That is, until now. Amanda McInerney from Lambs' Ears and Honey and I are proud to announce the[...]

I have to admit I've been a bit slow to get into quinoa. I know it's good for you, in fact I had been using quinoa flakes in baking for some time, but I'd been slow on adopting whole quinoa as a regular food in our diet. However the other day I decided to give it another try. In fact, this salad w[...]

Welcome to this month’s Sweet Adventures Blog Hop!
As far as I'm concerned no high tea is complete without a decadent chocolate dessert. And as soon as I saw the beautiful chocolate honeycomb cake on the cover with Tea with Bea I was in love. In fact, this book, and the cake - a Triple Chocolate[...]
