Disney on Ice

Couple days before Christmas Eve I got a small surprise date night. I hate surprises, I canno't stand when someone is saying something's happening, but won't tell what it is before we actually are there, it drives me completely crazy.

Anyway, my boyfriend he arranged tickets for O2 Arena in Greenwich to see Disney on Ice. The show was great a little Disney moment while waiting to get back to Disney World in Florida!

At the beginning of the show Zootropolis came on ice to have a small start, they were dancing on ice and all the people in the Arena were able to dance with them on their places.
I have to admit that the average age was around 5 years old, but that didn't matter, we had lots of fun there.

We had a small bucket of popcorn there, unfortunately it was huge disapointment, it was sweet popcorn, I really don't like it too much and the popcorn was cold. I was expecting almost as nice popcorn that they do in Disney, I could live with that popcorn.
Anyway everything else about the show was pretty great, we liked it a lot. There were Peter Pan, Lion King, Ariel and her friends, and the final characters were Frozen.

Mickey Mouse GInger Bread Cookies (gluten free and vegan)

We are half way of December already and next week is Christmas week! To make our tiny room a little christmassy we bought a small christmas tree we decorated with the christmas ornaments we bought from Disney World last September.

Every year I love making ginger bread cookies, but this year I made them with a new recipe I never tried before. 

These ginger bread cookies are refined sugar free and vegan and so tasty! I wasn't sure how these are gonna be, because I was using some of the ingredients for the first time in my life. 

I wish I would have used more of the spices, since when I tried the cookies I didn't get too much feel of ginger and nutmeg, but still they tasted pretty great ! 

2 Cups of        coconut flour 

1/4 Cups of     Blackstrap Molasses 

2 Tbsp             melted coconut oil 

2tbsp               Tapioca Starch 

2tsp                 Xantham gum / baking powder

2tsp                 Coconut sugar / other sweetener
                       splash of water 

                        Ginger 

                        Cinnamon 

                        nutmeg 

                        clove

Add the coconut flour, spices and rest of the dry ingredients into a bowl and since the mixture doesn't really taste good smell it and if you think you need more spices just add it. I didn't add any amount for the spices, because I usually add them according which flavours I like the most. But you can start with 2-3 tsp of all of the ingredients and add up from there. 

Next add the black strap molasses and coconut oil and coconut sugar (or another sweetener you are using) into the dry ingredient mixture. Start mixing it with your hand and you can add little bit water in to make form a dough. In case you wish to use another kind of flour you can do that but you might not necessarily need add the water, because coconut flour needs more liquid than other flours. 

when the mixtures is looking like a nice take a bit of Tapioca Starch and sprinkle on a table and roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to do the cookies. 

Bake in the over in 200°c for about 10 minutes or until the cookies looks ready

My favourite Winter warmer

It’s first of December, and officially you can have all your christmas decorations in place and no one doesn’t think it’s too early for Christmas. 

Perfect winter warmer after coming back home from the cold weather is Loving earth  organic creamy drinking chocolate. It is perfect combination with homemade coconut mylk. 

I wasn’t sure if I would like it, since it doesn’t have any sugar in it, little bit coconut mylk chocolate and coconut  nectar. 

However I decided to try it out, since I love their chocolate bars and they are amazing! 

When I bought the chocolate powder I tried it with supermarket bought unsweetened almond milk, to be honest I wasn’t really big fan of it, probably I needed to get used to for the taste without sugar. It was one of the first days I got into homemade nut mylks and I got an idea to try it with the coconut mylk, after that I was completely sold for it. 

Next time when I went to Planet Organic I had to buy another container of it, since the cashier wasn’t sure if it’s gonna come in store anytime soon and it was the last one. 

I have to admit that it is not very student budget friendly, but worth of every penny! There was also the choice of dark chocolate, I didn’t try it because I’m not sure if I’m still getting some allergic reactions of dark chocolate.
