Noodle Soup

Image
I love using recipes with noodles in, pad thai, stir fry, ramen, so my noodle soup is no exception. I usually make soup once a week trying new recipes or even making my own. This recipe was inspired by my mums chicken noodle soup which she used to make for us as children. I have now adapted this recipe and made my own veggie version however if you'd prefer you could always add some chicken in. This recipe is loved by my whole family and is usually stored in the fridge during the week for us to grab and eat for lunch or dinner so I hope you enjoy!

Exploring food in Amsterdam

Image
Just over a week ago I ventured out exploring the city of Amsterdam with my sister. As a foodie when I travel I get very excited about food, researching where to eat before I go, reading blogs, watching videos etc. I made a list of the top places on my list to eat, which I lost just before I left. However this worked in my favour allowing me to set out and explore for myself and also do a bit of research late at night in the hotel room.

The Breakfast Club The first morning of our trip we set out for some brunch, spotting a small cafe on our walk to Central Dam called The Breakfast Club. I ordered a green smoothie, yoghurt with granola and fresh fruit. My sister opted for the matcha pancakes (something we've both never tried before) and cappuccino. This was a great spot with good quality food, they also had many meat, vegan and vegetarian options catering for everyo
