My first blog

Thank you for coming to Save the World girls! You’re going to help us save the world and make the world a better place.

Let’s help more animals and plants. We will not eat too many animals, you could one day a week without eating animals. Is that going to be tricky? Write in the comments.

We are going to make a book about eating more vegetables called ‘Vegetable friends’, it will have mashed potatoes, curry, soups, vegetable dumplings and loads of other stuff.

Don’t forget to turn off the lights when you are not using them!! 🙂

We are going to ask one last question: do you like to eat vegetables?

Love Cleo 🙂

    What a great idea for a book Cleo!
    I try to eat lots of vegetables. How can we make sure we eat enough?
    I like eating spinach more than anything. Just like Popeye because he’s a pirate 🏴‍☠️
    Lots of love

    Here’s a great way to eat courgettes without even noticing them!
    Brownies!
    Ingredients
    200g unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus extra for the tin
    120g plain flour
    50g cocoa powder
    200g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
    4 eggs
    300g caster sugar
    1 courgette (about 300g), grated
    100g milk chocolate chips

    Method
    STEP 1
    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 30 x 20cm cake tin or deep baking tray and line with baking parchment. Sift the flour and cocoa into a bowl and set aside.

    STEP 2
    Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Or, do this in short bursts in the microwave. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.

    STEP 3
    Beat the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl using an electric whisk until thick and doubled in volume. (When you lift the beaters, the mixture should leave a trail that lasts 2-3 seconds.) Fold in the melted chocolate mixture followed by the flour mixture, then the grated courgette and milk chocolate chips. Do this gently to retain as much air in the batter as possible.

    STEP 4
    Tip the batter into the prepared tin, gently level the surface with a spatula or palette knife, and bake for 20-30 mins, or until just set – the top should have a shiny crust, but the centre should have a slight wobble. Leave to cool completely in the tin, about 1 hr. Remove to a board and cut into 16 pieces. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

      Hi Chloe

      I have just read that eating raw Red onions is really good for you – especially the outer layers . So I am off to make a crunchy salad ! It is thanks to you Chloe that I now take so much more notice of what is healthy . LDN
