What's this? Sid. Cheeky little coffee break on our morning walk. Sid. Sid. Good morning.
How we doing? Welcome back to another video. I hope you're all well. As you saw I took Sid out
for a little walk this morning. Tried to basically get that in before it starts chucking down with
rain. It looks pretty grey out there hence why we are going to be having a day at home,
very chilled. We're going to be getting crafty. Me and Poppy did a clay video not that long ago
on this channel if you've been keeping up to date and today is round two so who knows what we're
going to make but we have some clay I need to get out of our little craft cupboard actually. I'm
working with HelloFresh on this video. There is the big old box over there way full of lovely
ingredients. I'll tell you a little bit more about that later on. Probably going to aim to
have a lovely fancy lunch midway through our crafting. That's what we're up to. I don't
actually know where Poppy is so I'm going to go call her, get her to come downstairs and we can
start thinking about what we're going to make. This is one of our many boxes of arty crafty bits.
Stunning. They're all yours, I don't know what happened to mine. Actually I do know,
it was a fail. So we've got our clay, we've got our tools, got our inspo. Hello mate,
you're very interested today. Okay so what are you going to make? I'm going to attempt to make
a tea light candle. Sydney, Sydney, she's got this thing at the moment where she thinks she
can go on the dining table all the time. Not today. So you're going for a tea light holder?
Yeah not like this. Not like that? No, it's too big but I'm going to use this as a mould.
Might get creative with some like geometric shapes on that. I'm going to do a little like
flower coaster, so like about that big for our cups of teas. What's that?
Not, not linked to me. You've got like two cups on there look. No. Bloody hell you're not messing
around are you? Look, I haven't even cut mine in half yet. You gonna add some detail in there?
Maybe. I might make a pot after as well. Oh cute. Now I've got to get it off.
Maybe you should have put some flower down. Excuse the pun.
I'm just a bit confused. Me too. What is going on? I rolled it out about four times,
I've made various shapes. This is why. You can't fail again. It's so simple. Make something
really simple. It's not. I'm trying, I've tried to make very simple shapes. What is that? I did
this because it felt nice. Is that a snake? That's a snake. Maybe I'll just make snakes. What's that?
That. For your candle? No. No, no, no. We forgot about it. Okay, we'll report back in a bit then.
I'm not gonna lie, I think I'm the fail one today. I managed the flower and then the pot,
the clay's a bit old and we think it's just not sticking very well so
it's a plain pot. It was gonna have flowers on it but whatever.
You've got a hole. You've copied my squiggle balls. No, that's original. That's a Sean Elliott.
I don't know what you're talking about. What's this? I just really like the idea of having that
on the side. Okay. Just like that. Abstract. Doesn't need to be anything else. Snake,
incense holder. Yeah, snake incense holder. The idea is that the incense stick fits in here and
it just chills and it's like, oh my god, I have an incense stick. I think I was thinking about
cheese straws and I was like, I'm kind of hungry, could I have a cheese straw? So I did a twizzly
clay thing. That could be an incense holder. Yeah, look. Oh my god, I'm also an incense holder.
So, on to lunch. Like I mentioned earlier on in this video, I'm working with HelloFresh today.
We've been using them for a good couple of years now. We use them for a few reasons.
It's incredibly convenient. They switch out the recipes every week on their website,
so there's loads of options to choose from. It's very flexible, so it's easy to kind of
integrate around our lifestyle. The meals are obviously incredibly tasty. You see me showing
them off in my stories every now and again. We tend to pick around three meals per box
every week. It arrives on a Sunday, gives us enough time to prep for the week ahead.
Let me take you through what we got this week. We tend to go for the fish and veggie options
because Poppy doesn't eat meat. This is what I'm going to be making now. Look at how lovely
that is. Piri Piri Halloumi Crunchy Veg Wraps with Rocket and Chips. This is what we've got
for the rest of the week. So we've got mushroom and goat's cheese burger with balsamic caramelised
onions, pea shoots and wedges. Literally looks like something I'll get in my favourite pub.
We've got baked hake with paprika, potatoes and broccoli. Also got one of the special side
options. So this is honey baked oregano chilli feta with garlicky flatbread fingers. So one
thing I love about these cards, not only that it just shows you all the ingredients you need,
but also on the back you don't need to be that good at cooking guys to come up with something
so tasty. It gives you a step-by-step guide of exactly what the process should look like,
just to make it 100% easier for you. So yeah, let's get cracking. This is what we're having.
All these lovely fresh ingredients laid out. I am a bit of a perfectionist, hence why it
looks like this. First step is to start the chips, so I need to cut the potatoes.
Chips are cooking, looking nice, getting all crispy. Prep the halloumi. What we've got left
to do, number five, need to prep the rocket. Right, halloumi time. Let's get these bad boys
in the pan. Oh that peri-peri smells so good. In you go, in you go, in you go.
Let's just warm up my wraps. Smells great doesn't it? Smoked paprika chips.
Right, I always revert back to the image to see how they've built it, because I'm such a
perfectionist. I mean I love that I've just been doing a face mask whilst you've been cooking
dinner. Oh the coleslaw looks good. Give me a dollop. Okay, that's the next step.
This is where I come in and ruin it. I'm gonna do one okay? Go for it, build your own. I'm sorry,
but look at that. That crispy halloumi. We get three each. Three? I know, I know.
Look at that. Hello Fresh have given me a discount code to share with you guys,
it's Chef Shaun. I'll put it on the screen now. Basically, your first order you get 50%
off your box, and then the next three boxes after that you get 35% off as well,
so it's a pretty good deal if you wanted to give it a go. I'll link everything down below so you
can go check out yourselves. Oh my god, it's great. Have a little bite of that taco, go on.
There you go. Have you? Not yet, no. That is so good. Realistically, you're probably not going
to be able to hear me, it's very windy down here. I didn't really anticipate it, but we've taken Sid
for a little evening stroll down on the beach. So yeah, I just wanted to say thanks for watching
today's video. I hope you enjoyed it, and yeah, links are in the description. So I will see you
soon in the next video. Peace. Bye!
