Chocolate Orange Hot Cross Buns
I’ve only recently started to love hot cross buns. I’m not super crazy about fruit in bread but I do enjoy the mandarin earl gray buns they sell at Waitrose. Strange to making hot cross buns when it’s snowing outside! The heat in our apartment doesn’t really work that great either so I spent a lot of the past weekend with the duvet wrapped around me.
Different Types of Sugar Explained
I don’t usually dedicate entire posts to events that I was invited to attend but this particular one that I went to was fascinating. It was all about sugar! All the different types of sugar to use for baking and cooking were on display as well as a few “new” sugars Tate & Lyle have developed. Forget wine tastings I want more sugar tastings!
Sweet Breakfast Burrito
I had a hard time deciding if this post should be called a Sweet Omelet or a Sweet Breakfast Burrito! In the end I went with breakfast burrito because instead of a savory tortilla the outside is a sweet crepe and the inside is stuffed with scrambled eggs and tart berries. On the other hand I could have gone with omelet since the single serving crepe recipe contains mostly egg. Either way I love the sweet and savory combination going on here.
{Book Review} Table for Seven

Banana Brulee Cinnamon Streusel Oatmeal
I’ve only started eating oatmeal in the last five years after Alex asked me to ditch the Lucky Charms and occasionally have something more healthy before work. If made with no imagination oatmeal, while extremely healthy, has all the flavor of glue.
Raspberry Cornflake Breakfast Smoothie
I’ve always been a breakfast person. 9 out of 10 days a week I make time to have breakfast at home before I leave for work. I do have the occasional day when I just can’t get out of bed. Usually those cold dark winter mornings.
Vietnamese Iced Coffee Pops
I love coffee, I’m pretty addicted to caffeine, but hey, we all have our vices. I’m pretty strict and limit myself to one or two cups of coffee in the morning and then I switch to tea for the rest of the day. I could easily drink a lot more!
