How to: Cook Egg and Tomato Bake!

Geplaas deur Unknown om 08:50 0 opmerkings

Todays recipe is perfect if you don't have much time to cook and want a quick meal. This will take less than 30 minutes including preparation and cooking time. It's ideal for lunch, although you can eat any time of the day.

So lets get started!

You will need:

(Based on serving for 3 people)

* 1 tablespoon cooking oil
* 1.5-2 cans of tinned plum or chopped tomatoes
* 2 red onions
* 2 garlic cloves
* salt (to taste)
* chopped fresh corriander
* 1 teaspoon of ground cummin powder
* 2-3 Peppercorns
* Black seeds (nigella seeds-optional)
* 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
* Eggs
* Baby spinach
* Cheese (I'm using cheddar)
* Toast or bread to serve

First heat the oil in a pan and add the onions. Add a little salt to help the onions to dissolve. Once the onions are softened add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and let cook for further 2 minutes. Add the black seeds, peppercorns, ground cummin powder and salt to taste and cook for a few minutes on medium heat. Sprinkle in chopped corriander and cook for 1 minute there after the mixture is complete.

Next you need to plate up the mixture into small bowls. Each bowl will serve one person. First spoon in some of the tomato mixture and then crack 1-2 eggs. Add some baby spinach on top and grated cheddar cheese (or any other cheese).

Finally heat the mixture in the grill for around 10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese has melted. Serve with toast or bread.

Geplaas deur Unknown om 08:41 0 opmerkings

I'm obsessed with accessories so I'm always on the look out for ways to store them. Whilst in Primark I noticed this accessories hanger which I think it a great idea! thought I would share this with others that are on the look out for storage ideas. It has 11 hooks which is generous for the price of £2. You can hang in your wardrobe or on a nail on the wall.

For my other storage ideas have a look at my videos on Youtube

Please let me know what you think of this tip :)

Until next time take care xx

Outfit of the Day: Whip your hat back and forth

Geplaas deur Unknown om 13:45 0 opmerkings
Excuse the title I just couldn't help myself!

Today was a freezing day of about 2 degrees Celsius- perfect for wearing my winter hijab and bobble hat! (One of the joys of living in a cold country). Some girls love shopping for shoes and others for jewellery. I'm a girl that's kinda obsessed with hats and of course hijabs lol. I have a few other hats which I will show in future OOTD.

There are a mix of colours in the overall outfit but I think it works well together and showcases my style. I have layered with a few tops and finished off with a chunky cardigan. Black is a safe colour for me but I've also incorporated browns and added a fusion of colours with the hijab. I won't bother explaining where I purchased the outfit from as I'm sure you've seen me mention in previous blog posts!

Hmm I think I dropped a £5 note...
Moody much??

Behind the smile I had a snotty nose lol

You can style your hijab in many ways with this kind of hat. For one way you can watch the video below, which can also be used with other type of hats too. 

Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel for video updates :)

                                       

I want to know what you are wearing this winter! If it's hot where you are (lucky you) then also let me know what clothes you are rockin' at this moment.

Take care all and have a great weekend! xx

What I cooked today-Chicken Curry

Geplaas deur Unknown om 08:48 0 opmerkings

So this is another food post and this time its something that I cooked up! i decided to make chicken curry today and as I had a green pepper and courgette lying around (as you do) I decided to add these to it. I made white rice separately using basmati rice. I will be making a YouTube video showing how I make my rice, as many foodie addicts have requested it, so of course I'm more than happy to oblige :)

In the mean time if you want to see how I made mince meat with peppers please see my latest Youtube Video

Until next time, take care :)

My delicious food at D'Gaf!

Geplaas deur Unknown om 06:37 0 opmerkings

Yesterday I met up with some bloggers Hommes de Femmes, Frooti Beauty, Chocoholic Hijabi, Pyari Beauty and Muslimah Beauty for some delicious food and a catch up.

I've never been to D'Gaf before although I have heard of it. It's in a building which was a former pub in Stratford. The setting was okay, but of course I was more interested in the food. So after much deliberation of what to eat, I finally chose the peri peri chicken burger with chips. The burger had a sweet sauce which wasn't to my taste so I just added some ketchup! I'm in love with how they've presented the chips in a little fryer/drainer...haha don't know what its called but it looks cute.

The menu had other delicious dishes such as Moroccan tagine, risotto and lamb curry. They also had mocktails for those that love a little 'halal in the city'. I did see a sign that mentioned they have women's nights so if you like a good girls night out it may be perfect place for you. They had a section outside on the roof top that looked cosy, although it was too cold to sit outside I can imagine it would be lovely in the Summer. One thing which we all found funny was the choice of music, I think the establishment was trying very hard to be urban and hip so there was old skool music playing such as Blackstreet which I love, and Dre, Snoop Dogg, which would have been fine but they had chosen the uncut versions....

I didn't take any other photos of the dishes everyone else had as I left my camera at home and as you can tell my camera on my phone is pretty rubbish. However check out the other blogs for photos of the food, and of course just check them out because their blogs are amazing!
