My husband loves Panacotta, especially one from the Co-op with chai flavour. However it is rather expensive £3.50 for two small pots! So I decided to make them myself today as a treat for the husband before he goes to China.
I also cooked a lovely Nandos inspired meal. Mmm
Baby blip was not too happy to let mommy cook, but wanted to be carried. Really hope the teething soon stops!
Panacotta recipe
(Makes 6)
It’s super easy
Ingredients
250ml milk
250 ml double cream
25 g sugar
3 gelatine leafs
(Vanilla, or teabags or whatever flavour you desire)
Method:
Soak leafs in cold water
Add milk, cream and sugar to saucepan together with flavour. I added flavour with 2 earl grey teabags. Bring to a simmer (don’t let it burn).
Take out the teabags or vanilla pods etc.
Take of heat
Squeeze water out of gelatine letters.
Add to milk mixture and mix it together. When mixed well (gelatine de solves) add to ramekins or glasses.
Leave in fridge to set min one hour I would say longer.
Now turn onto plates, I’m lazy leaves them in glass
Put decorations on
And eat!

I'm a single mum with two adorable kids, Flipper and Blipson, they will be known as here.
Until January 2019 I was working, but we found it wasn't compatible with my partners work pattern and the many hours he worked. Hence, I gave up my job and focused on the boys.
Then, me and my ex-partner decided to split up at the end of 2019 and it has been a rollercoaster ever since, to get to terms with being a single mum. Managing a life just with them, moving house and starting on a fresh. Luckily, we still have a good relationship and happily spend time together with our kids. Which I believe is so important for them.
It's hard having given up a job and then suddenly finding yourself on your own, however, it is for the best. I hope at one point in time to start working again. But until Flipper start school, (he is 3 but we are deferring him a year due to his hearing impairment), I'll probably stay at home as a stay at home mum.
The good thing is, I have always been good at budgeting and stretching my money. Being a foodie doesnt always go hand in hand with being on a budget, however, it does make you creative. Because of this, we eat quality meals but on a budget.
And this is what I would like to share with you guys.
I have long been considering if I should start from scratch with a totally new blog or just continue on this one. I have decided to continue on this blog, as the past will always be a part of who I am.
Love
Metti, Blipson and Flipper
