How beautiful is this personalised cracker from @suitesspa ?
They have asked me to ask my followers and see if I should be naughty or nice this Christmas?
Should I pass on the treats to a loved one or keep them for myself?

Pixi Pretties! I couldn’t think of a more perfect name for this collaboration! So pretty and fun. The Maryam Maquillage lip and eye sets would make the perfect stocking filler. (No, I never said the C word). But it’s soooo close! 🤣🎄

I had to pull out the one and only @clinique Moisture Surge! 
An all round good egg. Perfect to zap some moisture into the skin.
A little of a morning or a thick layer (think face mask) of a night. 
Leaves the skin sooooo hydrated and soft. An oldie but a goodie! Can’t be without it.

Aubergine & Bean Bake

I am a huge carb lover, but unfortunately (weeps) they do not like me.

Pasta, noodles , chips, crisp and more chips. Well I could gauge on them all day every day. But I end up looking 9 months pregnant and it feels like I have a tonne of bricks strapped to my stomach.

I fancied Moussaka or Lasagne over the Bank Holiday, so I decided to try and made a carb-free alternative.

I basically chucked together a load of vegetables that needed using up, and it turned out pretty spectacular. Much better than I had anticipated to be honest.

Because well sometimes these great ideas of mind can end up straight in the bin. 

(SO HAPPY THIS WAS NOT THE CASE)

Aubergine & Bean BakeAubergine & Bean Bake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 aubergine
  • 2 tins of mixed beans
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 red onion
  • 10 cherry tomatoes.
  • 1 courgette
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon of cajun spice
  • 3 cloves of crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 70g of grated mozzarella
  • Handful of parsley to garnish
  • 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil

Aubergine & Bean Bake

Method:

  • Wash the aubergine and slice into 3cm round pieces.
  • Season with a teaspoon of salt and fry in a pan with no oil for 2 minutes on each side. (This prevents the aubergine from having a soggy and chewy texture).
  • Once all the aubergine slices have been cooked, remove from pan.
  • Add Olive Oil sliced red pepper, courgette, red onion, garlic, soy sauce, cajun spice, paprika, and pan fry on a medium heat for 5 minutes.

Aubergine & Bean Bake

  • Add passatta, sugar, beans and vegetable stock cube and stir and simmer on low for 5 minutes.
  • To a rectangle oven dish add a layer of aubergine.
  • Spoon on the bean and vegetable mix.
  • Sprinkle half the mozzarella over and repeat the process.
  • Bake in the oven at 180C (gas mark 4) for 20 minutes. 

Aubergine & Bean Bake

I served it with a side salad, and couple of tablespoons of coleslaw.

The aubergine added a hearty layer to the bake, and I can honestly say I did not miss the pasta at all.

I think the cheesy crispy topping SO made up for it.

Aubergine & Bean Bake

You could add any mince or chicken into the bean sauce too, or opt for a vegan cheese alternative.

This recipe is really adaptable, and can be suited to your dietary needs.

Do you think you may try?

I love Christmas, it’s my favourite time of year. But, yeah, erm, I am so sorry for throwing a BUT into the mix. For the majority of us it can be a little overwhelming, it can become a non-stop stress fest. The planning, organising, visiting, shopping, wrapping, cooking, more wrapping, writing cards, the tree. The […]
