Home made rice pudding

I don’t know about you – but to me home made rice pudding is one of my all fav puddings of all seasons!! In particular of course these more breezy, chilly days do give it an extra oomph factor with it being a comfort food for those not so warm months ahead. Why not treat yourself to a cheeky tuck-in ………..?

Here are the main ingredients my Mum and I use in our kitchen, but obviously you can add extras such as cinnamon or nutmeg, maybe a touch of strawberry jam?

Make sure you have a pint of milk wholly for the use of this recipe – don’t run out of your cuppa amount!! Add 1 large dollop of butter to the pan before you put the milk in to make sure the rice won’t stick to the sides 🙂

Pop 50g of pudding rice into the pan for 2 people or double to serve 4 etc…… Then add 2-3 tsps of sugar in about 5 mins before the end to add that tang of sweetness!

Simmering time can be between 30 mins to 40 depending on which pudding rice you buy whether it be Tesco, Sainsburys and so forth. Alternatively use a slow cooker for an hour and a half to two hours 🙂

Night time reading for today📖

One of my favourite poems from this particular collection of poetry is one by William Blake. I love his writing style and the dynamics in this piece with such power in only six stanzas. 

I hope you like this poem too!!!

Pizza Express with Mum

Mum has been away for a few days this week on a mid week get away and returned this afternoon. As a re-union/welcome back meal my Mum, sisters and I headed out to town so Mum didn’t need to cook. 

Although I actually only remembered to take two pictures, we all very much enjoyed our meals even though I didn’t remember to photograph the others food. ( Just due to me enjoying it so much, which is technically a compliment to the restaurant 😂 ) 

For my starters I had buffalo mozzarella cheese drizzled with pesto, served with piccolo tomatoes. My main was the American  classic pizza – very scrumptious – washed down with San Pelligrino sparkling water. 

Plenty of smiles all around 😊

 
Love always,

Nutribullet recipe | Fields of gold

Today’s recipe is very simplistic yet tasty for those who want a refreshing, nutritious drink but may be short on time or resources.

Although there are many other items you could add to this particular smoothie such as bananas, chunks of pineapple or perhaps some rocket takes your fancy – here are just 3 staple items for the recipe to get you started ☺️ but remember to add ice/extra cold milk if you want to make them extra frothy!!

More love to add to my stationary collection

Boo! If you’re like me and can’t resist a new pen/ notebook every few months or so you may want to skip this post for fear of another purchase! 😂✌🏼

For you stationary hoarders out there like myself who can never have too many pretty colours, designs and booklets. Here is my latest purchase from TK Maxx! Although I have a saved document on Microsoft of my bucket list, I sometimes prefer things to be written down in front of me to further staple it in my brain as a reminder of fun memories and more of them in the future to come ✨

I loveeeeee rose gold as you may be aware and I liked the simple yet chic choice of text on the front of this notebook. About the gel pens, I haven’t owned any since primary school so I am super excited to use these for  my bucket list as it adds further brightness and merriment to the plans I’ll be writing down whether its the already completed or those yet to come.

Anyhow here we are, I have rambled enough so here they are 

Let me know if you have any fav stationary pieces or recommend more bits to collect. ( I’m also a big fan of Paperchase ) 

Love to you all,

Photo flashback



 These two were taken in Lancashire on a walk back from the bus stop, but seeing as the sky looked so beautiful I had to take a quick snap along the bridge. 

Hope you’re all having a fab weekend,

New poster for my bedroom ☺️✌🏼🐯

I found this in the sale at Debenhams a few weeks back, but have had my eye on styles like this for a while – because I think it’s so important to remember how important your individuality is!! 

When I couldn’t find any others I liked quite as much, I decided to snatch it up after work one day for £12 so I’m very pleased with this purchase. It has a lot of my favourite colours (asides from purple) and I love the cursive handwriting print✔️

Please don’t forget to remind yourself daily of who you are, where you have been and of the person you want to grow to be for your future 😊

Love always,
