So I have a confession to make. I wasn’t going to share a hot cross bun recipe with you this year. I made you some Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns (my faves!) last Easter. This year, I was going to make you something a little different (and I’m working on it, so if all goes to plan, you’ll be getting those tomorrow). Anyway, so I wasn’t going to share another … Continue reading →

Healthy Apple, Yogurt and Oat Breakfast Muffins
So I’ve put on a little weight recently. Just a few kilos. It’s actually bothering the heck out of me but I’m trying not to freak out about it. I have no idea how it happened. It couldn’t possibly be due to all the beer, cider, lychee martinis and white sangria (that stuff is amazing) that I have been drinking now that spring is here. Or it couldn’t be because … Continue reading →
Peanut Butter and Banana Healthy Breakfast Muffins
So I cannot sit still. I am incapable. Like, I think I may actually have a problem. I am incapable of simply doing nothing. And I am addicted to technology. I cannot just be. I have to be doing, all the time. And it’s becoming ridiculous. Picture this: Tuesday night. Girl on couch. Watching Suits on TV and drooling over Harvey. Laptop on knees. Blog, Facebook, Foodgawker, Pinterest, email, recipes … Continue reading →
Whole Wheat Banana Breakfast Muffins
Let me give you a little insight into what a typical day in my life looks like. 6am: Alarm goes off. Hit the snooze button at least three times. Why does bed seem so much comfier and warmer when you have to get up super early in the morning? 6:30am: Finally get out of bed. Have a quick shower, get dressed, put on a little make up, grab my bag … Continue reading →
Rice Pudding
A lot of my childhood memories revolve around my grandparent’s house. My parents have always worked full time, so when I was young I would go to my grandma’s after school and on the holidays. My cousins would be there too and they are boys, so we would get up to all sorts of mischief. I fondly remember my grandma chasing my cousin around with a long wooden spoon in … Continue reading →
Healthy Double Chocolate Breakfast Muffins
Sometimes, when I sit down to write a post, I have absolutely no idea what to say. Today was one of those times. I started this post off about how cold the mornings are becoming and how these breakfast muffins save my life because I’m too lazy to make myself breakfast at 6.30am. I’m too busy hitting the snooze button. Then I started writing about how my puppy is currently … Continue reading →
Apple Pie Muffins
So the other day I made muffins that taste like apple pie. YUM. For real. Breakfast is hard when you need to get out of the house before 7am. I can never wake up when my alarm goes off at 6am. I end up hitting snooze about 10 times, and before I know it it’s 6.25. And by then I’m already running so late, and I have 20 minutes to … Continue reading →
Chocolate Chip Pikelets
Lazy Sundays. Oh how I love them. Last Sunday, was an extremely lazy one. A not too late wake up, but the entire morning was spent in bed, with a coffee and the laptop, working on my blog, browsing through Foodgawker, writing some emails and then reading all the Sunday papers, a favourite ritual of mine. It was cold out, and I love being rugged up and inside when it … Continue reading →
Healthy Strawberry Breakfast Crumble
I fell so in love with this strawberry crumble, that I was inspired to make a healthier version. So I could eat it all the time. Because when I baked the original, I was eating it for breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner, and I wanted to make one that I could happily eat for breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner without feeling guilty. So this is what I came up with. … Continue reading →
Blueberry Ricotta Hotcakes
What kind of breakfast person are you? When you go out, what do you order? Are you a sweet person or a savory person? Waffles or scramble? Pancakes or eggs Benedict? French toast or a big breakfast? Bircher muesli or bacon? Porridge or home fries? I can never decide. I always want the sweet breakfast, the twice baked french toast, the chocolate chip pancakes or the Belgian waffles. But I … Continue reading →
