Easy Peasy sweet potato , ginger and lime soup

Hi my lovlies

         I tried out this delicious recipe a few months ago and just had to share it with you all, this has to be the nicest soup I have ever tasted ,So fresh and suprisingly filling.

First of all you will need..

4 sweet potatoes (peeled&chopped)

3 tbsp of olive oil

2 onions (peeled&chopped)

Roughly 5cm of root ginger (peeled&chopped)

1 clove of garlic (peeled&chopped)

1.1 ltr of chicken / vegetable stock

Juice and zest of 2 limes

225ml of creme freich 

Method

Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the chopped onions and cook until soft and slightly see through. Next add the ginger and garlic and cook again for a further few minutes. Add the chopped sweet potato , cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally to ensure the ingredients don't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Stir in the stock and allow to simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft. Allow to cool for 5 minutes then liquidize and add the lime zest, juice, creme fresh and serve.

It is as easy as that and takes around 30 minutes and thats including prep. 

Hope you all enjoy, but for now its love , hugs and kisses from littlepainted me xxxooo

The wonder that is coconut oil

Hi my wee lovelys.
Todays i thought i would do my blog  on coconut oil,  I heard sooo many people rave about this product that i thought I would join in on the hype, but little did i know i already had the wonder that is this product in my cupboard the whole time!! My partner uses it for his cooking but i didnt even bat an eyelid as to what it was as to me it just looked like a white lump of lard (the nasty stuff my mum dumped into the chippan back in the 90s to cook chips) well let me tell you all right now this stuff is AMAZING!!! We purchase ours in our local super market and its £5.99, which is a bargin considering its multiple uses, it comes solid but when scooped out and rubbed together it melts sooo good!! My god lads like this can be used for EVERYTHING!! Firstly i started using it to remove my stubborn waterproof mascara , which took it off like a dream might i add! I also suffer really badly from  dry skin on my legs and arms so at night i started using it all over my body, the only down fall is i used to go to bed smelling like a coconut cream biscuit and looking like i took a swim in oil!.Not attractive! but in the morning after showering it off my skin was as smooth as a babies!!like seriously smooth and looked so radiant! I  have also tried it as a hair mask as i have bleached a section of my hair blonde and it has mended any damage that i have caused while doing so. Honestly though where does this stuff end!! I have seen tutorial of people using it to whiten their teeth but i can just bring myself to trial that just yet!! Maybe soon , and when i do i will be sure to let you all know how i get on.
I hope you all have a fab saturday, love, hugs and kisses from littlepainted me xx
