New blog format

As most of you have noticed, I have been rather scarce on the blog for the last few months. It's been quite time consuming to write up the recipes from scratch every night after dinner so I've decided to post pictures of what we're having for dinner and a link of where to find the recipe. Let me know if that's alright or if you'd rather I posted the full recipe on the blog. 

I'll add a few tips and any changes I've made to the recipes to make it extra easy and yummy for you guys.

For my first updated food post, I'll simply post about what I ate today:

For lunch, I made Millet Croquettes and Parmesan Celery Salad. It does sound really healthy (which it is!) but it's also really tasty.
Changes: For the Millet Croquette, I followed the instructions to make the batter and then baked it straight away - with 3 eggs mixed in - until the top was golden brown and crispy. As you'll see in her recipe, there is a whole process I didn't have time to do so I left it out. Simply baking it also uses less fat and thus makes it more healthy!
The Celery Salad is surprisingly tasty and super easy to do! Let it sit for about 20 minutes before serving so the celery has time to soak up all the lemon and olive oil flavours.

After lunch, I was still hungry and craving chocolate so I turned to one of my favourite, 'guilt-free' dessert blogs (that also happens to be vegan!) - Chocolate Covered Katie for yet another great recipe of Brownie Batter Pancakes! I do tend to follow her recipes to the letter, especially with regards to the quantities, otherwise things can taste a bit funny. I did add a bit more sugar though....

For dinner, I used up the last of our butternut making this delicious Borlotti Bean and Squash Mole.
Feel free to leave out the cocoa if you're not a big fan of mole (Damon isn't but I still managed to sneak a bit of cocoa in the dish and he liked it :-)
Changes: The original recipe asks to bake for 2 hours - again, for time constraints, I didn't. I left it on very low heat in the pan for an extra 15 minutes and it came out delicious. Serve with some bread to scoop up all the delicious sauce.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post - let me know if I can edit anything. I'll try to post daily or at least weekly from now on :-)
