MEXICAN BURRITOS

Hey girls,
I love Mexican food but it's not always so convenient to go out to a Mexican restaurant to eat so I have come up with a couple of recipes that I personally use when I have to make it myself. I always order a burrito and have come up with a recipe which tastes almost as good so keep reading if your interested.

 Ingredients:

Tortillas

Refried Beans

Nachos Topping

Avocado

Lemon Juice

Sour Cream

Shallots

Step 1: Mixture

a. Mix the rice with the refried beans in a bowl.

b. Add the nachos topping, Chile sauce and Mexican chile powder into the rice and refried beans mixture.

Step 2: Assembling

a.) Take your tortilla and place it on a plate.

b.) Place the mixture in a line, in the middle of the tortilla.

c.) Add your cheese on top and then place it in the microwave for about 40 seconds to melt it.

d.) Roll your burrito up.

Step 3: Guacamole

 

a.) Cut your avocado in half, take out the seed and then scoop all of the flesh out of the skin and mash it all up with a fork. 

b.) Add some lemon juice for added taste.

c.) Cut up some shallots and add them into the mix.

Here is the finished product...

I hope you enjoyed this recipe, hopefully it will save you some time and money when it

♥ VALENTINES DAY CUPCAKES ♥

Hey girls,

Valentines Day is less than a week away so here is another Valentines treat idea that is not only super delicious but also festive and cute! These would make as perfect gifts for your special someone or as a dessert on Valentines day or really any time because they taste so good!

I found these adorable decorations that add to the cute valentines theme.

I decorated using red sprinkles because it is the colour of love!

These really pretty, high gloss cupcake wrappers match the red sprinkles perfectly!

I just used my basic chocolate cupcake recipe that you can check out here to create the actual cupcake. I used Betty Crocker icing and a piping bag for the topping and also some red hearts to make them a little more themed for Valentines.

 

 I think they turned out really cute and romantic themed, perfect for Valentines.

MY WEEK IN FOOD #3

Hey girls, 

This is the third "My Week In Food" so I'm just going to include a couple of photos of food I managed 

to take photos of during the week, hope you enjoy!

I adore macarons but they are just such a pain to bake so sometimes premade ones 

are just so much easier! Strawberry and pistachio are my favourite!

I have been loving Italian food recently so definitely bruchetta and pasta!

 

I have grown quite obsessed to the McDonalds Apple Pies which I know is soooo incredibly 

bad but they are just so darn tasty! Seriously have had so many of these this week!

I have been snacking on sushi soooo much recently, I love it! I specifically adore the 

spicy chicken rolls, anything with avacado and nigiri!

Best noodles ever!

Of course more maccas..don't judge me! It's almost embarrassing doing these 

but I find them interesting so maybe some of you like them :)

Oh and the frappes McDonalds offer are absolutely delicious!! Seriously recommend trying them :)

So that's my week in food, I hope you enjoyed!
