I can't cook: Awww the chicken

Image
hiii Final post! This inspirational cooking journey has came to an end unfortunately.  Felt like I had to make something really impressive for my last post. However, reiterating what I said in post 1, I'm so fussy and most likely wouldn't even eat any of the mad, impressive recipes which totally defeats the purpose. Decided instead that I'd compile a list of recipes off yon Tasty app that I still want to try and make in the future. After starting this blog, I was genuinely motivated to try and cook more but then the motivation dwindled off between starting a new job, uni getting a bit hectic etc. Oops. So hopefully if I have the time and motivation to actually cook something then I'll can look here for some ideas. To Try: BBQ Chicken  - literally wrap some chicken and wee potato slices in baking paper (don't even know if that's what it's even called) and fling it in the oven. Doable. Easy Butter Chicken - Recently had the butter chicken from  ...

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.

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...

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...
