My plan for the year (and hopefully beyond) is to become a pro at making homemade pizza. And not only will I be attempting that but I'll also be hunting for the best takeaway, freshly prepared and even frozen pizza! Basically, I'm going to be trying lots of pizza!
So for episode 4 I'm back in the kitchen making pizza from scratch! And I'm finally using my Pizza Pilgrims book I got for Christmas and let me tell you...I loved it! This has been my favourite attempt at making pizza so far and the book is amazing, it's got some great pizza ideas and you can learn a lot!
The @pizzapilgrims book - waterstones.com/book/pizza/thom-elliot/james-elliot/9781787135154
If you have any anything you'd like me to try whether it be supermarket brands or pizzas recipes to attempt at home please let me know down below!
And if you live/work in London or Kent (the 2 places I spend all my time), where's the best place to get a pizza because when places start to open I want to try THEM ALL! 😋

I'm super nervous, plus a little bit excited, for my first ever proper reading wrap up. I'm becoming a much more confident reader and this is another step on my journey to calling myself a (part-time) booktuber!
I read 5 books throughout January and February and let me tell you, this is a huge achievement for me and I couldn't be more proud of myself. It wasn't that long ago that I'd read 6 books in a year so to do 5 in 2 months is incredible!
I'm still not that great at discussing my thoughts on books but I'm getting better and my little blue book as my guide will help me along the way.
So enjoy my ramblings on all 5 books!
Books mentioned:
To Be A Gay Man
Quite
Ramble Book
Ready Player Two
The Lying Room

So for episode 3 we're going back to the 90's and trying THE classic Chicago Town microwave pizza. Nothing like going round a friends house for dinner and getting one of these with a side of chips and beans!
Then we try out Domino's Pizza during Lauren's Cosy Reading Night and we have a bot of a disaster!

Today I take a look through my Blu Ray collection, it's quite a mixture of movies and genres.
Because of streaming services and their vast array of movies I doubt I'll add much to my collection anymore. But what I do own are some movies that will always mean something to me and play a part in my life.

Sunday 7th Feb was Super Bowl Sunday! I decided to give the NFL a good go this year and have really enjoyed getting in to it.
This year it was the Kansas City Chiefs v Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although not a classic, I had a great time watching and look forward to next season already!

My plan for the year (and hopefully beyond) is to become a pro at making homemade pizza. And not only will I be attempting that but I'll also be hunting for the best takeaway, freshly prepared and even frozen pizza! Basically, I'm going to be trying lots of pizza!
So for episode 2 you're getting two pizzas for the price of one! Firstly, I make a mushroom truffle pizza from (almost) scratch as one of our Gusto meals and then for lunch we share Sainsbury's Mushroom, Kale & Pecorino Taste The Difference pizza and *SPOILER ALERT* it's goooood!
I've got a lot to learn but excited to start this journey and if anyone is planning on giving it a go or has any hints or tips, let me know and we can be pizza buddies!
If you'd like to give Gusto a try (we love it!) here's a code that gets you 50% off you're first box and 30% off boxes for the rest of the month - cook.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=LAURE37552982&utm_source=iosapp

I'm going to be in the kitchen a lot more this year so thought I'd kick it off by showing you how I make my cornbread. I'll put down below all the ingredients and what to do, it's super simple.
Also, be sure to go check out my friend Graham's channel as he is making plenty of delicious foody videos with a Disney theme!
youtube.com/channel/UCQYwUJ2PHqlXKdr9WWiqktQ
Ingredients:
15g jalapeño chillies (feel free to add more if you like jalapeños)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
325g coarse polenta
100g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
250ml wholemilk
4 large eggs
100g frozen sweetcorn (feel free to add more or use a couple of cobs instead)
200g cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons cottage cheese
Method:
1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 200C and grease a deep baking tray and line with greaseproof paper.
2. Roughly chop jalapeños, add them to a bowl and mix with the cider vinegar.
3. Add polenta, flour, baking powder, milk, eggs and a pinch of salt in to a bowl.
4. Add the sweetcorn to the bowl. If you use cobs, cut off the corn (no need to cook it beforehand) and then add to the bowl.
5. Crumble the cheddar in too little pieces and add to bowl along with the cottage cheese.
6. Drain the cider vinegar from the jalapeños and add them to the bowl.
7. Give it a really good mix (for a few minutes at least!) and then add to the deep baking tray.
8. Pop in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden on top.
9. Place the cornbread on to a wire rack to cool.
10. Slice the cornbread and ENJOY!!

With all the food taking up all your fridge and freezer space over the next few days before the big feast, you need dinners for the next couple of evenings!
So why not go and treat yourself to one (or two, I'm not judging) of these festive fast food offerings for dinner instead! Except for Subways...yuk! 😊

Want to make some yorkshire puddings over the festive season? Then you've come to the right place!
They're super simple to make and below are the ingredients and the oven time you'll need (other than mine! 😆).
140g plain flour
4 eggs
200ml milk (I use semi-skinned)
Sunflower/vegetable oil
Thyme (optional)
Step by step guide -
STEP 1
Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8.
STEP 2
Drizzle a little sunflower/vegetable oil evenly into the tins and place in the oven to heat through.
STEP 3
To make the batter, put 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in 4 eggs until smooth.
STEP 4
Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on beating until the mix is completely lump-free. Season with a pinch of salt.
If you have the time, then leave batter in fridge for an hour or if you're able to, overnight but this is not essential. I've used the batter straight after combining and still got awesome yorkies from it!
STEP 5
Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes.
STEP 6
Place the tins back in the oven and leave for 15-20 mins until the yorkies are (hopefully) massive and have browned.
Good luck if you give them a try and be sure to let me know how you get on!

I enjoy the odd beer and I like to expand the old palette nowadays, so that's why I signed up with Beer52, a small company that sends me lovely beers from all over the world every couple of months.
This isn't sponsored or anything like that but if you'd be keen on signing up and trying a box for half price (£12) then I've added the link. With that you get 8 beers, a snack (maybe 2!) and a nice little mag with loads of information about beer. And if it's not for you, you just cancel your subscription! Simples.

No matter what technology we have at our fingertips, I love sitting down with a highlighter and selecting what I'm going to watch over Christmas, it's a silly tradition but one that I love and one that'll I'll keep doing until they stop being made!
What's everyone else looking forward to watching this year?

Can you believe I've never built a gingerbread house! Well not anymore! I needed Laurens help because I'm useless when it comes to decorating as you might well know but it was fun being her apprentice!

I love going out and seeing what houses around us have done for Christmas. And I just feel like people put more and more effort in every year. And we need as much Christmas joy as possible after the year we've had. I was not disappointed! There were some fantastic decs up and was great to see so many people go all out!

All the wonderful people who I'm friends with over on Instagram sent me in their Christmas assumptions of myself and here's me answering those assumptions.
That's pretty much it! Enjoy!

Christmas songs are great! Don't get me wrong, there are some awful ones but that almost adds to the enjoyment of them.
So I've picked 10 of my favourite! Do you agree with my list? What are some of your top festive tunes?
I think I said I'd link all the videos below but you all know how YouTube works! 😊

Today we try some delicious snacks in the crisp, chocolate and biscuit variety! Everyone deserves a few nice treats throughout Christmas this year, hopefully some we've tried today might just take your fancy!
What's been your favourite festive treat so far?
Also, apologies for the dip in video quality today. I've had nothing but trouble editing/exporting this video (you do not want to know how many hours I've spent trying to fix it) and this is the best I could get it!
Normal video quality will resume tomorrow...hopefully! 😁

The Christmas adverts have become a bit of an event over the past 5-10 years. And we love them! It's great to see how creative companies get with their festive adverts especially after the year we've all had.
There's so many that I decided to split this in to 2 parts, so keep an eye out for part 2 later on this month.
If you'd like to watch the adverts without us tucked in the corner, I've popped all of them in this handy little playlist -

Now I love a Christmas film, in fact I could have probably done a Top 30 list but who's got time for that!
So I narrowed it down to my favourite 10. I'm sure you'll recognise and will have probably seen most of them. I wonder if you can spot the clip I had an issue with...😆
What are some of your favourite festive films? Let me know below!

Oh yes! Today is the day for the legendary Christmas Treats Table. As always I go a bit overboard but if you can't do it at Christmas, then when can you!
Have you got a Christmas Treats Table? What's on yours?

Today I attempt some halloween baking and decorating. Now, if you've seen my past vlogs you'll know they didn't quite go to plan.
One thing I will say, you can't fault my effort!
Make sure you stick around till the end for a couple of festive announcements!
