If you can’t tell, I’m desperately holding on to the remnants of summer. On one hand I’m excited for the hot chocolate and pot pies, but on the other hand, I’m reluctant to let go of the fruity drinks and endless fields of flowers. Frankly, there isn’t that big of a difference between winter and…

I write things. I eat things. Occasionally will write about eating things. Will also write about going places and doing things.
Actuellement
Hey all! Welcome to the first ‘Actuellement’ post of 2017! The goal of these ‘Actuellement’ posts is for me to open up to you guys, in order for you to get to know me better.

Spicy Marinated Halloumi and Veggie Wraps
I can’t believe that it took me this long to get into halloumi. I’d never really been big on cheese, unless it was on pizza or in pasta. On the other hand, my mum eats either camembert or brie as a post-dessert palette cleanser. It’s also an excuse for her to drink wine and feel fancy….

30 Minute Mexican Potato and Kale Anytime Hash
When I say that ‘Anytime Hash’ I mean that this hash can be eaten anytime, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll want to eat it all the time!

As Easter is this week, I’ve felt inspired by all sorts of sweet breads and chocolatey desserts, it’s like Christmas- but in April! It has been a while since I’ve done any sort of homemade bread so this week, I decided to roll with this idea of praline. And boy, oh boy did it turn…
Chocolate Banana Nut Swirl Muffins
There are more bananas in my house at this moment than I know what to do with. As a result I’ve been baking banana breads and making nana ice cream like it’s my full time job. Fun fact: I cannot stomach bananas. Eating the fruit raw makes me feel sick to my stomach. But give…
