I can't cook: my first post

-
hiiii

I need to create a blog as part of my marketing coursework this year (yay). After panicking for weeks because I'm really boring and have nothing overly exciting to write about, today whilst discussing the fact that I hardly ever cook I had a wee bit of inspiration. 

 When scrolling through facebook I always come across those amazing food videos from the Tasty and Proper Tasty* pages and always say to myself: "Oh, I'll need to try that." Never happens. I moved to Glasgow around a month ago and can honestly count on one hand the number of proper meals I've cooked in my new flat; I genuinely live off of crisps, pot noodles and wee boxes of food that my mum has sent up for me (I wish I was joking, thanks mum). 

The Tasty facebook page has an app so I'm going to write about some of the decent recipes I've seen on the app, will attempt them and then I'll post some pics of how well/badly it went! Easy! I've decided to use this blog as an opportunity to kinda force myself to cook... If I don't actually make any of the recipes then I don't really have anything to write about, do I? I will apologise in advance incase the recipes I pick are really boring because I am the fussiest eater ever. I don't even like cheese, don't judge me.


 This blog is worth 30% of my overall grade so plz like/share/comment if you're feeling generous, you'll be supporting my education xxx

 *both pages are ran by the same company; no idea what the difference is and why one is apparently tastier than the other.

I can't cook: I actually cooked

hiii Right, I've actually cooked a proper meal. One that needed chopping boards and bowls for ingredients and everything.  I've been craving a Chinese for ages and haven't yet found a decent one near my flat so I decided that for my first proper post I'd make something Chinese-inspired; cashew chicken stir fry.  Promise it's nicer than it sounds! Incase anybody fancies having a nosy at the recipe, here's the link here . In my first post when I said I genuinely don't cook, I actually wasn't being dramatic for a change. 6 weeks after moving in, my chopping boards, pyrex jug and wee wooden spatula thing still have the labels on...  This recipe is so easy, even I managed to follow it with no issues. Basically, cut and cook your chicken, cut your veg, mix up your sauce and fling it all in a frying pan. I changed a few things; used tender stem broccoli instead of normal stuff because I'm fancy and added the cornflour in at the end because I...

I can't cook: don't try this at home

hii Soz, it's been a while. I know you'll all be absolutely beside yourselves waiting on this next post! Unfortunately the recipe I’ve made for this post doesn’t look or taste as good as the cashew chicken from the last post . To be quite honest, the recipe from this post turned out rotten. Just putting that out there now; I don’t want anybody being disappointed when they come to the minging picture at the end. For my 2nd proper post I really fancied making some form of cake from the Tasty app but, me being lazy as per, I really could not be bothered actually making a cake. They take a lot of effort and involve having to go and buy ingredients, baking utensils etc. Thennnn I came across some recipes for those mug cakes that you make in the microwave, smashing. The Tasty app has loads of different options for mug cakes (strawberries and cream mug cake, cookies and cream mug cake, nutella mug cake etc.) I chose to make the birthday cake mug cake (link here ) beca...

I can't cook: Chinese 2.0

hii Two posts in two days, I'm spoiling you all now. Ur welcome xxx After yesterday's disastrous mug cake and the success of the cashew chicken in my first proper post I decided to give another Chinese-inspired recipe a bash. This time I chose a beef and broccoli noodle stir-fry . Spoiler alert: this actually turned out ok. And, like the cashew chicken, tastes 100x nicer than it sounds. See pic below for what it was meant to look like: See pic below for how it actually turned out: Those two pics basically look the same, mines might look a wee bit sadder but they are basically  the same. The recipe said to use flank steak which I don't even think is a thing in the UK. I have a really bad habit of spending more money than what is necessary and then complaining that I'm skint* so o bviously  I substituted it with a fillet steak instead. Oops. These things happen. This recipe was easy enough that even I, the most inept person in the world when it comes...
