Well, the weather in London has been going up and down like it’s trying to lose a policeman hot on its trail. Sunday was dreadful but it SNOWED properly, which made me run around my flat with a big grin on my face. And stomp out into the street on sunday when it was slushy and all the charm had dissolved into limp, gray sludge that covered all the streets.
My eats from tuesday are always really boring and spastic because I’m usually running around doing who knows what and doing to and from class.
AND because it’s veggie week (my fave!) I’ll share with you some special things to do with fruits and veggies!
 I love veggies! Favourites include: Squash, Sweet potatoes, lettuce, carrots, cabbage, brussels sprouts, parsnips….okay I can’t pick. I love them all. Roasted, raw, steamed, you name it, I’ll eat it.But wait until you see what else you can do with them!
But no matter how scattered I get, there is always WIAW. At least the name adds some sort of organisation to the fact that I never actually post what I ate on wednesday or tuesday or even in one day usually.
Let’s begin. I look forward to sundays because I get to go to the market but the farmer’s market is also there. As I’ve mentioned before, there is usually some sort of deal box that I like to get. Usually it’s great, but not this week. 
There were eight apples here- most of which were rotten inside, or at least which had weird dots inside. I was afraid of bugs, so ended up binning most of these, sadly. The avocado and lemons aren’t for eating, but for something I’ll show in a moment.
So I took the good apples and was going to make applesauce out of them but ended up with a mess instead. 
I guess I’d left the stove on. They were CHARRED the next morning. I felt horrible, because my flat mate said the whole corridor had been smoking. WHOOPS.
I love a good bargain, I’m sure you know. There was a coupon for this milk in the Waitrose Weekly so I took them up on it, knowing full well I dislike cows milk. It’s not actually bad though, this milk. And the peanut butter was on reduced, which you can see by the top and it’s state of disrepair. I also have peanut butter that I’ve made- but whatever. You can NEVER have too much nut butter, right? Plus, I’d never tried this kind.
 check it!
I had loads of Chestnuts that I finally decided to roast. Now, I may or may not have bought these in December, intending to roast them when I went home for the holidays, but never ended up doing so. Yes, I’m sure you can guess that they were pretty much hard as rocks when I roasted and peeled them. So I decided to soak them.
I had this strange idea that I’d grind them to make a spread.
The spread isn’t featured in this breakfast, but peanut butter was. This was the first time I’ve really SPREAD peanut butter on something before, so I was really proud. Somehow, nut butters are scarier when I actually eat a portion, rather than sticking my fork into the jar and taking microscopic bites. Sounds weird to you, it is weird and something I”m trying to get away from. A serving of fat isn’t going to hurt me, no way!
I love the combo of nut butter + cottage cheese + maca powder + necterine on a wrap.
speaking of fat.
Butter and cinnamon on (admittedly) white toast. It was on reduced. Childhood treat, right there. Where has butter been for the past couple years?!
 cinnamon is so photogenic
Our flat had Bollywood night last week. We’d previously had Greek night, so this was the sequal. My flatmate, who is ethnically Pakistani made us all Biryani which I loved- so spicy! I was really nervous about this night because I know that Indian food usually has lots of Fat involved, and I took 2x as long to walk home from work in hopes I’d miss it. Alas, they were still eating when I arrived at the flat. But do you know what? I served myself some rice and Biryani and ate alongside the rest of them. The fat didn’t hurt me. I am not fatter. I felt fine, and had a great time! A couple months ago, or a year ago? No way would this kind of flexibility happened.
 Cheers!
Remember the chestnut spread I told you about? SO GOOD.
 roast with chestnut butter and dried apples
Chestnut Spread
2 bags chestnuts, roasted, soaked
pinch stevia
3 tbsp milk of choice
1 tsp cinnamon
BLEND and serve
 TRY these!
I recently tried Trychips , which the company sent me to review. All I have to say is, please get these! They sent me three flavours; Aspire (Green Tea), Endeavour (Acai), and Supercharged (Maqui). These are crunchy and full of real fruit flavour- no soggy Special K strawberries here. They were a mixture of all sorts of fruits you’d expect to find dried, and those you’d not think of. I loved the dried bananas dipped in peanut butter and they are puffed dried, not fried like the normal dried banana chips.
Thanks so much Try for letting me Try these (heh). And yes, the multiple packs I was privided with are very nearly gone except for the banana parts, which I’ve saved 
We interrupt this message for a bit of SNOW
 So much Snow!
I’ve got three awesome recipes to share with you now! Remember last week when I shared this picture with you?
 Guess who?
Well a couple of you guessed eggs and you’re right. But not to eat! The whites of these eggs went into my pancake monday pancakes, while the yolks went….into my hair!
 Cracklecrunch
Attractive, I know. But hear me out. If you’re like me, and your hair gets that limp, straw-like quality in the winter, you’re probably looking for something to do about it. If the chemicals in Herbal Essences aren’t doing it for you, give these next three recipes a try!
Egg Yolk Hair Moisturiser
2 egg yolks (if your hair is especially thick or long, use three)
2 tbsp water
mix with a fork
Massage through wet hair.
Let sit for 30 minutes
Rinse in COLD water- DO NOT rinse in warm water, or you will have scrambled eggs in your hair
 Oh hello, Egg head!
So does it work? You bet!! My hair felt so nice!
Later that day….
 Fluffy and soft. Like little bunnies.
A couple days later, I tried the same thing with Bananas.
 Smoothie? NOPE
Banana Hair Mask
2 small bananas or 1 large banana
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp water
Massage into hair
Leave 30 minutes
Rinse, Shampoo and Condition as usual.
How did this work? Well. Except that I had bits of banana ALL through my hair. Bad time to realise that curly hair = not having a brush = not being able to get banana out of your hair. I used a fork.
 Pudding?
Next up was Avocado! I absolutely detest avocado. I think it tastes like soap. But for the hair, the beautiful green colour added new life back into my hair!
Avocado Hair Smoothie
1 Avocado, mooshed/blended
that’s it.
Massage into hair. Leave 30 minutes. Rinse throughly. Shampoo and Condition as usual.
Let me know if you try them!
Love, Hannah
