TEMPURA VEGETABLES

Hey everyone,
This recipe is for a delicious Japanese food which I love and I'm going to be telling you how you can make your own at home! Tempura can get really expensive in resteraunts so I was interested in finding out how to many it yourself and save some money. Now that I know how, I wanted to share it with you all!

The secret is Trident Tempura Batter Mix! For under $5, one pack makes an excessive amount of Tempura! If you were to buy this much tempura at a resteraunt it would cost you over $40!

STEP ONE

MIX

Start off by mixing your tempura mix with water and stirring it until all of the clumps are gone.

STEP TWO

COAT

Next evenly coat all of your vegetables in the batter. If you can see your vegetables clearly through the batter, you have added too much water and can fix this problem by adding a bit more flour to the mix.

STEP THREE

DIP
Now it's time to dip your batter covered vegetables into a saucepan of boiling oil. The most important part of this is to not leave them in too long and do one at a time! If you leave it in too long, it's just a soggy, oily, burnt mess and if you put more than one in at a time, they stick together. Leave in until just browned.

Serve with on top of Japanese curry for an authentic meal good enough to be served at a resteraunt!

HEALTHY HOMEMADE PIZZA

Just slice up all of your ingredients and place them on a tomato paste covered pizza base.

Once you have placed all of your ingredients onto your pizza, sprinkling the top with some cheese. Place it into the oven for 15-20 minutes on 200 or until the cheese on top browns.

HASH BROWNS

Hey everyone, 
Not only can store bought hashbrowns get quite expensive, but they are also quite fattening. These simple steps will help you create cheap and healthy homemade hashbrowns. 

 Ingredients

4 Potatoes

1 Small Onion

1 Celery Stick

1/4 Cup Flour

1 Egg

Step 1
Peel and grate your potatoes, onion and celery. Combine in a bowl.

Step 2
Put your flour into your mixture of grated ingredients then add an egg. Mix this through well because if any portion of the mixture doesn't have egg in it, it will not stick.

Step 3
Using a frying pan, cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

That's all it takes to create delicious homemade hashbrowns that are a healthier and cheaper alternative to store bought ones.

BLUE AND PINK BABY CUPCAKES!

Hey everyone,
I feel like I haven't done a cupcakes recipe/inspiration in a really long time so that is why I decided to do one now. I seriously make cupcakes all the time but only sometimes get around to photographing them. I made cupcakes on the weekend and thought they turned out so cute and wanted to share!

I used my Dark Chocolate Cupcakes recipe to make the base and the icing is just sugar, butter and food colouring with a couple of different items used to decorate. These are mini sized so of course that means that they are easier to eat and great for young children.
