Super quick side: Vegan red slaw

I have had a mountain of red cabbage in my fridge that I have been trying to use up for weeks now (luckily cabbage lasts for agesss in the fridge). With the majority of it, I made pickled cabbage to keep in the fridge and batch made sauteed cabbage to freeze; Once I was done I still had at least a quarter left over that I wanted to make into something tasty, and a few people on my Instagram account mentioned coleslaw. Therefore, I decided to get together all the ingredients I had in my larder/fridge and make a really easy 'no mayo' slaw...

Weekly meal prep + food shopping: My top 5 tips

When I lived in London spending Sunday afternoon wandering around Waitrose and Wholefoods was one of the highlights of my week (I know, I'm sad). Now I live in Sweden I mostly do all my shopping online, as it's more convenient, and I've lost the love for spending hours in the supermarket. However, I do still love planning and cooking meals. So I thought I would share my top tips for making the process a bit easier and more organised...

Things That Made Me Happy - November

Ok, I know it's already a week into December; I have been so busy moving into a new apartment this week (a post on this to come) that I haven't had time to write until now.

Here are the things that have made me happy in my past - very busy! - month. The month of November.

1) First and foremost: Arranging the move into my new home

2) Graduating with a first class degree!

3) Catching up with friends - something I don't get to do as often as I would like

4) Food! Who doesn't feel better after some good food?

5) Bonfire/fireworks night

6) Celebrating my 22nd birthday!

7) And lastly: Giant sized showers - mine was in a hotel room I stayed in; the tiles slightly reminded me of the Ministry of Magic, which just added to the whole experience.

I hope you have enjoyed my little list of the things that have made me happy this month. I would love to hear yours!

Stay tuned for my new home update (if you're interested of course).

Patisserie Valerie

Today was surprisingly sunny after the past week of rain and terrible weather we've been having here in the south. Therefore Ted and I decided to take a walk to town, stopping on the way to pop in to Patisserie Valerie.

This is a short post as I just wanted to document me ticking off the first thing on my 2014 bucket list. For those of you who haven't read that post (or can't really be bothered to click through to the link) I stated how I wanted to try a macaron for the first time; which, I admit, was the main reason for our visit. At 85p each we went for one of every flavour. They didn't disappoint, although I was expecting them to be more meringue-like.

After our little tea break we spent the rest of the day looking around town, and eating some more...

I hope you've had a lovely weekend (and valentines)!

New Years Lunch at Bill's

First things first, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you had a good night last night, whether it was in or out! A few friends and I stayed in with a take-away, bubbly and games; in order to see in the new year. Today we decided to have a lie in and then head down for a relaxed new years lunch at Bill's.

I went for a giant rack of sticky rips. They were sooo good!

All my courses were large, as I went for a giant crème brûlée for pudding, on top of the ribs; It's safe to say I'll be full for a while.

Don't worry, I didn't have three puddings. I just thought these looked pretty good too, dontcha think?

I'm finding it hard to think of a new years resolution, so instead have decided to compile a little 2014 'to-do' list of the things I want to accomplish this year, I'm hoping to write a blog post about it soon! What is your new years resolution/s?

Happy New Year!

A Swedish Christmas in Oxford

As you probably don’t know, Ted is half Swedish. Therefore, before he left university for Christmas he wanted to have a Christmassy night with his house mates; Swedish style. We made the classic Jansson’s temptation, ate meatballs and drank shots (snaps) with Swedish drinking songs. The classics being Helan Går and Nu Tar Vi Den; the only link I could find to explain Nu Tar Vi Den is this video, just so you know, I didn't make this video. Enjoy! Between the courses everyone has to sing one of the songs, take a shot and eat a piece of pickled herring; something that is very strange to me, but fun nevertheless.

It was a very different way to celebrate Christmas with friends for us, and we all had a great night!

GOD JUL!
