Healthy Vegan - Caerleon

This is a follow on from yesterdays blog post. 
These picture were taken a couple of years back when we visited an area of Newport called Caerleon. I thought it would be a shame not to share them with my readers. 



We think this is Paul Flynn Member of Parliament from Newport, but are waiting for it to be confirmed.

Healthy Vegan - Chocolate Brownie's Sister: Meet Blondie - White Chocolate and Cranberries

Image
Its been a while since I've made a sweet cakey bake with lots of butter and chocolate, white chocolate to be more specific.   At one point, I couldn't remember whether I had made a  White Chocolate Blondie before, but I had  ad found it ridiculously sweet then.  I have to be in the mood for really really sweet things and this was bordering.   I took some Blondies into work and offered them to colleagues.  Some were bewildered at the existence of a white chocolate equivalent of the Dark Chocolate Brownie.  Of course they were amused.   Sadly, a few of them were not keen on the content of the dried fruit and declined my generous offer, but if you want to dive into some of these sweet bites, you can find the recipe below.  I am sharing this with Alphabakes  hosted by Caroline Makes and The More Than Occasional Baker.  The letter this month is W for White Chocolate; and We Should Cocoa devised by Tin and Thyme and hosted this ...

This plate is further enhanced with salad...

Healthy Vegan - Plum Crumble Cinnamon Cake

Image
The last of the plums have fallen from the trees and they have been attracting the Red Admiral and Peacock butterflies who have been feasting on them. It has been a honour to watch them on mass, though I wish D had the energy to take some pictures as they posed without care.  I have had my share of plums this year and am pleased to have been able to shared some with family and neighbours, after making the Plum Chickpea Curry, I made a Plum Crumble Cinnamon Cake which was a good change from my  awesome  Cinnamon Plum Cake .   It was really good, especially the next day.  We served it with cream. The original recipe is made with apricots, but of course I had homegrown plums . Plum, Crumble Cinnamon Cake Serves 8 Ingredients 140grams self raising flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 50grams caster sugar 1 egg, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons milk 85g butter, melted 5 - 6 plums, halved and pitted Topping 40grams plain flour 1 teaspoon ground ci...
