Mushroom Soup |Slimming World

As the dark nights are approaching, I am finding myself wanting to eat everything in sight!

I love nothing more on a cold dark evening to be wrapped up in a fleece blanket and fluffy socks eating all the things I shouldn't be!

Like this evening, impatient for my Tea, I went scrambling into the fridge seeing what naughtiness I could find.

After realising I have probably already eaten the last chocolate bar yesterday..

I decided I would stop being lazy looking for a quick fix of stodge and make myself a soup.

Not just any soup.. a balanced, healthy and tasty soup.

So I quickly decided on a mushroom soup. As I have been a member of Slimming World since January, I have accumulated many books and recipes, the recipe I used here is out of the 'Slimming Worlds Little Book Of Soups.'

I have got admit this recipe is simple, quick and most importantly delicious! It has a small range of ingredients, so not too much time to prepare.

Its great for a snack, meal or to take to work in a flask.

I just eaten mine and it gave me such a warm, full of goodness feeling. You cant beat that feeling on a day when your not feeling 100%.
If your not a lover of mushrooms then this probably isn't the soup for you.

For people on Slimming World Extra Easy, this soup is free!

So if this has tickled your taste buds, go on treat yourself by cooking a lovely winter warmer soup!

Here is the recipe:

2 garlic cloves chopped
1 potato peeled and diced
500g button or chestnut mushrooms chopped
1.5 litre water with stock cube/jelly
Salt n pepper
Fresh parsley to serve.

Add all veg to a non stick saucepan add fry light and stir fry on a medium heat for 5-6 mins unitl brown, then add the stock.

Bring to Boil, then cover and let simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Season well.

Remove from heat and blend.

Sprinkle with parsley to serve.

And ta-dahhh a lovely soup ready for you and your family to enjoy!
What you waiting for?

Enjoy.

Bye for now.

Nails Inc |Gatwick (Matte)

Well hello there, I know its been over a year since my last blog post, but hey ho and I'm here now.

To start with I thought I would show you one of my favourite autumn/winter nail varnishes. I only got this a couple of days ago, however its made a huge impact on my nail varnish collection. This meaning I am so in love with this colour I will rarely change it. Its the Nails inc London (matte) gatwick nail varnish. At first glance I thought it looked great in the bottle however I wasn't rushing to apply this colour as I thought it might be great for Christmas but not for late September.
As soon as i put this polish to my nails, I knew it was going to be an fall fave!
 The matte application gives it a dull finish, which I think is perfect for the autumn.
The cosistency of the polish is smooth and consistent. A lot better than a matte colour I have used from Avons range. I refrained from applying a top coat as I didnt want it to become shine and it did chip quite a bit. So I applied a a thin layer of top coat and it didnt affect the matte too much, and it lasted much longer. 

I know nails inc can be a pricey nail varnish to most of us but when you find something you like, you just cant resist. I will be definitely trying some more of the matte colour range and digging out a few of my own for the months ahead.
Thanks for reading,
Bye for now.
