Lifestyle: The Happiness Diaries #2

This week has involved handing in an essay, working on our group presentation, baking a lot of cake (obviously) but all in all just getting a little bit stressed out. Thankfully I've been able to chill out a bit this weekend with food from The Forum on Saturday (see above) and a night out but I'm pretty excited to go home on Thursday.

Recipe: Banana and Nutella Muffins

I made these little beauties for my friend's charity cake sale - she will be hitchhiking to Croatia in a couple of weeks all in the aid of charity! I thought I'd help her out in the way I know best - baking!
Banana and Nutella are a match made in heaven, perfect on pancakes. I thought i'd try them out in cake form. This recipe calls for those really ripe bananas, the ones going brown and mushy on the windowsill.

Recipe: Red Lentil Ragù

This meal is perfect for those on a budget, using my measurements it makes around 4-5 portions which I've put in the freezer for a later date. All you have to do is defrost in the microwave. Quick, easy and pretty healthy too!

Lifestyle: The Happiness Diaries #1

I will openly admit that I am a very negative person so I thought a regular post about things that have made me happy in the past week will allow me to ignore those negative thoughts and appreciate the little things. The photo above was taken on a walk with my parents on Saturday, I don't think this particular sheep was happy with being my model.

Recipe: White Chocolate and Raspberry Baked Cheesecake

Hello,
For my first blogpost I thought I should start as I mean to go on with a scrummy recipe for cheesecake!
This used to be my favourite dessert to make when I was younger and definitely sparked my love for baking. I've not made one in a long time and previous escapades involved cheesecakes set in the fridge so I thought I'd try my first ever baked cheesecake.
