Vegan Hot Cross Buns | Recipe

[Ad- gifted product] Hot Cross Buns are an Easter classic in the United Kingdom – It’s something that I feel I never had even heard of before coming to the UK. It’s a slightly sweet bread, with a cross on the top that is actually not made of anything sweet and instead is normally a mix of water and flour. The outside is sticky and coated with apricot jam, the inside is warm, slightly spiced and a bit sweet. I find them to be quite comforting as a tradition. This year, we teamed up with OGGS Aquafaba to create vegan hot cross buns – you can find loads of recipes for Easter treats and other vegan goodies on their website.

Vegan Victoria Sponge Cake | Recipe

[Ad- gifted product] Victoria sponge cakes are classic – and for a reason. They are light, fresh tasting cakes that pack quite a it of flavour. They are surprisingly simple to make, and you can add any fruit or jam to them that you’d like, putting your own spin on the cake. We took a look at Love OGGs vegan Victoria sponge cake, made with OGGs Aquafaba. Aquafaba is an egg alternative, which can be easy used for baking, whipped up into a foamy, creamy, egg-white-like consistency. Love OGGs have a bunch of different recipes, for all sorts of delicious treats, if you are ever looking for a great collection of vegan recipes.

OGGS Brownie and Millionaire Bites | Review

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to trying new snacks, we are always going to jump at the chance! We love snacks, both savoury and sweet.

Both of these bites are low in calories, both are perfectly sized out and they are vegan with a low carbon footprint – all great features in a tasty snack.

A Day out at Standen House | A Beale Family Christmas

Jupiter recently got a National Trust membership as this year (and into next) seems to be one where primarily only outdoor events are what we are going to be getting along too. This membership covers a lot of parks, historical houses, and areas within Britain that we are going to aim to explore. So, when checking out the Christmas section of the National Trust website, we stumbled upon Standen House, where the Beale Family once lived – and though we didn’t really know who that was, we were excited to take a look around. Standen House ended up being one of our favorite National Trust sites in Essex.
