Hey everyone,
Now that I no longer work weekends, this post is so much easier to get up on time! I totally forgot I hadn't updated you all on my change of job! I quit sainsburys in August after getting an extension to my contract in the office I was working in over summer. I've just found out this week that I'm getting a further extension to May 2015! That takes me right up to graduation! Woohoo!
Anyway, what else have I been up to this week?
- Work. I now work Mon, Wed & Fri 9-5. The hours suit much better and give me more time to relax, especially at weekends!
-Uni. Next week is deadline week for 2 of my modules so I've been trying to work on my coursework. I'm awful at time management though. I do nothing until the deadline is upon me and then I'm stressed and doing all nighters to get finished on time!
Banana bread baking! I made another batch of this yesterday. It's such a yummy treat. You can find my recipe for it HERE

Last night I had a craving for an old school ice cream van style ice cream! So obviously the other half got sent to the shops to buy me the ingredients! This was totally worth the diet sacrilege! 

Speaking of diets, the ice cream seems to have done something useful! I'd hit a wall with the diet this week and wasn't losing anything! Then this morning, I'd dropped almost 2 pounds! Woohoo! We'll see if I manage to keep it off until WeighIn Wednesday, since it's Sunday dinner at Mum's tonight (and there is more ice cream on the menu!) 
Have a fabulous week everyone!

Banana and Pineapple Loaf

Thursday, 23 October 2014

Today I've got a really yummy recipe for you all! This banana and pineapple loaf is such a nice treat with a cuppa! 

Ingredients: 
175g self raising flour
2tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tsp nutmeg
75g light brown soft sugar
2 eggs
3 mashed bananas
100g melted butter
1tsp vanilla extract
1 small tin of pineapple chunks, drained. 

And it is so simple to prepare. You just throw everything in a mixing bowl, mix together until smooth (apart from pineapple chunks in the mixture). Oil a 2lb loaf tin and pre heat oven to 180 degrees/gas mark 4. Cook for 50-60 minutes and hey presto, you have a yummy cake! Leave to cool for 10 minutes before eating though or it's impossible to cut without crumbling! And guess what? There's only 210 calories per slice!
