Thick, sweet, creamy and satisfying. Bircher muesli is one of those breakfasts I’m actually excited to clamber out of bed for in the morning. I think what it comes down to is knowing I’m going to be treated to something tasty and nutritious without having to spend...
Sometimes I eat pancakes for lunch. They’re decadent, easy to whip up and leave minimal washing up; need I say more. What I love most is the effort to joy ratio. All these pancakes require is popping the ingredients into a blender, pressing the on button, pouring the...
One of the things I miss dearly since adhering to a low salicylate diet is a cosy brew of english breakfast tea. Aside from being a hug in a mug, it was the ritual of steeping the tea bag, siping from my favourite teacup, then dunking my afternoon bikkie that added to...
