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!

December/2013 Favourites

Rather than doing an 'end of year' or '2013' favourites I thought I'd stick to doing a monthly December favourites! This is simply because I don't feel that I have any way near enough favourite products of the whole year to talk about or even here with me (being at home on Christmas holidays) because I've left some things which I haven't needed these past couple of weeks at uni. So, here's my December favourites...


First up is the Sunkissed eyeshadow and bronzer which I just think are brilliant, these eyeshadows are also great over the maybelline 24hr tattoo eye shadow in 'permanent taupe'. These are available here



  
MUA lipstick in shade #13, available from superdrug here. Not only am I doing a review on this soon because it's one of my favourite lipsticks but it's also £1 and I highly recommend it!

For protecting your hair against heat this is the best product that I've found (so far) and it's available here.

I always like to keep a lip balm of some sort in my handbag and recently it's been this one from Vaseline. Available here.

Another favourite of mine from this month (a non-beauty) favourite has to be the show New Girl! I've always seen parts of episodes on e4 before and finally decided to sit down and watch them in order. I really do love it and I'm now onto the second series!



What have been your favourites through December or of 2013?

2014 and Wish List: THE SALES!!!

I found this on pinterest (here) and thought it was a great thought to start the new year with!

I hope you all had a good time celebrating the new year last night/today, Happy New Year to all of you lovely readers! Yesterday it made it 4 months since I had written and posted my first blog post and I can't believe how well my blog has done, getting nearer and nearer to my first milestone now.. 100 followers! That itself gives me so much motivation to continue to post regularly (when I'm back at uni it does get a lot harder) but I'm going to try and post at least twice a week. Another resolution, or more of an aim is to get myself a part-time job this year so that I will be a lot better off financially. But, I can only TRY with this because I've been applying and going to job interviews for a while and I still don't have one so we'll see and hopefully it'll happen very soon!

Anyway, on with what this post was originally aimed at.. my wish list of the sales!



5. Miss Selfridge top £15.00
7. No.7 Mirror £15.99

Do you have any new years resolutions? What's on your wish list?
