tea.
This morning I had autumn fruit porridge. I chopped up a pear, sprinkled on oats and poured on soya milk, then added some frozen blackberries. I left it in the fridge overnight and then cooked it this morning for 2.20 in the microwave. I added a teeny squirt of agave, but it was quite sweet anyway in the end. Scrumptious. And purple!
The other day I tried banana cocoa porridge- amazing! I mashed a banana with some cocoa powder, then added oats and almond milk, again left it overnight and cooked it in the morning. This was so good! The banana means it needs no sweetener added, and it was a lovely change from my norm. But very messy looking!
A whole apple (I like it cored and into rings like that- looks pretty)
See– it is as high as the jar of peanut butter! It was hard to eat I tell you!
