healthy junk food---macaroni cheese

It's been very bizzzzy lately. I didn't seem to stop all through January. And then, last week of the January, I had a slight cold. I don't usually get cold, but it got me a little bit. I had a little bit blocked nose and sneezing. Last Sunday of the month, me and Marcus went to local "beauty spa" where he teaches tai chi. We had good steam and bit of a swim which worked very well with my cold, it went away. I felt much much better after that. Here in England, it's been getting colder and colder also, didn't help me having cold. Anyway, sometimes I fancy my junk food ie; macaroni cheese, chips, kebab, pizza, you name it, all sorts. One day this week I cooked "healthy macaroni cheese". To be honest, it's more like pasta bake with some rocket. this is what I cooked.

My shopping list: vegan sheese(Scottish Cheddar style vegan cheese), oat milk, garlic, potato flour, gluten free pasta, chili, spinach(very important!), and soya mince(for protein). I made "cheesy sauce" with oat milk, grated garlic, veg stock, grated sheese, and potato flour(thickening agent). In a meantime, cook past and drain. Mix sauce, soaked soya mince and pasta, into a dish. Cover with wilted spinach, sprinkle chopped chili and grated sheese. bake it for 20min or so. serve onto hot plate, garnish with dressed rocket.

I was going make more proper macaroni cheese-like, but you know me, I just had to twist and got a little carried away. I didn't have a dessert. I was stuffed! mind you, there was plenty for me to take some to work for my lunch on following day. And even cold(room temperature), it was delicious! dead eazy to make, cheap, healthy and yummy, can't really complain!☺   I seem to have cake cravings every now and again, I had to bake vegan(gluten-free, sugar-free) mocha cup cakes this evening. I'm usually o.k without eating cakes as long as I munch my home made energy bars(balls). Anyway, this is what I made this evening. I was going to make it as a loaf, but cupcake form seemed to be easier to take as a pack lunch. So that's what I did.

I thought they were going to turn up really funny. Because the cake mix was really runny, I thought it wasn't going get raise. But actually it turned up being just right. Oh, I'm pleased. It's really tempting to put some caramel icing on top...maybe next time...☺☺☺ I'm going to go for my session tomorrow morning with Andy, so, those cupcake will be my lunch tomorrow! I always enjoy my ''keep-fit '' classes, enjoy my friends company and chat. One sat of month, we do 4 hour session doing karate kata, shaolin 108, taichi spear form and some leg work. Sounds hard core, but actually not bad. I love them! Grounds me lots♥♥♥  And great fun! 

Now, I'm going to check on e-bay, then chill out for rest of the evening.
