yum



#foodporn


So im pretty fucking obsessed with food as my friends and instagram followers would know, so ive decided to share with you a very very very simple recipe that tastes so good, it was also very popular on my insta and that is Chocolate chip cookies. These cookies go in about a day in my house, and everyone who tries them goes back for seconds!


The photo below is off my insta (@rubymackenzie) and is the batch of yummy cookies that i made.




Recipe:

So pretty much all you need is:
  • 150g softened butter
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 3/4 cups plain flour
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate bits
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate bits

Step one -

Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick paper. Beat 150g softened butter, 1/2 cup caster sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and well combined. Beat in 1 egg.

Step two -  Stir in 1 3/4 cups plain flour in two batches. Stir in 1/2 cup dark choc bits and 1/2 cup milk choc bits until evenly distributed. Spoon tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place on the lined trays. Press down slightly.

Step three - Bake for 15-18 minutes or until light golden and cooked.

MY TIPS: Make sure you sift the flower and other ingredients so there are no lumps and remember when rolling the balls make sure they are distributed evenly and not put too close together, because once i put them too close together and came out with i giant cookie.. not good!


HOW EASY IS THAT!!!

DENIM X2


The 80s/90s is where it all began.. it was the vintage era and it is slowly making a come back. Double denim is no longer seen as a double no-no and has started to appear on cat walks and on many blogs around the world. Vintage is in and denim is about as vintage as it gets so retailers such as sportsgirl, minkpink and even country road have started introducing pieces in the collections.



 
MY RE-MAKE OF THE DOUBLE DENIM LOOK

I dug through my wardrobe and pulled out a few pieces of denim that i thought would work well layered together. The skirt is a darker blue that my sister found at the camberwell market for around $15, and top is minkpink and was around $25 and the jacket/jumper was just lying around the house so these outfits are cheap and easy to create. I topped off the look with a dark maroon lippy, sun glass's and converses.




 
The double denim in the 80s/90s was out of this world cool, but personally i wouldn't be walking down the street in what they used to wear.. but hopefully this can give you more of an idea of how to rock the denim on denim look.

Again always love hearing feedback
