Spinach and Egg Cups

I've never written a food related post before let alone a recipe I made up myself but here goes! I first saw something similar to these spinach and egg cups on pinterest here. I was looking for something to make which included both eggs and spinach for breakfast when I cam across this link, but as I'm not a fan of mushrooms I decided to give it my own twist. If you wanted to re-create this with your own ingredients too, let me know what you decide to use!

So, firstly the ingredients which I used were:

• eggs
• spinach
• bacon
• red onion
• salt & pepper

Firstly I boiled the spinach for a little while until it looked slightly wilted (you don't want to do it for too long). At the same time I fried the bacon and red onion so they were mostly cooked before putting them in the oven. I then cracked the eggs into a bowl and added the spinach and bacon and onion.

I wasn't sure how many eggs and whatnot to use so I just had to guess with it being the first time of making these, and I ended up with 8 cups from using 5 medium eggs. I also added salt and pepper to the bowl to taste (I just love pepper) and mixed it all together. I put them in the oven for around 10-15 minutes and I was surprised at just how quickly they cooked!

And ta-daaaaa! I was really impressed with these little cups they tasted amazing, even if i do say so myself. 

Let me know if you decide to re-create the recipe or have written any recipe posts yourself!

July Wishlist - Fitness

I've been looking at a lot of different trainers recently because I want to start running at least a few times a week. So to get myself motivated I thought I'd have a look at some fitness clothing too (although I'm still yet to buy any) and I came up with this months wishlist for you all.

Nike Free 5.0 Trainers

Nike Free 5.0 Trainers (black)

Shock Absorber Sports Bra

Nike Pro Hypercool Capri Leggings

Nike Shorts

As you may have noticed I am a little bit in love with everything Nike and those trainers will hopefully be purchased very soon, if only I could choose a colour.

Normanby Hall

Last week I went home for a few days to celebrate my birthday and whilst I was there I visited Normanby Hall with my family. Although I didn't get to take any photographs of the interior I thought I'd share some of the pictures I did take whilst I was there. Enjoy...

My Topshop Wish List

Every month I try to post at least one wish list, usually a monthly mix of some of the things I've had my eyes on recently. I thought I'd mix it up a little bit this month however and base this wish list on one store, Topshop! They have so many nice things in at the moment and although I know I won't be buying most of these if any at all because, well, it's been a long time since I last received my student loan to say the least. My favourite's have to be the shoes and the playsuit, perfect for the sun when it finally decides to stay here for longer than a day in the UK!

Diamond Pelmet Skirt

Knitted Short Sleeve Jumper

Blurred Floral Print Shorts

Gloss Ink in Smitten

TIKA2 Embossed Snake Skaters

Florence Gladiator Sandals

MOTO Ripped Baby Blue Leigh Jeans

MOTO Rio Playsuit

What are you lusting after this month?

Primark Haul

The past couple of times I've been into Primark I've actually seen quite a few things I like. So, without spending too much (which is easier than it sounds in Primark) I thought I'd treat myself and buy a few bits and pieces.

The first thing that really caught my eye (and was also the reason why I went back) was this blouse which was £9. I've started to have a thing for collars lately and I also really like the neutral colour. I think it can be worn in a work environment as well as being dressed down with some jeans and a jumper.

This top was in the sale for £3 down from £7 which I think is an absolute bargain. I wore this for the first time the other day with leggings, a black string top underneath it and a long cardigan and I was really impressed with it, I can't believe how cheap I managed to get it for.

Lastly are some cute Barbie socks which I really like, (I'm all for fun socks) and this gold and mint green statement necklace. These necklaces also look really good with a nice collar and jumper and I think they can make a whole outfit look so much better.

Have you picked anything nice up from Primark lately?

Blogger's Meet Up

After having a week off uni and spending it at home last week, I have come back to what seems a very busy schedule. This week I've had barely any time to sit down and write a post (staying in uni doing work until midnight last night being one of the reasons).

If you didn't already know (or guessed by the title of this post) I went to a blogger's meet up on Monday evening in Manchester, organised by Georgie a.k.a fairygobmother. It was a wonderful night and I'm very glad I decided to go as I'd never been to one before and any others that I go to now have a very good standard to beat!

The atmosphere was lovely, upstairs in a small bar I got to meet many new blogger's who I wasn't aware of before, as well as the one's who write some of the blogs I love to read. Throughout the evening we played some games of a mini 'play your cards right', got to know each other whilst having a few drinks and also took part in a raffle where the money went to a local animal charity. Georgie also organised a magician to come to the meet up (you can find him here). I still can't work out how some of the things he did were even possible but it was amazing nevertheless!

As the event came to an end we were all also given a goody bag! This was filled with so many lovely things such as the Lush products above, Diptyque body lotion and shampoo, Schwarzkopf hair spray and another bag of samples from many different brands.

Thank you again to Georgie for organising such an amazing event, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend that any of you go to a blogger's meet up if you can!
