Although the football didn’t come home, that doesn’t mean we
can’t bring some flavours of the world cup home. Today I wanted to share with
you a Brazilian recipe I made. I love trying out new things and mixing
different food flavours and what a better time than the world cup.
This video is in collaboration with Co Op and you can watch the
video and head to the supermarket with me, get your ingredients and cook a long
with me. I hope you enjoy it and share it with your friends.
Fast forward 3 years and I have finished university. Doesn’t
3 years sound like a hell of a long time? Well I tell you what, it really just
flew by. I moved out with all of the first years and thought wow, you really
have a whole adventure right in front of you to look forward to and now I’m
moving on to different things.
Now that I have finished, it has been a really great time to
reflect on everything that I have done, achieved, accomplished, the friends I
have made, the things I have done but also to celebrate.
This month with Co-op, I a going to share with you how I
celebrated with their various party food and snack options. I got together with
a few of my friends, and my cat as you will see, and we just had a chilled day
in the garden with lots of different foods to pick at and just great chats.
Always remember that the hard work you do is never for
nothing and it will pay off. Some things in life aren’t instant but it will pay
off.
Please watch the video below to see the spread that I
created and my top picks for a chill out day with the friends. And also, go
have some fun. You earned that break after all the hard work.
Hey guys, welcome back to the blog. Today I am bringing
another recipe post and video in collaboration with Co-op. this month’s theme
was ‘eat wise, revise’ and I had the perfect recipe in mind to share with you
guys. One that I make all the time when I know I have lots of work going on and
I just won’t have the time to think about lots of different meals to make. This
is my rice and lentil bowl recipe
For this you will need:
Rice of your choice (I eat the uncle bens wholegrain and
quinoa rice)
You wanna start by heating your chopped tomatoes in a pot
with a little bit of olive oil. To it, add some balsamic vinegar (1tbsp), brown
sugar (2tsps), salt and pepper and that should take about 5 to 7mins to heat
through. once done, add to a bowl that you can place in the fridge to go back
to.
Then you can start on the onions. Heat those in a pan and
add 2tsps of brown sugar at a time (4 in total) and caramelise the onions. Once
that is done, you can add some in a bowl to eat now and some into tupperware
for later
Then heat some of your sweet potato mash in the microwave
and your rice and lentils whilst you prepare everything else
Now we can add our rice and lentils to that same pot and
heat that through and season with canola oil, salt, pepper and paprika and make
sure that is all mixed through. That should take about 5 to 7 mins.
Then add all the ingredients we have made so far into a
plate and that creates the base of the bowl.
For some added protein, I’m going
to cook to egg whites in a pan, season with pepper and garlic salt and add over
the top.
And that’s it, seems like a lot of steps at first but it all
lasts about 3 to 4 meals and is super easy to just heat up and make and egg to
go on the top. I am super swamped with uni work atm so these ingredients are
already on my list to get again next week.
Let me know some of your favourite foods to get you through
those busy weeks below 😊
As always, there is a video to accompany this so
if you want to make it along with me, check it out below!
