What I've been up to this week #4

 I thought I'd start my "what I've been up to this week" series so let's catch up !

started the week by making an apple pie. I didn't really follow a recipe but basically I put a layer of puff pastry at the bottom of a pan, then cut a bunch of apples (we had loads that needed to get used because we picked up a too good to go bag) so I used 7 apples, eye balled the sugar and cinnamon then put another layer of puff pastry on top and cooked it for 45mn. It was very nice!

mum finishes work later than usual this year so I said I'd make dinner as often as possible so she does’t have to worry about it which was the case that day. I made homemade chips (I cut a bunch of potatoes into small pieces, covered them in oil and added salt, garlic granules and rosemary then cooked in the airfryer for an hour), curry flavoured courgettes and chicken with oriental spices! It was also very nice

I also reached my goodreads objective which I've already changed twice because I reached it already. I started the year by reading like 7 books in 3-4 months then was in a reading slump because I started a really boring book then I read like 10 books in the span of 3 months so I'm very glad to be out of that reading slump!!! 

speaking of books here are the books I read this week. I finished reading the coldest touch which I LOVED, then I read strange houses which I read in less than 24 hours because it was so good, then I read strange pictures from the same author which I also read in like 10 hours and then I started reading one last song but I decided to put it as did not finish on goodreads because it was so boring in my opinion ahaha!!!

went out for a beer with my best friend. My favourite beer is always fruit beer which doesn't always agree with my blood sugar but it's always worth it in my opinion!

I go to the well-being health center every few days to see different doctors and one of my nurses signed me up to a group therapy activity group and it's a cooking group!!! Which I'm very excited about. It actually started last week but because there were only 2 of us (+ 2 nurses) they invited us to the restaurant (and paid for everything) so that was a bonus but that meant we only started actual cooking this week! We made mash with leek fondue with chicken and we made an apple crumble as a dessert! I wonder what we'll cook next week !

then I got the train back home 

mum got this alpro dairy free milk in a degustabox a couple months ago and I just rediscovered it in the cupboard and I ended up drinking the whole bottle in 2 days. I'm dairy intolerant so I've tried so many different dairy free milks, my favourite is oatly barista milk (the grey bottle) and alpro (because they also do yoghurts !) but this has already become a new favourite so I'll have to look out for it in the shops!

had to change my cgm (continuous glucose monitor) and put this cute patch on it, I get all my cgm covers from type one style or organising chaos 

cooked up a storm yesterday and spent the whole afternoon cooking. I made: a bluberry pie (same recipe as the apple pie but I used 600g of blueberries instead!), homemade chips again, cauliflower cheese (steam the cauliflower then to make the cheese sauce: melt a bit of butter, then add flour and milk I then added 300g of cheddar) and lastly it doesn't look very appetizing but it was very nice, I made a tomato and balsamic glaze salad!

I wonder what I'll be up to next week!! :)
