3 ingredient brownies

Leave a comment
– Fridays in my book are either about food or fashion, today it’s food 🙂
If you are looking for a sweet snack this weekend try these three ingredient brownies, it’s yummy yummy and that was not a typo , I said 3 ingredients!
I  first found this recipe on www.Laurassweetspot.com love her 🙂
so I tried it myself and added two more ingredients which I decide later was not necessary

What you need:

– A cup of chocspread
– two eggs
– 10 TBS flour

What you do

– Pre-heat the oven
– Mix ingredients (melt choc spread in microwave to help with mixing)
– spread between 12 muffin cups and bake for 12 minutes
– it should come out soft and delicious

What I thought

– These bites are really yum, but I find it doesn’t keep very well – two days later they were kinda dry. (actually the one that survived was dry)
That’s okay because you can whip them up and finish it all  in one afternoon and then feel bad because 12 brownies are not great for the waist line 😉
SO MAKE THEM AND SHARE!!!

ate mine too quickly to take a pic, but they basically look like this picture I stole off the net

So it’s that time of the year again slap bang in the middle of spending all your money on the holidays and finally getting paid again. That does not stop the sweet tooth, but there is a solution, these yummy yummy peanut butter biscuits. They are so simple to make, but seem to disappear REALLY QUICKLY!

Ingredients:
cup of peanut butter
cup of sugar (you can get away with a little less)
a egg

Method:
mix and bake 🙂 don’t try shake and bake that’s only funny in the movie Talladega nights 🙂
-use 180 degree oven for 6-8 minutes until lightly brown (yes peanut butter is already brown but you’ll know it when you see it)

ENJOY … NOM NOM NOM

My morning boost – Nutella, banana smoothie

Leave a comment

With the days getting hotter oats is just not cutting it as breakfast food so in comes the smoothie, in about five minutes each morning I whip one up with only four everyday ingredients and I get a large dose of calcium, potassium and a whole lot of yum 🙂

MY RECIPE…

You need:
– 1 large or two small frozen bananas (cut them up before you freeze them, it makes things sooo much easier)
– a table spoon of nutella (the spoon you are likely to put in your mouth does not count)
– a drizzle of honey (yes that is not an accurate measurement)
– a cup of milk (you might want to ad more if you prefer a thinner consistency)

You do:
Add all ingredients to a small jug, stick in your hand blender and that’s it 🙂
the frozen bananas have an ice-cream like consistency when blended so no thickeners like yogurt needed

ENJOY 🙂

It comes out to around 300cals which is not exactly a diet drink but it’s yummy and you can afford extra calories in the morning

yummy in my tummy

I recently developed a slight (huge) obsession with brownies, seriously LOVE THEM, unfortunately my new found love comes around the same time I realise that dairy does NOT and I repeat NOT agree with me 🙁
I was browsing the net in hopes of finding some chocolaty deliciousness that wouldn’t make me sick from dairy (from over eating maybe) and came across this on all recipes.com can’t wait to try them out, the reviews were great: (I’d add nuts though, nom nom nom)

So the detox went belly up and we are back to eating like normal people, decided to break the fast (even if it was just two days) in style with some yummy food at St Elmo’s

We decided we like food too much so now instead of curbing our enthusiasm and doing the eat less thing we gonna try the  exercise more thing

Rob hates me taking pics of him, that is why he is always looking away – I need to catch him off guard
Look I caught myself off guard-hehehe





We don’t play with food, hehe

So what’s your winter breakfast choice?

I love caramel oats, the instant kind, yum yum or soft boiled eggs and toast soldiers, on a cold day YUM YUM what do you have?

I know it looks like gruel (please sir may I have some more)

If you were wondering, I had to give up detox partly because I can’t seem to shake this cold and Rob has a ear infection and partly because I’M SOOOOOOOOOOO OVER that! lol
