Vegan Phad Thai Bowl

8/26/2018

It's Phat Time to get started!

Picture

Today I wanted to share another recipe that is just the epiphany of lazy student recipes for when you can't afford to go to the Thai Place to buy take out!

This recipe is 100% vegan, you can add meat (or sea food) if you like!

Ingredients

Plain rice (100g)
1/2 Cauliflower
1/2 Broccoli 
2 Bellpeppers (diced)
1 Zucchini (half slices)
Olive Oil 
Lemon
Tine piece of Ginger (optional)
Soy Sauce

Spices: Chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder

Picture

Start cooking your rice if you own a rice cooker this will be the easiest part. 
Boil cauliflower and broccoli pieces in another pot for about 10 minutes, drain them from the water. 
Put oil in a fry/pan hybrid (or a regular fry pan that has a lid) and add all vegetable slices and dices. 
Fry them for a good 10-15 minutes on low heat while preparing the sauce. 
The sauce consists of 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder & ground up ginger. Mix together and add to the vegetables, then add about 200 ml of water, stir and put the lid on the pan. 
Let the vegetables soak up the sauce and stir a few times until most of the sauce has been absorbed, if needed add a little more oil to the mix and stir fry on low heat. 

You can spice the finished vegetables with anything included in the sauce, if you want. 
If you bought a whole cauliflower & broccoli, cut them apart and freeze them (don't boil them) for later use.

And that's it!

Today I wanted to share a recipe for one of my favourite foods, a mexican style sweet and spicy bean soup. Doesn't sound that exciting? - Well, keep on reading! 

This recipe can be easily adjusted for vegetarian and vegan foodies! 
I put alternative ingredients in brackets, so it's easier to filter out what doesn't fit your diet.

Ingredients

1 small onion, diced
​2 potatos, diced
400g pork, diced (400g pressed tofu, diced)
300ml chili sauce 
1 bellpepper, diced
500g green beans 
250ml cream (200ml coconut milk)
Vegetable oil

Spices: 
Salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, soup cube

Fry onion dices with oil in a pot until they become clear, then add pork dices (or tofu dices) and cook them fully. Turn off the plate and add water, soup powder/cube, vegetables and chili sauce. Boil for a few seconds and then let it cook with the lid on for half an hour. 
Finally, add the cream (or coconut milk) and spices, stir and let it boil for a minute again. 
If you want to freeze a portion of it for later, do so before adding the cream!
Spices go in last.

You can add some parsley and enjoy it with bread or a baguette, alternatively it makes a great burrito side dish!

Altered #001: Yellow Dress

8/17/2018

Welcome back! 
I decided to share more of my life on my blog recently, and one of those is being cheap and alter clothes I own or thrift. 

A colour I absolutely loved the past months was mustard yellow. I blind-bought a dress at Forever21 and couldn't get yself to wear it, because it was just too tight and left me looking like a mustard-covered sausage. 

I decided to cut it apart and turn it into a crop top and pencil skirt for summer, which - let's be honest - was the only way to give this dress at least a short lifespan. Sausage dress was not going to be donated to a thrift store and turn another person into a pressed piece of meat!

The finished piece!

There was no need to add an elastic to the skirt since it was tight enough around the waist anyway. 
Even after summer I can imagine wearing the skirt with an oversized black sweater and tights.

That's all for the dress alteration, I will try and share more of my (more complicated and post-worthy) sewing adventures, so stay tuned!

Welcome back! 
Today I got a new cosplay make up tutorial for you, this time it's for Futaba Anzu from The Idolmaster - Cinderella Girls. It's a very simple look that can easily be modified for characters with similiar looks & features some of my favourites: Soft pastel eyeshadow, Candy Magic circle lenses & natural lashes.

Products used: 
Fit Me Foundation (Maybelline) 110 
Conceal & Brighten (Rival De Loom) Nude 
Camouflage Cream (RL De Young) Nude 
Colorstay Powder (Revlon)
Extreme Last Liner (Manhattan) 
Stay On Balm Rouge Lip Balm (Canmake)
3 Steps Palette (RL De Young)
Colossal Big Shot Mascara (Maybelline) Black
Color Eyebrow (Heavy Rotation) Color 2 
Dip Eyeliner (Manhattan) Black
Lash Serum EX (Avance)
Drawing Eyebrow (Etude House) Light Brown 
Eyebrow Pencil (Rival De Loom) No. 1

The lenses I used are Candy Magic 14.5mm circle lenses, compared to deep colour contacts that I often use for cosplay these ones are thinner, smaller and therefor easier to wear for a longer amount of time. 
They made my eyes quite big, so I didn't want to add on false lashes. Normally I like the look of that, but for a younger looking character like Anzu it's better to keep the eye make-up to a minimum.
