H O T C H O C O L A T E | and biscuits. Today my back is very sore (probably shouldn’t have gone for that walk this morning!) so this afternoon we are snuggling up and having hot chocolate and ginger biscuits - no I didn’t make the biscuits, at 38 weeks pregnant sometimes you have to make allowances and realise you can not do everything! They are the @ikeauk ginger biscuits which remind me of winter when I lived in Norway. We made our favourite hot chocolate which is really easy to make; • 1 cup plant based milk (I use @oatlybarista • 2 tsp cacao powder • 2 dates • 1 tsp tahini (always @belazu_co) • 1/2 tsp cinnamon Blitz everything together and heat! Perfect for autumn and winter days! . . . . . . . . #plantbased #hotchocolate #hygge #fika #scandiliving #scandinavianfood #gingerbiscuits #ikea #ikeafood #vegan #wholefoodsplantbased #pregnancy #pregnancyupdate #38weekspregnant #ceramics #slowliving #treats #momentslikethese #momentsilove #biscuits #sweettreats #wanderlust #everydayparenting #gentleparenting #pregnancylife #foodstyling #oatmilk #plantbasedmilk #cacaopowder #dates

F R E E Z E R M E A L S | Antony is away tonight so I thought that I would grab some leftovers from the freezer tonight. There was only a portion large enough for one (plus a bit for Rowan which he did not eat!). It was the quinoa chilli so lovely and warming for an autumn day plus has now made extra space in the freezer for stocking up before baby arrives, I should be further on with getting the freezer stocked as I’m now almost 38 weeks pregnant but it is difficult to batch cook with a toddler! I’m heading to @marksandspencer tomorrow so I think I will get a few things from their food section to put in the freezer. Now it’s time to switch off and get ready to watch @britishbakeoff . . . . . . . . . . #vegan #vegetarian #quinoa #chilli #veganchilli #veganmeals #freezermeals #leftovers #veganleftovers #avocado #batchcooking #babyprep #pregnancy #pregnancyupdate #almosthere #foodblogger #foodblog #everydayvegan #autumnfood #comfortfood #foodstyling #eastlothian #scotland #seasonal #eatseasonal #organic #homemade #plantbased #wholefoodsplantbased #veganfood

R I C C I A R E L L I | I have very fond memories of ricciarelli, they are little Italian sweet almond biscuits that are a bit like macaroons. They are incredibly quick and easy to make and the perfect sweet treat for autumn days. My brother in law used to make these but now my sister has an allergy to almonds hasn’t made them for years. As I had a couple of egg whites left over I thought I would make some! I love baking with Rowan and these were great to make with him. However he decided that they didn’t look like or biscuits so when they were cooked he wouldn’t eat them! His loss and my gain!! I use Ursula Ferrigno’s recipe which is really simple and easy to follow from her book Truly Italian. I don’t think it is in print anymore but if you can get your hands on it it is a great vegetarian Italian cookery book. . . . . . . . . #ricciarelli #almonds #almondbiscuit #baking #bakingforcomfort #homecomforts #delicious #italianfood #italianbaking #foodblogger #foodstyling #foodstylist #autumnactivities #autumnbaking #ceramics #icingsugar #biscuits #eastlothian #eastlothianfoodanddrink #edinburghbloggers #scottishblogger #hygge #fika #feedfeed #f52grams #macaroons #vegetarian #magicmoments #eatseasonally #letmeeatcake

3 7 W E E K S | we’ve made it little one, you can come any day now and you will be perfectly healthy and happy. It’s been a difficult week though but thankfully everything is ok, after being sent for another growth scan as my midwife thought you were measuring small again, the scan showed you had dropped off the growth curve you were following so we were sent for monitoring at the hospital. Thankfully they said that your original growth curve had been over estimated so you haven’t slowed down your growth and are growing perfectly so we have nothing more to worry about. Now we just need to relax, rest and prepare for your birth. Laying down to be monitored has hurt my lower back but I’m sure that will go in the coming days, we are doing lots of gentle stretching to ease it. This afternoon I read stories to your big brother while he stroked, talked and kissed you. It will not always be like this but I’ll take the fleeting moments of cuteness and remember them when he is being too rough! Enjoy your indoor home for as long as you need it little one but I can not wait to meet you once you are on the outside. I will still snuggle you and keep you just as warm and safe all curled in my arms. . . . . . . . . #37weekspregnant #pregnant #pregnancy #gentleparenting #awaitingyourarrival #cantwaittomeetyou #cannotwaittomeetyou #siblings #newarrival #autumnbaby #octoberbaby #slowliving #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyupdate #twoundertwo #storytime #openuptoautumn #moodcollectors #momentsthatmattertome #sharealovenote #reading #cosy #hygge #autumn #snuggle #eastlothian #scotland #gentlemothering #motherhood

A P P L E C A K E S | soft apple pieces encased in a beautiful cinnamon cake is simply one of autumns joys. Our apple trees have not produced much fruit this year, definitely need to prune them better this year! I can not reach any of the remaining apples that are on them, but then again I am almost 37 weeks pregnant so I’m not going to be climbing up any ladders! The recipe for this cake is an old one from my blog just search for Norwegian Apple Cake on my blog. It was inspired by the delicious apple cakes I ate when I lived there. I just made these into small individual cakes rather than one large one so baked it for 25 minutes rather than 45 minutes. I have another growth scan tomorrow as the baby was measuring smaller than at my last midwifes appointment. I know it is due to the babies position, it is definitely far down in my pelvis as my lower back is getting very sore now. It is still an extra worry though at this time even though I’m doing my best not to let it stress me! . . . . . . . . #autumn #baking #hygge #apple #apples #applecake #foodandflatlay #everydayhygge #autumnfood #homemade #mycommontable #kitchentable #homecomforts #seasonal #eatseasonal #cake #feedfeed #f52grams #36weekspregnant #vegetarian #autumnlight #delicious #homegrown #slowliving #appleharvest #scottishblogger #eastlothian #foodstylist #fika #scandifood

H A P P Y A N N I V E R S A R Y | 3 years of marriage, almost 2 children later (about 1.9 😂🤰🏻) and lots of adventures we are still here. The weather definitely isn’t like it was on our wedding day and Antony is away tonight so we will have a small celebration at the weekend but the last three years have definitely been the happiest of my life. It doesn’t mean it has always been easy but with each day we grow more together as a couple. I can not wait to see what the next year will bring (apart from a baby!). We got married outside right here where this photo was taken, it was a truly magical day! For those of you who don’t know my incredibly talented sister @harrietwildwoodstitches made my wedding dress! I can’t wait to wear it again one day! . . . . . . #anniversary #weddinganniversary #wedding #autumnwedding #outdoorwedding #weddingdress #homemadeweddingdress #handsewnweddingdress #scotland #loch #blueskies #eternallygrateful #takemeback #beautiful #landscape #highlands #scottishhighlands #marriage #36weekspregnant #wanderlust #lifesmoments #love #octoberwedding #autumn

S O U P A N D B R E A D | on cold autumnal days having a larger pan of soup on and bread in the oven is one of the most comforting things. This is just my simple lentil and tomato soup with wholemeal sunflower seed bread. Nourishing, warming and very homely. I’m now 36 weeks pregnant and food like this is just what I am fancying. I think there will be a pan of soup on the hob everyday, especially with the weather turning colder this week. . . . . . . . . . . #vegan #hygge #soup #vegetarian #lentilsoup #autumn #veganfood #foodforthesoul #foodandflatlay #mycommontable #vegansoup #vegetarianfamily #ceramics #organic #organicseptember #foodblogger #foodstylist #foodstyling #eastlothian #edinburghblogger #scottishblogger #slowliving #seasonal #seasonalfood #kitchentable #slowfood #scandiliving #tomatosoup #bread #baking

B E E T R O O T B U R G E R S | after the early start today quick and easy meals have been needed. Thankfully we had the stromboli’s ready for lunch and I made these beetroot and carrot burgers yesterday so perfect for a quick dinner tonight! They are really simple to make anyway but have been a lifesaver tonight! I served them with sweet potato chips, salad, pickled red cabbage and a tahini (always @belazu_co) yoghurt dip. I have finally discovered the importance of letting vegetable burgers chill in the fridge before cooking them but it makes such a difference. The texture of these was great and they have smoked tofu in them too (I use @tofooco) so the flavour had a wonderful smokey earthiness. They are definitely going to become a staple this autumn! Fingers crossed for a better nights sleep tonight! The recipe - 2 beetroot - 2 carrots - 1 small onion - 1 garlic clove - 1 cup oats - 200g smoked tofu - 1 egg - 1 tsp ground cumin - 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Method - place the carrots, beetroot, onion and garlic into a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Add the remaining ingredients and blitz until everything is incorporated. Mould the mixture into six burgers and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or longer. Fry in a frying pan with little olive oil until golden on both sides. Enjoy! . . . . . . . . . #beetroot #beetrootburger #beets #carrots #tofu #smokedtofu #tahini #burgerbowl #vegetarianrecipes #vegetarian #plantbased #veggieburger #wholefoodsplantbased #foodandflatlay #seasonal #homegrown #organicseptember #sweetpotato #sweetpotatofries #salad #food #foodblogger #foodblog #autumn #autumnfood #quickmeals #simpledinner #scottishblogger #ceramics #foodprep

E A R L Y S T A R T | Rowan woke up at 3.30am, I got into his bed and snuggled him but he wouldn’t go back to sleep. At 4.30am he jumped up got out of bed and went to the kitchen so at 4.48 we were in my bed eating porridge and reading stories. Yes now he is watching @sarahandduckofficial on the iPad because at 35 weeks pregnant being awake since 3.30am is really tough. Hopefully he will go back to sleep at some point!! If not we have a very sleepy day ahead of us. The photo is a bit blurry but the lighting is not great at 4.48 in the morning 😂 but it is reality today. . . . . . . . . . #porridge #oats #vegan #cinnamon #earlystart #mumlife #motherhood #35weekspregnant #toddlerlife #bed #stories #childrensbooks #mother #needmoresleep #ceramics #toddlerbreakfast #foodblogger #reallife #foodblog #foodandflatlay #autumnmornings #autumn #snuggles #reality #parenthood #hygge #scottishblogger #eastlothianlife #wouldntchangeathing #veganfood
