Ooey Gooey Chocolate Cake...In a Cup!

I know it doesn't look like anything special in this picture, but this has been one of my favourite treats when I'm craving something a little sweet and I had to share it with you all!

This super easy and quick recipe was on I found online a while back, and with a few changes I've made it perfect to suit my cravings. 

All you need to make this simple desert are:

• ¼ Flour
• ¼ Sugar
• around 1 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa (I'm not a big chocolate person, for those of you who really like chocolate try 2 Tbsp, it's still amazing just too much for me)
• a pinch of Salt
• a bit of Cinnamon
• ¼ water
• 2 Tbsp of Vegetable or Canola Oil
• a few drops of Vanilla

I find this is easier to mix in a larger bowl before putting in the mug, but of course this can all be don't in the one mug to save dishes. Just make sure you are using a microwavable mug for this. It's good, but not worth ruining a microwave over.

So first you want to mix the Flour, Sugar, Cocoa, Salt, and Cinnamon together making sure it is all incorporated into one pile of powder. 

Then add your wet ingredients: Water, Oil, and Vanilla and mix all that into the dry ingredients until there are not more lumps and the mixture is smooth.

For baking your cake, since all microwaves are different, place the mug in the microwave for 1 minute tasting with a toothpick to see if its done. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.

If not done continue cooking for 1 minute at a time until done. 

Mine are always ready in 2 minutes.

I hope you all enjoy this as much I do, and share it with all your friends and family.

Cheesy Toast | Sandwich Sunday

Heres another sandwich for you all this week, This time its my favourite way to make cheese on tease with a bit of a twist.
This is by far my new (current) favourite sandwich, and it's super simple.

What you need:

• Toast: using whatever kind of bread you want
• A spicy mustard
• Tomato: thinly sliced
• Cheese: again, whatever you have available or your favourite

To start all your going to do is toast your bread of choice and get the broiler in your over heated up. After the bread is toasted, (lightly) butter that and then spread a thin layer of spicy mustard.

On top of that your going to layer the tomato you thinly sliced then lay out the cheese. 

Feel free to crack some pepper over the top before putting it in the oven.

This only takes about 3-5 minutes, but keep an eye on it as not all ovens are the same. 

You want to melt the cheese and have it starting to brown.

This is seriously my favourite late night guilt pleasure right now and I hope you all enjoy it!

Breakfast Bagel | Sandwich Sunday

Interesting fact about me? I love sandwiches, and tend to get a little obsessive over them once I find one I like. So I figured why not share with all of you a few of my favourites over the next few weeks! They may not be the most complicated, but once I start eating one I tend to make one everyday for about a month. 

This first one is just a simple breakfast bagel I like to make whenever I have the time in the morning, or even lunch. 

I like to use plain bagels, but if you have a favourite you think would be good let me know how it goes. Besides the bagel all you need are five simple ingredients. 

1. Egg: Whisk it up as if you were going to scramble it and then fry it in a pan with some butter keeping it together, once the bottom starts to cooks it becomes easier to start pushing the egg into a shape the will fit the sandwich
2. Lettuce
3. Tomato: Thinly sliced, one or two slices is usually good. 
4. Cheese: Again use whatever cheese you like, I like processed cheese mainly because its thin and melts really well. But use whatever you want.
5. Mayo: Another thing that is entirely up to you whether or not you use it.

Thats it! 

My favourite quick and easy to make breakfast. I know its not the most original thing, but it can be very satisfying.

Let me know if you try this, and let me know some of your favourite sandwiches maybe I could try them and feature them in the next "Sandwich Sunday" Post

My Christmas Traditions.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Yesterday was Christmas, and I'm sure many of you had a traditional Christmas Turkey Dinner. 

I have to say my family doesn't have many traditions, if there has to be one it would be NOT having turkey on Christmas.

This year we decided on have Salmon en Croute this year with sides of roasted veg and asparagus. 

The salmon is a super easy recipe that we were able to prepare the day before. For a detail recipe you can click here to check one out for Sorted Food. 

For the roasted vegetable we used:

• baby potatoes
• carrots
• shallots
• rosemary
• a few cloves of garlic
• olive oil
• lots of salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F

All we did was boil the potatoes and carrots for a few minutes just to soften them a bit. This helps them when roasting to get that soft on the inside and crispy on the outside texture. Then toss all the above ingredients into a roasting pan and cook them until golden.

Roasted Veg/Salmon en Croute just out of the oven/ Everything plated up

This is probably my favourite thing to have for dessert, and we've been having it for years.

Sticky Toffee Pudding!

There are many recipes online for this, and over the years we just kind out figured out our own ways of making it. Which I think is the best thing about family favourite meals, eventually they become your own. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, if you don't celebrate I still wish you the best.

Let me know in the comments some of your Christmas Traditions, If you don't celebrate what sort things do you do instead???

21st Birthday Snipits

Thursday, June 13 I celebrated my 21st birthday! It was a nice day that started out with breakfast with my mother at a breakfast place called Cora's, If you live in Canada and are close to one I highly suggest you go. After that, the day was planned to do some shopping, check out Greek Fest that I was lucky enough to receive tickets for and end the day with some of my favourite frozen yogurt from Yeh!

Completely forget to take a picture of all this on!

AMAZING Chocolate Skor Pizza from Rocky Mountain Chocolate 

As it was my birthday, I had to stop into Sephora and pick up my gift which was a benefit duo of their They're Real Mascara and the Whats Up Highlighter.While there I also got the Urban Decay Long Lasting Make Up Setting Spray, the Clinique High Impact Mascara, and some simple oil blotting sheetes, with all of that I was given a sample of Nars Gold Digger Lipgloss.
I also decided to head over to L'Occitiane to pick up their Almond Oil Shower Oil, I used this last nigh...My skin is sooo soft! Love it!!
Last place I went was pick where I picked out a simple black crew neck sweater.

Included: green peppers, roasted potatoes, dolmades, spanakopita, tiropita and Greek salad

At Yeh! Frozen Yogurt, I chose this time to not get my usual cheesecake flavour and try the new Pina Colada with a bit of Mango, I topped that off with a lot of mochi as its my favourite, some peanuts, coconut, strawberries, peaches and a piece of lychee.

I can see it in your eyes some things have lost their meaning

So finally the day had come, my best friend Katee and I were finally able to go do the things we've been waiting all year for a nice day for! 

So I showed up to the ferry terminal an hour early, and decided to enjoy the sun and walk around downtown while I waited for her to show up. It wasn't long until we hoped on the ferry and were in Halifax.

Our first stop was yeh! yogurt, originally from Quebec the delicious frozen chain has finally come to NS. For years I have been wanting to go to one of those cool self serve frozen yogurt places (kind of lame right) and the experience at yeh! did not disappoint. 

I got mango and NY cheesecake flavour, on top I chose strawberries, kiwi, mochi, peanuts. It was amazing and I will definitely be taking the trip across the harbour to go back.

After many tries of making macaron and only being successful once, I decided it was time to go out and find some in my city. I ended up finding this really cute french bakery online and we decided to check it out. They have six flavours of macaron available, and of course we got one of each!
My favourites were the White one: I think it might have been hazelnut, the green one: green tea flavoured, and the one on the bottom right that looks a little pink but I swear it was beige: which was toffee/caramel flavoured.

To end our night we got a bit hungry again (It was about 3 hours later) we decided to go to a korean BBQ place that we have been wanting to go to. Although looking at the lunch menu before heading in, we decided next time we will be in for lunch.

Before heading home we made a quick little stop into the mall. Look forward to a post about four of the things I bought.

You move through the room Like breathing was easy

So, last Wednesday afternoon, my lovely best friend Katee and I decided to treat ourselves to a nice day of sushi and shopping. We decided to check out a new local all you can eat place downtown. Let me tell you, it was some of the nicest sushi I've had around here. For $23.99 everything on that menu is yours, above is just a few of my favourites: The crab and Cucumber Roll, Green Dragon Roll, I had the Eel hand roll of the bottom while Katee had the crab, And then there's the best bowl of rice i have ever eaten; Pineapple Fried Rice. There was just something about it that made it so good! Unlike other Sushi restaurants nearby that cost a fortune, I did not leave here still hungry.

After our tummies were all filled up, we were going to get some frozen yogurt, but the weather wouldn't agree to that. So we went to the mall instead. Hopped onto a ridiculously filled bus, and off we went. Didn't do too much there:

What I got: Black High Rise Shorts//Leopard high-low shirt dress//Blue H&M nail polish in Blue my Mind //Coral H&M nail Polish in Check me Out

Needless to say, I had a lovely day, which turn into an equalling pleasant evening. I hope you all did too, What was the best thing you have done in the past week??
