With all of us settling in for the long haul, and slowly coming to terms with the fact that this is probably going to be our reality for the next few months (if not the year), everyone's finding different ways to distract themselves. Many of my friends on Instagram have been baking up project bakes … Continue reading Shake Shack style Burgers at Home
I have made this particular lemon loaf many times over, and just realised last week that I haven't shared the recipe on here! I started trying to find THE lemon loaf recipe I think around the time I started this blog in 2011, and have been tweaking this recipe for years until I found the … Continue reading My favourite lemon loaf
There's nothing like a zesty citrus cake with a cup of coffee for tea (or breakfast) to make you feel aliiiive! Hehe saw a tweet from Simon Holland that said "Once you realize that you don't need a special occasion to buy a cake, the second part of your life begins." Yes, I completely 100% … Continue reading Orange Almond Cake
I baked this cake twice last week, the first time as an experiment for a friend's birthday and clearly I considered it a win so I made another cake for my mother-in-law's birthday that coming weekend.

I was meant to do a bit of a brownie experiment this weekend - had planned it out perfectly except for one thing... I forgot to buy eggs. What the hoohay? So I had only 3 eggs on hand and a hankering to bake this evening and quickly pivoted from the brownie experiment plan to … Continue reading Ricotta Apple Cake
I've been seeing a lot of pictures of tomatoes on burrata on Instagram and Pinterest lately, and I'm not sure if it's just having a revival at the moment or the interwebz is reading me again. But after days and days of seeing variations of these flavours every time I check my social media, I … Continue reading Tomatoes, mozzarella and toast!
I had a craving for hot soup today, and since my husband would never accept the idea of just soup as dinner I decided to add noodles to them too. Unfortunately I think... well, I definitely put in too much! So noted for next time, will use less and maybe I'll use vermicelli so they … Continue reading Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
I've been on this 1500 calorie a day thing for a few weeks now, and plan on keeping it up for a long time so I've been trying to find ways to manage my snacking - which really is the biggest problem area for me! Some of the stuff I've done is swapped out all … Continue reading Cranberry and Almond Granola
