Foody September Favourites | Indulgents

Announcement Time:

My Blog Name has changed to Urban Foot Print but the website name will still be amberoseblog.blogspot.com. If you find this confusing please contact me and I will change the domain but I think the hassling of moving is too much, but if you don't fancy it I will change it. Anything for you guys! 

Right now onto the favourites:

So your probably thinking 'why are there chocolates on my screen making me extremely hungry!?'  I'll tell you why. This is my Foody September Favourites. I have never seen this done before, so I am pushing the boat out. I cant promise every pick in this post will healthy or beneficial to yourself in any way, (if pleasure is beneficial than there all super good for you), 

but September is my calm before the storm. The storm being December which is my 'ultra indulge in anything you like while trying to be moderate but absolutely failing' month!

So my first pick are the Areo Bubbles Love To Share Pack. I am obsessed! I love, love, love how they melt in your mouth with a mint chocolate part at the bottom, there is one good downside though. After exceeding your recommended amount they start to get a bit sickly forcing you to stop. I am not going to say that is bad though, because you do have to eat everything in moderation. Wow I am teaching a lesson I can't even do. 

I have also been loving Belgian Waffles, I can honestly say, hand on my heart that these drizzled with a honey (a small squeeze of course) are the most delicious snack/breakfast/dessert you could have. Toast for 30 seconds and you will get a crisp outer shell and a sweet dough in the middle. The honey is just an additional added bonus which I choose to take! I did say this post was going to be unhealthy.

Now these are a newly found delight, a perfect snack for on the go and are a regular show in my break time snack! These do contain fruit but is counterbalanced with white chocolate (my favourite kind of chocolate)! You might think 12 bars is a lot but all will be revealed at the end of the post!

And the last foodie thing for this September favourites is Actimel, I know it's a drink but it is one of my favourites and I have never tried the blueberry one but it has become instantly one of my favourite flavours in the Actimel range. 

I wont be posting on any sites for a week as I will be travelling, sorry. I won't have any internet connection or availability to a computer, I am sorry guys. The reason I bought 12 cereal bars is because I will want propers snacks to munch on while on my holiday.

I hoped you enjoyed this new post. I have not seen a post like this so I thought it could be a bit different. I hope you liked it.

Tutorial Tuesday | Raspberry Smoothie

Tutorial Tuesday's back! This post will attempt to teach you how to make a raspberry smoothie. Send me your pics at amberoseblogs@outlook.com or tweet me using the hashtag #amberssmoothie. It will look at all of them.
I am sorry for being inconsistent with the Tutorial Tuesday...Hope you enjoy nonetheless...

You will need some vanilla/greek style yoghurt. I just guessed and filled the mixing cylinder 1/4 of the way full.

I then added 3 handfuls are sweet raspberries...

Fill the cylinder half way with milk and mix with a blender...

and this little beauty came out of all this. It quick and super simple and also really healthy. If you wanted to make even healthier you could use 0% fat yoghurt, instead I added a spoon of sugar. Woops! Hope you like this post. If you want more smoothie recipes let me know in the comments below. Follow if you like my posts! Share some love in the comments. Thanks Friends,

My Lush confession...

Couldn't resist taken a shot of this, I may or may not have jumped in next to the mannequin. Mannequins rather scare me actually after that Doctor Who episode! Are any of you scared of mannequins or am I the only one...

I love this bird in a tea cup effect, mannequins can't keep out my photo. That's right I see that cheeky hand popping in! Anyway guys just thought I would share that with you. If you want to see even more of these than drop me a comment. I read every one and they mean so much when you give time and effort to leave one. Thanks friends.

A Day In a Castle | 24 Hours

Tutorial Tuesday: I Baked Cookies | Take 2

Inspired by Tanya Burr

So today I decided to bake some white chocolate cookies and show you how I made them. Now I am not going to lie there were a few disasters in the making, such as pouring more flour on the camera rather than the bowl! But when disasters where diverted the result I was definitely happy with! Enjoy!

You will need: 

200g Butter (room temp.)

300g Caster Sugar

1 Large Egg

325g Self Raising flour

A dash of milk

200g White Chocolate

200g Milk Chocolate

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 200°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.

Step 2:

Measure the sugar:

 and butter.

 and mix away, mix until everything is incorporated in the mix.

 Then add the egg (minus the shell, it would be helpful, trust me I know).

and once again whisk away until the mixture looks similar to this!

Measuring the flour time!

 Gradually add the flour to the dough mix, bit by bit and if it is a bit crumbly (like mine) add a bit of milk so the mixture comes together.

Now shape the cookies and evenly distribute the chocolate!

Bake for 10-12 mins, leave to cool for 30 mins (how cruel, how can I wait 30 minutes for cookies)?!

 And here is how they turned out, and to be brutally honest with you I loved them. They were gooey in the middle but had a lovely crunch on the outer shell (ohh get me trying to be all posh)!

No editing was done to this photo so you can see its true beauty! 

This is my second time at making cookies and you could be a cookie guru or a disaster waiting to happen when it comes to cookies, but these are the most simplistic cookies you could make, I mean even I could do it. If you decide to make them send me your pics. 

What you're favourite bake?
