Brownie in a Mug

Hey guys I hope your all well today I'm going to show you how to make a brownie in a mug!


You will need...
4 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (don’t use anything that has sugar added to it)
2 Tablepsoons sunflower oil
2 Tablespoons Water
pinch of salt

Add the sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt to the mug and mix. Then add the oil and water and mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Be sure to be thorough, there’s a tendency for clumps of the dry ingredients to form.


Microwave on high for roughly a minute. You may have to microwave it longer or shorter, depending on your microwave, but the brownie should still be wet in the center when done.


Let me know if you made this?

5 Tips for a Stress Free Christmas

Is the idea of Christmas stressing you out?...well, here are a few tips to help you have a stress free time:

1. Think ahead

Know how many days you have left and plan different tasks to do each day, so that it's not a last minute panic.
2. Ask people what they want
Don't waste hours thinking of what to buy people, it's easier just to ask!
3. Shopping Online
Shopping from home avoids the crazy Christmas crowds and can save money at the same time.
4. Don't look for perfection
Nothing ever will be perfect so just relax and enjoy the Christmas spirit.
5. Make it fun
You can have so much fun making your own tree decorations, baking and watching Christmas movies.

This is what our Christmas Tree looks like this year

Lots of love

Easy Decorations for Gingerbread

Oh hey there, I hope you're enjoying Blogmas so far! The other day I baked some gingerbread and decided to finish them off today by decorating them in three easy and fast ways.

You will need:
Gingerbread (homemade or bought)


To make a small batch of icing you will need:
1 large egg white
230g of icing sugar
1tsp lemon juice
food colouring (various)
Suggested decorations:
Smarties, chocolate drops and sprinkles

Biscuit Frosting
1. Beat together the egg white, the lemon juice and the icing sugar until the frosting is stiff (like meringue).
2. Then place the icing into a zip lock bag and push the mixture to one corner. Snip a very small triangle off the bag.
3. Next pipe a border around the outside edges of the biscuit.
4. Let it dry

Here are the three designs:
