For the love of food
I’m a little rounder, a little browner, a little more relaxed and a little inspired. In short, I’m ba-ack! I had a wonderful week and a half of holidaying so thought I’d give a little wrap up. On Christmas morning we kicked off the day with a festive feast hosted by my sister and her [...]
Merry Christmas and season’s eatings to everyone! Here’s to a happy holiday and healthy and fabulous 2013! See you in January! x Claire
I meant to write this post yesterday fresh from our Saturday night Christmas party. I was too tired. Plus our dishwasher broke in the wee hours of Sunday morning (it trips if you over-load it which I did) so I had to wash everything by hand and empty out the water with a tupperware container. [...]
Every year our group of friends gets together on the last Saturday before Christmas for a Christmas feast celebration. We rotate it between all of our houses every year and this year it’s back to us. We’re very excited but it’s pretty hectic around here today as we put the finishing touches on the decorations [...]
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it before but I think I inherited my sweet tooth from my grandma. Oh how we love our sweet treats. People often ask me what I do with all the food that I bake. The truth is, a lot of it goes to my grandma and she loves it. You [...]
I wouldn’t even attempt to guess how many baked recipes I’ve tried in the last two years of blogging but it would most probably be a couple of hundred. Sponge cake on the other hand, is a recipe that hasn’t featured much. I think the only one actually to be created in my kitchen was [...]
So yes I am well aware that you can buy Christmas crackers. They’re not that expensive and they come in a huge range of sizes, colours and extravagance and there’s really reason to make your own. That doesn’t stop me though. To me, homemade Christmas crackers are the way to go. It must be my [...]
When my sister and I were little, it was about this time of year that we started getting impatient. School had finished for the year, we weren’t going to the beach for another week, all the Christmas preparations were done (well as done as they can be for a kid) and we were ready for [...]
One Christmas when I was little my cousin let me in on a little secret. He is 6 years older than me so much wiser and we were chatting about Santa. He said to me ‘if you ever hear Santa on Christmas Eve, keep your eyes shut and don’t try to catch a peek of [...]
Our tree is finally starting to look like Christmas as more gifts are added as they trickle in from my online orders or are whipped up in the kitchen. One of the delicious gifts under our Christmas tree is my homemade macadmia dukkah. It’s another very easy recipe to prepare and makes a delicious present [...]
I love a good arts and crafts day. I don’t know why because I’m not that overly gifted when it comes to art. My sister can draw absolutely anything and there’s no uming or ahing when trying to figure out what it is. You know what it is. I on the other hand, can draw [...]
