So on the last day of February I though I would take you though a few of my favourite food and drink discoveries this month!

 

My latest obsession (yes, it has got to that!) is making caramel iced coffees. I have a Nutribullet, which don't get me wrong, I do use for smoothies and healthy drinks. But they are also great for slightly less healthy drinks! I treated myself to the Starbucks caramel syrup this month too! So all I do is add some cold black coffee, milk, ice cream and some caramel syrup and a bit of ice, blend it all together and you are good to go. And so much cheaper than a real Starbucks!

This month I went to visit my bestfriend in Leeds and we went to an amazing dessert place just around the corner from her house. I honestly think this is one of the best crepes I have ever had. It was a Nutella crepe with banana, crumbled cookie, chocolate sauce, cream and kinder bueno ice cream. I also think this place might be a chain so defo one to check out! 

I spotted this on offer in Tesco and couldn't resist! creme eggs are my favourite Easter treat and this creme egg ice cream is so good! Perfect for chilling in bed with Netflix!

And finally my favourite new hot drink. I'm a huge green tea drinker but I also love vanilla lattes so this combination of the two is perfect. It's very sweet but also filled with antioxidants and tastes amazing. I found this in a cafe in Durham when I was visiting for the weekend so I hope it catches on and other places start selling this too.

Christmas Baking

Christmas Baking

Jack came over yesterday and we had a really relaxing day. We did a winter walk at the park near my house and then we went into town to pick up some ingredients to do some baking. We decided to make little Christmas cupcakes as we had seen pictures on the internet and they looked really cute. These cupcakes were so easy and quick to make and they taste so good. I think I've eaten 4 since we make them!

We can so much fun decorating these and my mum and brother join in a bit too. They aren't very professional looking cakes and I think that looking on the internet before gave me false hope of what they may look like! But they taste so good and it was just such a cute thing to do and such a simple Christmas activity. 

This is the recipe that we used. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/cupcakes_93722

Then in the evening we all started to watch the new Netflix original series, Marco Polo. So far I really like it, it can be a bit confusing in places but there's action and romance and very good acting. Can't wait to sit down with my family again this evening to watch another episode.

Hope you have had a good Friday. Less than a week until Christmas now. xx
