HOMEMADE VEGETABLE PAKORAS (SLIMMING WORLD FRIENDLY)


Doing Slimming World i often find it difficult to find things to snack on. I much prefer savory food so it's hard to find something that covers the craving without being really bad for me. I first came across these when i was looking at something to cook the girls for dinner and i knew they'd be perfect! They're so easy to make and really filling too so they certainly fill that gap between lunch and dinner. The best thing is they're 100% free so you can eat as much of them as you want, perfect! 

You will need: 
2 large white potatoes, cooked and mashed to a firm consistency with no butter or milk
1 red onion, diced.
½ large bag of frozen chopped vegetable mix (sweetcorn, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower)
2 tbsp curry powder (use mild, medium or hot to suit your own taste) 
3-4 tbsp fat free yogurt 
1 egg, beaten 
Fry Light

  1. Pre heat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Place the mashed potato, diced onion and defrosted vegetables into a bowl and combine thoroughly.
  2. Stir the curry powder into the yogurt and add this to the vegetable mix and stir thoroughly.
  3. Beat the egg and add it to the mixture, stirring constantly. The mix should still be quite firm, but if it's too runny add more vegetables.
  4. Line a baking tray/wire rack with baking paper to prevent the pakoras from sticking, and spoon the mixture onto the tray in tablespoon sized ''dollops''.
  5. Spray with Fry Light and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes - or until firm on the outside and golden brown
  6. Allow to cool slightly so that the pakoras firm up.

SUMMER HOLIDAY SHOPPING


TOP // HAT // DRESS // CARDIGAN // SHORTS // SUNGLASSES // BAG // SHOES

In exactly 2 and a half weeks i'll be on my way to Morocco with DIPXO! My parents went a few years ago and loved it so much Dad has always wanted to take me. This year is my lucky year as he's whisking me away for a tourist trip to Marrakesh for 5 days and i'm so excited! Since losing so much weight since last summer (2lbs off 3 stone!) none of my summer clothes fit me which is awesome but expensive at the same time! Wanting to respect the culture I've bought shorts that come to my knees, t shirts and then maxi dresses for the evening which i can wear cardigans with. I know it'll be really hot over there so hopefully i won't melt and what I've got will be fine! I can't wait to go somewhere new and the fact the sun will be shining is even better!

Have you been to Marakesh before? Any tips?

WHAT I WORE

 Tee - George @ Asda | Trousers: Lashes Of London* | 
Shoes: Primark iPad Mini Case Marc Jacobs

Ahh neon, i still love you so and how amazing are these trousers from Lashes Of London? There's a matching top which i'm just going to have to get, obviously. I love these lace detailing and i think they'll be perfect for cooler summer days. I decided to team it with my neon Marc Jacobs iPad mini case which i like to use as a clutch bag as well, it's the perfect size.

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that there's been two new additions to our bachlorette pad, two beautiful 8 week old kittens! They are the cutest things ever, so teeny tiny and so cuddly! They're both sisters   and hate to be apart from each other (they cry when they can't see the other!) they always sleep together and wash each other too! Honestly, my heart melts. I'm trying not to overload Instagram too much with photos of them but owwww they are so gorgeous! They've been driving me insane for the past 2 hours so i'm very pleased to say Beyonce is now purring her sleepy head away on my chest! Ah peace at last! 

I'm off for a meal out with the rents tonight which i'm so looking forward too! It was my Dads birthday yesterday and even though i see my parents more now i'm back in Leicesterhsire we haven't been out for a while so i'm very much looking forward to a propa catch up and some laughs! 

As i get asked about Slimming World a lot now i thought i'd do a whole dedicated post answering any questions or queries you might have. I thought it was easier to have it all in one place and hopefully it'll be helpful! If you have anything you want to know please feel free to ask away and i'll get the post up over next week.

I'M LOVING... ICE CREAM NAIL POLISHES

Speckle - £4.95 / Colour - £2.60
I am an absolute sucker for anything with cute packaging, and these polishes are a prime example of that. I found these whilst browsing eBay a few weeks ago and i fell in love with them straight away as i'm sure you can imagine. It was really hard to narrow them down but i thought i'd get the ones i'd most likely wear when we eventually have our summer! I love these polishes, for the price they're really durable and are very true to colour. Easy to apply with days of no chip! Now where's the sunshine..?! 
Do you like these? Which colour will you be purchasing?
