Sweet Potato Salad

One of my new years resolutions was to try and eat healthier, fresher food. I am slowly making changes to my diet to try and include these foods into my everyday routine, this is one of my new favourites along with salt and vinegar kale chips (recipe soon)! You can use whatever quantities of the ingredients you like, it's completely up to you depending on how big a portion you want. 

Chop the sweet potato and drizzle with olive oil, cook for 10 minutes.

Finely chop 1 quarter of the chilli and a small bunch of corriander. Add half a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the cous cous and cover with boiling water.

Take the sweet potato out of the over and add the chickpeas and cook for 10 more minutes.

Combine all of the ingredients and your tasty salad is ready! Super healthy and really delicious.

Bannana and Nutella loaf cake recipe

Today I saw this amazing looking cake on Pinterest and decided to have a go myself. The recipe is from 'Zoe Bakes'. It was so delicious that it is now almost all gone!

You will need -
2 ripe bananas
250g caster sugar
125g butter
60ml milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
375g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
a pinch of salt
4 tablespoons Nutella

Method - 
Preheat your oven 170c, grease and line a loaf tin. Mix together the butter and sugar in a bowl, then add the egg, milk and vanilla extract.

Combine all of the dry ingredients in a separate bowl then sift them into the milk mixture. Soften the Nutella in the microwave and add half to the cake mixture and stir. Pour your mixture into the lined loaf tin then spread the rest of the Nutella over the top. Pop into the oven for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean!

The Nutella on the top goes beautiful and crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside - amazing!
