W.I.A.W: The Graduate.

This is kinda a what I ate Monday really, as i have been so busy moving I haven't done any baking and eats have been very snacky and and sporadic! Packing up and moving is definatly one of the most stressful things Can't wait to get settled in and for everything to be be sorted... but in the mean time here is my W.I.A.W(monday)

I have consumed hella diet cola and berries and made this tasty and very pink beetroot, strawberry banana et soya smoothie concoction. Served up with a peanut buttaaa pittaaaa on the side. Defiantly going to be whizzin' up more smoothies in the future this was delish but I'm going to add protein powder to beef up my next batch.

  On Monday it was my graduation from university! My parents came down for the ceremony and we celebrated. here I am feeling a bit uncomfortable in all my gown and glory...

 Collected my diploma... Its official I am a bachelor in the art of fashion.

 

Getting giddy and feeling like I was at Hogwarts...

toastin' with some bubbles and my dad.

 For lunch I sat on outside with a Marks and spencers gluten free Egg Mayonnaise sandwich and diet coke.

 

Some people want presents and flowers when they graduate... but I demanded Frozen yoghurt as my treat.

blueberry frozen yoghurt topped with fresh strawberries and cinnemon apple sauce.

The ceremony was 3 hours long filled with lengthy speeches and bizarre fanfare it most defiantly dragged on.. I mean... Im only interested in hearing my own name called out, sod the rest of ya. It was a really fun day and nice to reflect upon 4 years of hard work, but its was also tinged with a little sadness...finally saying goodbye to my student life.

After all the pomp and ceremony I returned home, tired and weery but had just enough energy to rustle up some supper...  me and Mr Bake and Beebz had alot of fun making this homemade GF pizza.

have you been to a graduation ceremony, did you enjoy it?
oh and whats your favourite smoothie flavvahs?

What I Ate Wednesday.

 Breakfast.

 

Homemade oaty appley protein bar. recipe to come ;)

 Bobbin assissted in helping me sort out some University work.

 

Then we ate Lunch

A sort of luxurious student's lunch of Smoked Salmon a top of scrambled egg whites and the M&S gluten free bread I purchased yesterday.Bobbin looked longingly on as a chowed down. The bread roll weighed a ton! It was dense and very dry, but toasting it halved, and a good slavering of 'I can't believe its not butter.' sorted it out.

 

Obligitory Diet cola

 On research, The internet reliably informs me that all of the American candy stash i have if GF! Waaaahey... snacks ahoy.
Banana and mini mallow cup consumed...

 Dinner Time!
Curried butternut squash with roasted chick peas and aload of veggies.

Sippin' on hot cocoa and cuddling up this is creature now.

Holey Moley: A big ball of wool and a bowl of guacamole.

size comparison against dog.

Spent the majority of this week locked away on my knitting machine making a giant ball of yarn! this wool will be hand knitted into one of my final garments for my final degree, and finally I have used up all my wool and the garment making can begin. But first these biceps need an good rest.

In other news... i recieved the new limited edition MAC Wonder Woman lippy!

WONDER WOMAN!

POW! just look at that packaging! I love the shade, its a very usable everyday nude pinky colour tone.

Tonight im making a mexican feast for a friday fiesta at home.
so i rustled up some home made guacamoley in advance with some very ripe avocadoes that were on offer.
combine and mash together:

• 1 ripe avocado
• half a shallot
• lemon juice
• crushed garlic
• table spoon extra light mayo

perfect for dipping or smushed in a tortilla with some chili.
