Cinnamon Apple Yoghurt Bowl

This cinnamon apple yoghurt bowl is so simple that I’m not sure it even counts as a recipe. Still, it’s something I make all the time because it’s as easy as it is delicious.

Homemade Christmas Stollen

Ahh say hello to the beauty that is homemade Christmas stollen! Stollen has long been one of my favourite festive treats so I was pretty stoked to try making it at home.

Banana Protein Breakfast Bowls

Oh look, another breakfast recipe! These peanut butter + banana protein breakfast bowls are a totally different type of breakfast to my last one (Chorizo Scrambled Eggs) so I reckon it’s allowed. When it comes to breakfast food I don’t discriminate. Sweet, savoury, sweet and savoury – I’ll take them all! I’ve always been a breakfast lover. I swear I can’t function until I’ve got a belly full of Read Post

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus + Poached Egg

I mentioned how excited I am about asparagus season a couple of posts ago whilst raving about this chopped chicken bacon salad. Well, asparagus season’s still here and I’m still excited! Mainly because I feel like I’ve discovered a food combination that was just meant to be in this prosciutto wrapped asparagus. FYI, food is about the only thing I’ll ever talk about being meant Read Post

I’ve been buried deep in notes and calculations for the last couple of weeks so this little space hasn’t had much of a look in. Aaand then the night before my Read Post
