Solo Highcross Exhibition with Somewhereto_ May 2014

5/21/2014

At the start of May I had my first Solo show in an empty unit in the Highcross Shopping Centre in Leicester. I took over the old Tie Rack shop unit which was in a fantastic position in terms of footfall within the shopping centre.
It was a great experience and enabled me to showcase my work in a location I have been really wanting to exhibit in for a long time. During the exhibition I was also working on some pieces bringing in my stitchwork into my paintings.

In February I along with other creatives was given the opportunity from Somewhereto_ to access a space I have been passionate about for several months.
I spotted the old Rachel Hammond Salon in the Highcross last year it was vacant and I thought it would lend itself so perfectly to an art exhibition. It's blank walls, enormous windows and alcoves were perfect for it, finally in February I got the chance to exhibit.

This is something a little different for my blog, but for anyone who knows me will know that I have such a big sweet tooth. I am always looking for healthy alternatives to satisfy my cravings.
So here is one that I have found and tweaked to my taste for Black Eyed beans Brownie Recipe.

Each batch that I make I cut down to around 28 pieces the nutritional values for each piece are:

68 Calories
1.3g Fibre
2.3g Protein

Black Eyed Beans Brownie Recipe:

1 can Black Eyed Beans (400g)

80g Honey

80g Apple Sauce

60g Coconut Oil

80g Cocoa

45g Dark Chocolate chips

3 eggs

(Optional 1 scoop chocolate flavoured protein powder)

(Optional handful of raisins)

·         Using a hand blender blend the beans in a bowl until smooth.

·         Add the apple sauce, honey and coconut oil into the mix and blend till smooth.

·         Sieve the cocoa powder and add the optional scoop of protein powder using a wooden spoon gently stir in the powder until it is combined. Then use an electric whisk to properly mix the ingredients.

· Once the mixture is smooth add the eggs one at a time and combine thoroughly each time an egg is added.

· Add the chocolate chips and optional raisins and stir through with wooden spoon.

·         Pour mixture into a lined tray that is greased butter or coconut oil will do.

·         Bake in the oven at 170°C for around 30 mins. I usually turn the oven off after 30 minutes and leave the mixture in whilst it cools.

·         Don't cut until fully cool and store in an air tight container in the fridge the brownies can last up till about 2 weeks refrigerated.
