My Blog Goals Jan – April 2018 + Stats

I’ve never written one of these posts before. I think it’s because this is the first time I’ve become really serious about blogging, and it’s also the beginning of the year. Last January I wasn’t too bothered! In this post i’m going to detail my main […]

Why I Took a Break from Blogging

Why I Took a Break from Blogging

The blogging world is fast-paced and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the demands it brings. In the back of my mind there’s always the nagging thought that I must do more for my blog, and that I’m not doing enough. Some of the […]

  • Porridge + honey + soft dried figs. A heavenly sweet breakfast 👌 #breakfastideas
  • We both really enjoyed this wholesome Tuscan Bean Stew from @deliciouslyella new recipe book ☺️ The addition of parsnip gave it some added sweetness, along with the spices 🙌🏼 You need to go and check it out for lots of yummy dishes like this one! #deliciouslyella #dinner
  • Reaaaally wishing I had another one of the S’mores muffins that I picked up from @starbucksuk yesterday. Seriously craving some sort of cake right now but we don’t have any in the house 😭 I’m tempted to make one but I just can’t decide what! #foodcravings
  • Lamb steaks with spinach and beach puree. Another one from @nigelslater Kitchen Diaries III. Yes, I am a bit in love with this book at the moment! I just love that it works its way through the seasons, being a diary of Nigel’s dinners and all that! This recipe was divine. Definitely will make again! It was very simple too: just cook the lamb steaks in butter and oil with couple of crushed garlic cloves, wilt some spinach, warm some chicken stock in a pan, add cannellini beans and blend (I used my Nutri Bullet). Then all you do is tip the purée into the same pan you cooked the lamb in and add some double cream. Warm through and then serve! #lamb #nigelslater
  • PSL can only mean one thing = Autumn has arrived.. well in my mind anyway! I do love a pumpkin spice latte 🎃 as soon as they come back! Autumn doesn’t officially start until 23rd September, so roll on a couple of weeks until cosy jumpers and scarfs 🧣, more psl’s and fallen leaves 🍁 Cannot. Wait. 👻
  • Hazelnut and blackberry shortbread. Recipe from @nigelslater ‘s Kitchen Diaries III. Super crumbly with just a bit of juice from the blackberries etching their way into the biscuit (but not too much!) Just the way I like it! #shortbread #seasonalcooking
  • Not the best picture I’ve ever taken, but I was very hungry and ready to devour this pasta dish by @deliciouslyella 💖 The recipe is on her insta feed if you’d like to also make it! It’s basically a garlicky tomato pasta with mushrooms and spinach, and oh boy, I wished I’d made double the quantity! #deliciouslyella
  • Apple, pecan and maple syrup focaccia! Really impressed with how this has turned out. I always get a little scared with bread but this recipe from @nigelslater Kitchen Diaries III is a winner! The perfect Autumn bake 🍁 #autumnbakes #breadbaking
  • Panissa, a hearty dish from the Piemonte region of Italy. One of my all-time favourite dishes actually! It’s so simple to make (measurements are rough): Boil a med pan of water and add about quarter of a packet of Waitrose’ borlotti beans. Add 2 tbsp of tomato paste - boil for 40 mins or until soft. Once the beans are ready, fry half an onion, quarter of a chopped salami ( until soft). Add 200g carnaroli risotto rice and fry for 1 min. Add the beans (don’t drain!) and some of the bean stock. Keep adding stock until the rice has cooked. Eh voila! #italiancooking
