the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
One of my favourite things paired together, bacon and potatoes. This month’s Onja challenge was the word ‘Texture’. After much thought, I settled on some potato skins filled with cheese and bacon. These are perfect to serve as a starter or part of brunch spread.
I love me some pancakes, I love making them and devouring them. It’s pretty evident considering I have quite a number of pancake recipes on here. I find pancakes pretty versatile to make and you can play with different ingredients from ripe bananas,oats, raisins to chocolate chips. Since I don’t like them plain, this time […]
Zucchinis or courgettes whichever name you choose to use are a type of squash which are quite versatile.

For the longest time I used to say and write cardamon! I bet I’m not the only one who always used to replace the final m with an n. Anyway, we live and we learn. Today’s recipe is courtesy of Kaluhi, in case you don’t know by now,she has an amazing e-book with simple recipes […]
