So I said that for my New Year resolution I was going to be more vegetarian because, as has been duly noted by Ravi and Chloe, I am really not great at it. This was a lovely little supper that was actually surprisingly filling. And you feel gorgeously healthy afterwards. Very easy, very nice. Give it a go. OMG. This is amazing. It'll rock your world. It's obviously not as healthy as a fruit-only ice cream but by changing the base to banana you're making it much better. And it tastes FAB. So easy that you have no excuse not to do it. So Lauren very kindly sent over this recipe. It's originally a Nigella one but I've massively reduced the amount of sugar in it. Still tastes lovely. It's a lovely refreshing orange and lime ice cream. Well worth a go. Super simple to make. Faaab. Also, I got half way through making this and realised it was a bit like the chocolate puds I like to make (these ones) and so I thought we'd make some little cheesecakes too. These worked really well! And because they come in little ramekins you don't end up eating waaayy to much. #BasicallyHealthy. All is explained below. Check out the video! Have a really glorious Christmas! Let's face it: smoothies are not as great as we think they are. Sure, they taste good but really the reason why we love them so much is because they're full of sugar. So this is a 'reduced' sugar recipe; obviously it's not as sweet but it does still get lots of fruit in you without the sugar. Give it a go. Watch the video. Super easy and super healthy. This is a great snack and a fabulous way to get some fruit in you! Ross and I have been meaning to have a curry sesh for a while. We finally got around to doing it the other day. Ross is seriously hot on his food so this is definitely worth a go. Don't be intimidated by the long list of spices; go to the covered market in Durham and you can get them all for, if I remember correctly, £1.85. That's just insane. And you'll have plenty left to do more stuff with.
We were drinking rosé with it. Beer is the classic curry drink but I got chatting to someone over the summer and they suggested that rosé works well with it - can confirm it's very pleasant. So Monty Bojangles sent me some "Flutter Scotch" to review. Basically they're truffles. And they're absolutely fabulous. Top quality chocolate. Something you want after a fab meal. I made this for the house and we've all had loads of it. Really delish. We all really enjoyed it. Give it a shot. You can really see why the chocolate has a "great taste" award. If you are planning a dinner party or want to impress someone #basicallytinder then do give this a go! So I was hungry. This happened. I used home made vanilla ice cream, but you could use bought stuff. Enjoy. Ingredients
Method Pop everything in a blender and blend! It's that easy. Omelettes seem to frighten people. I don't really know why. This recipe works for me and you can basically add anything to it. Today I added ham and cheese. Trick (as I mention in the video) is to use strong cheese and nice ham (ideally). Also season well. Pepper is your friend.
So this is a new take on the classic barking baking cookies. It's lovely. I accidentally bought peanut M and Ms but actually it tastes fab anyway so well worth a go. Dig in. I was busy watching some videos the other day and came across one by Gemma Stafford. She was doing something similar to this and it works brilliantly. Enjoy! I think this is my new favourite one. It's super simple and delicious. Give it a go. Great for late night reading sessions!
There are so many great words in the title to this post. It's so easy to do and tastes fab. You absolutely must try it. Watch the video below.
OK so this is the easiest recipe in the world. We all love brownies but they are a bit of a faff to make. These are absolutely amazing. And they're just flour, chocolate spread and eggs. Do it. If you have more time, you can try our original Oreo Chocolate Brownie recipe here. When life gives you lemons, make lemon drizzle cake! Kathy and James made one the other day and I thought it was fab so I had a go at my own version. This recipe is based on one from the BBC site but I didn't use 4 eggs as I couldn't see the point. I used two eggs. Check out the video and subscribe to our channel! If you want something healthy and delicious this is for you. Peaches are just the most amazing things and probably my favourite fruit. Use a small banana for this (or half a large one) as we don't want to overpower the taste. Let us know how yours worked out - get in touch on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat (all our usernames are BarkingBaking so just ping us there!). Ingredients
Method Cut the peach, apple and banana into slices then put onto a plate with some baking paper (this helps stop it sticking to the plate). Freeze overnight. Blend in a blender when it's frozen solid. It's quite stubborn so you'll need to keep scraping it down with a fork. Enjoy. Makes about 2.5 ramekins of ice cream. This is another addition to our healthy ice cream series! It's great. Not going to lie, it is arguably more of a sorbet. This recipe makes just one serving so if you want more, double up the ingredients. Got to start packing for my return to Durham soon and this was a perfect way to procrastinate... Ingredients
Method Cut the peach into slices (no need to skin it but do remove the stone). Pop the peach and the blueberries on a plate with some baking paper. Freeze overnight. Bung the frozen fruit into a blender and whizz until it's gone smooth - you'll need to use a fork to push the mix down the sizes of the blender. Eat! This evening we all sat down and had a lovely meal. Hamish is busy trying to get sorted for university and so I had quite a good day today. As some of you will know from our Snapchat feed, I was trying out some Giovanni Rana pasta tonight after their people reached out and suggested we give it a go. We also cooked a very easy tomato sauce with it. Check out the recipe and our verdict below!
How gorgeous does this look!? Not going to lie it's more banana than blueberry. Very good. Do it.
If you haven't already worked it out, I'm currently obsessed with these healthy ice creams. They taste amazing and are super healthy. What's not to like.
This really is gorgeous. Ice cream. Healthy. Fruit. You don't really get anything better. No added sugar. Just fabulous. Do it. Ingredients
Method Peel the bananas and cut them up. Hull (ie cut the green bit off) the strawberries and cut them into halves. Pop it all on some baking paper on a plate then freeze (overnight works great). Then when you want to make the ice cream, blitz everything in a blender until it's super smooth. You will probably need to poke a fork in and scrape the fruit down towards the cutty bit of the blender a couple of times. Serve immediately or pop in a pot, cover and freeze - be aware this (obviously) makes it go hard and it will not be the soft gorgeous stuff you get when you eat it immediately. It's almost too good to be true...but it isn't. It's healthy, fun, easy and actually tastes like ice cream. It's best when you make it and then eat it straight away otherwise it can go a bit brown. Enjoy!
This is exactly the same recipe as the Coralicious Chocolate Cake but you only cook it for 23 mins at 180. The recipe does 12 cupcakes with a little bit left over (good if you like to lick the bowl).
I had hunted around for a simple, great recipe for cookies for a while and then I came across this. It's fab. These are the cookies I made for the Durham Give A Rose scheme I run with Venus. I hope you enjoy making (and eating!) them. Apparently my grandmother gave this recipe to my mum but she couldn't really remember. All very strange. However, this was a lovely supper; suggest having lots of vegetables and rice with it.
