Do you wanna build a snowman? ☃️ We finally g Do you wanna build a snowman? ☃️

We finally got some snow today. The girls were so excited to go out and play in it. We even managed to make a little snowman and make sure he stayed safe given the current situation.

Weekends are made for pancakes 🥞 A short stack Weekends are made for pancakes 🥞

A short stack of banana pancakes topped with berry yoghurt, @jackpotpeanutbutter  golden syrup and blueberries.

I love these as a quick and easy breakfast and it's the easiest recipe ever. 

- 1 banana
- 2 eggs 
- 3 heaped spoons of oats. 

Mix them all up and pop them in the pan. Easy! 

What's for breakfast where you are?

Another vegan burger actually, an onion bhaji burger to be precise. 

It was so good but definitely needed more mango chutney. Although, I think there's not much in life that can't be improved with a huge dollop of mango chutney. Amirite?!

Pizza is one of my favourite foods and this one is a good one. Tom made the dough from scratch and I'm not entirely sure he'll be doing that again soon 😆

Not vegan thanks to the mozzarella and goats cheese but absolutely bloody delicious.

Tulips are my favourite and these yellow ones have really made me happy the past few days. 

Don't wait for someone to buy you flowers, buy them yourself and revel in how they make you feel.

Tom outdid himself at the weekend with this vegan stack burger. He added a potato rosti, homemade burger sauce and a slice of @violife_foods It was bloody delicious. 

Were actively trying to cut our meat intake even if we're not fully committed to going completely plant based. 

Little steps right?

This is my favourite chocolate in all the world and it is using all of my willpower to not just inhale all of it immediately. 

Tom got me this little @tonyschocolonely_uk_ire selection for Christmas. I've had it hidden so no one else can have any but I finally allowed myself a bar tonight. Myself, no one else.

What snacks do you refuse to share?

I love a beer, I really miss going out for one. But drinking on school day has had to stop this year. Enter my new favourite weekday beer. @luckysaintbeer is 0.5% and blummin delicious!

Are you a beer fan? Do you have any low alcohol/alcohol free beers to recommend? Or any other recommendations?

How many cups of tea is too many? Honestly, I re How many cups of tea is too many? 

Honestly, I reckon I have at least eight a day. I'm not too fussy when it comes to my tea but I do prefer it quite strong (stronger than this photo looks), no sugar and molten hot. Obviously, it's good if it comes with a biscuit or two too.

Celebrating Best Friend’s Day – Review: Whittard’s Afternoon Tea

21/07/2019      Leave a Comment

*I was sent this item for review purposes. All thoughts and words are my own. If I didn’t love it I’d let you know.

whittards fternoon tea

It’s Best Friends Day on 8th June and to celebrate Steph and I went for afternoon tea in Whittard of Chelsea’s Tea Bar in Covent Garden. I love afternoon tea it’s one of my favourite pastimes. I think it’s because the food is always so dainty and, you know, any excuse for cakes.

A cup that reads time for tea and a blue teapot

We started our visit with a glass of prosecco and then went on the have The Grocer’s Tea. It’s a more savoury selection swapping out the scones for a couple of delicious artisan sausage rolls and a spinach and feta tartlet. These added treats and the usual selection of finger sandwiches meant that I was really full before I even considered the sweet treats on offer.

As I’m sure you can imagine, the tea menu at Whittard is extensive. Steph decided to go with the Spiced Chai and said it was refreshing and tasty without being too heavily spiced and committing the ultimate tea sin – tasting like perfume. I like a strong black tea and was torn between a couple so I decided to go with the recommendation of our server and had the 1886 blend. It was everything I wanted from a good cup of tea, like a hug in a mug.

A warm cup of tea and a blue teapot

To finish, there were four different bitesize cakes that were totally delicious and incredibly moreish. Choosing which ones we wanted proved too difficult so we ended up cutting them all in half so we could try each one. Despite being full from the delicious savoury selection I could have eaten all four of the cakes to myself and did wish there were more on offer.

As well as afternoon tea we were able to choose a present for each other too. Steph chose two tins of loose leaf tea – Earl Grey and English Breakfast for me to go with a tin of the crumbliest, butteriest, most indulgent double chocolate biscuits I’ve ever eaten. Whereas I chose two flavours of hot chocolate for her – white chocolate and peanut butter. It was a hard decision to make though. I tried the coconut hot chocolate and it was incredible (I’m going back for that so I can live on it once this heatwave is over) and there were some incredible sounding ice tea blend flavours that sound like they’d make excellent bases to cocktails in this sunshine!

You can have afternoon tea all day at Whittard Tea Bar and they have four different variations if the Grocer’s Tea we had doesn’t float your boat. Find out more here.
