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

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) because who doesn’t like birthday cake? (pic below of what it’s supposed to look like.)

You mix the ingredients up in a mug, fire it in the microwave and that is literally it. Sounds simple enough but mines deffo did not turn out the way it should have done. Mines came out looking like a big sponge in a mug. Greetin. It looked even worse due to the fact that I realised I had no sprinkles or icing etc. to hide the sponge-like appearance. That's all I'm going to say about the mug cake (partly because it came out rubbish and partly because I only have a 300 word limit.)

Valuable life lesson: if you want cake, don't be lazy and make it properly. Or just buy one from tesco for easiness xxx

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...

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...
