What Am I Taking At A Level ?

Helloooooo..... 2 posts in 1 week ! I am on fire, haha.
 I have just started my A-level courses at sixth form so I thought I would share what I took with you.

I took ...

Maths
Biology
Chemistry
Geography

I am interested in all these subjects and I am enjoying these lessons. I have no typically 'fun' lessons but to me all of mine are fun. As I'm not a very englishy/theatrical/creative kind of person, I dropped all those kind of subjects soon as I could.

I hope you enjoyed this little update

Hasta Luego

Busy School Day Breakfast Idea

Hey ! Sorry for being absent for a while, starting sixth form has been busy and full of work, so I have not had time. But I'm back and hopefully I can post a bit more from now one xx
 
School mornings are always very busy for me, and squeezing in a nice, health and energising breakfast can be tricky/almost impossible.
I had a new idea recently which eliminates this and it involves pancakes, so what is not to like ?
 I thought I would share my recipe with you and what I do to get them ready for school mornings.
I usually make these on a Sunday and there is enough for 3 days, usually.
 
You will need :
 
2 bananas, 2 eggs, heaped 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 tsp baking powder, coconut oil and if you are feeling adventurous an extra flavour e.g. a few drops of vanilla extra or 1/4 tsp of cinnamon.
 
To create the pancakes :
 
1) Put all the ingredients (except the coconut oil) into a blender and blend until it is smooth, if it looks to thick add some water.
 
2) Leave the batter to stand (this allows it to thicken slightly) whilst you heat up a frying pan (non-stick ones are best)  with some coconut oil, get out your flipping device and a plate to put your pancakes on.
 
3) Spoon a dollop of batter into the pan and spread it out so it is around the size of a mug. Flip when it bubbles slightly on top, it should be golden brown on the bottom. Then flip again when the other side looks golden brown.
 
4) Place your pancake on a plate. And continue dolloping and flipping. If you are skilled it is possible to do multiple at once (depending on the size of your pan).
 
 
5) This recipe usually produces 10 - 15 pancakes.
 
6) Now for the organisation part, split the pancakes into piles of 3-5. This should be the number of pancakes you could eat in a morning. Each pile will be for a day.
 
7) Wrap each pile in some non-stick paper, add a day label.
 
8) Put in a box and place in the fridge. This ensures they are easy to grab in the morning.
 
 
These can then be taken put the fridge and heated up in the microwave in a couple of seconds. I usually add yogurt/maple syrup/fresh fruit/granola to add more energy and healthiness.
 
I find this is the perfect before school breakfast as it is full of energy and tastes great.
 
I hope you enjoyed this post.
 
Thank you for reading.
