I've just gotten back from the most amazing trip to Chicago and the state of Illinois. I feel like I've been away for a month when in reality it's only been eight days. I can't really put into words how much fun I had. America completely stole my heart!  I feel absolutely exhausted but in a good way. Not sure I'm quite ready to hit reality yet - quite enjoyed being in a bubble. I've got a few posts planned so keep your eyes peeled.

I shot this outfit just before I went away to see Charlie And The Chocolate Factory at the West End. Make sure you buy tickets sharpish if you haven't seen it- it's great fun being transported back to your childhood! I threw on something together last minute as all my more causal clothes were already packed in a suitcase. Although I looked liked I was spending a day in the office, I quite liked it. Maybe it's one for the office next week! The coat is certainly proving to be value for money judging by the amount of times it's making appearances.

Recipe: Baked Oats

I found these baked oats floating around on the web while I was looking for healthy yet filling breakfasts. I've been obsessively having them most days as they're perfect for weekdays. The great thing is you can pop any fruit that tickles your fancy in them - my favourite is blueberries. I make mine the night before and have them cold for breakfast when I get into work. It helps me stay on plan for Slimming World!

Ingredients:
50g fresh blueberries
35g porridge oats
1 medium egg
50ml semi-skimmed milk

Method:
1. Mix the oats, milk and egg together in a bowl.

2. Pop in the blueberries and mix it all together.

3. Pour into a small ramekin and pop in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees.

4. Once cooked you can either have them warm or wait for them to cool down. I prefer them the latter way. Enjoy!

As always let me know if you make them, tweet me and show me the pictures!

Recipe: Malteaser Bunny Easter Nests

 

Looking for something quick and easy to bake at Easter? You need something that will get you lots of brownie points? Look no further! These simple bunny nests take hardly any time at all to whip up. Plus they taste so yummy that you'll be the toast of wherever you decide to spend Easter.

Makes 10

Ingredients:
400g milk chocolate
3 packs of mini Malteser Bunnies
4 large crushed Shredded Wheat

Method:

1. Bash the Shredded Wheat with a rolling pin while it's in the packet. Pop to one side.

2. Melt the chocolate over the hob. Use a saucepan of boiling water and play a bigger ceramic bowl on top. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil over. Make sure you keep stirring.

3. Once the chocolate is melted, mix in the crushed Shredded Wheat until it is fully covered.

4. Pop three teaspoons of mixture into a cupcake case before making a little hole in the middle. Pop your Malteser Bunny in the middle.

5. Pop in the fridge for an hour to help them set before scoffing one to two!

Please do tweet me and let me know if you make them!
