Chunky Monkey Muffins and some little things that Chunky Monkey Muffins and some little things that are good in life, even in a time of isolation, up on the blog now. Going back into isolation had me feeling lost for a little while, pondering the meaning of my life and what I should really be doing with it, but I figured out a few things that make me feel better, including yoga with @hovyoga (love you Duncan!), watching @okgo music videos and signing up to @glblctzn to try and do some good, whilst never leaving my lounge room. Click the link in my bio for the recipe and the ramblings, maybe there will be some little things in there to help you feel better too ❤️ . . . . • • • • • #muffins #baking #cooking #coffee #bake #tasty #muffiny #healthy #glutenfreebaking #foodie #delicious #breakfast #sweets #foodphotography #healthyfood #chunkymonkey #themeaningoflife #sweetpeadarlingheart #livefullyalive #holdthemoments #livethelittlethings #intentionalliving #theslowdowncollective #asecondofwhimsy #wondermore #theartofslowliving #livemoremagic #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #flashesofdelight

With all these days at home (which, I think, I act With all these days at home (which, I think, I actually love, mostly) it's still important to feel like the weekend is the weekend, you know what I mean? We have been having a special breakfast every Saturday morning, to start the weekend differently and make it feel a little bit different. Mostly it's buckwheat crepes, they're our family's tradition, but french toast is right up there too! We have been making this quick berry compote on repeat, repeat, repeat! and making a little bit extra so we have some to put on yoghurt for breakfast during the week, or even on Weetbix – my son's discovery, apparently it's great 😆 anyhow, I encourage you to make your weekends feel like weekends! And making a fun breakfast or brunch is an easy way to kick it off! The recipe for this Sourdough French Toast with quick and easy berry compote is up on the blog right now, click the link in my profile and make yourself a happy weekend xxx

Looking for little joys wherever I can, and findin Looking for little joys wherever I can, and finding them when lifting the lid on a good oven spring! Watching the IGTV of @jenniferlatham from @tartinebakery has helped me tremendously in feeling more confident in shaping the dough, and pushing the fermentation a little further, which has finally given me reliable oven spring and good looking sourdough (and accompanying dances of joy) 💃🍞🙌 • • • • • #slowliving #sourdough #aquietstyle #realbread #sourdoughbread #theartofslowliving #artisanbread #simpleliving #levain #naturallyleavened #seekthesimplicity #wildyeast #slowlife #feelfreefeed #verilymoment #livesimple #thatauthenticfeeling #morningslikethese #vscomom #fermentation #inspiremyinstagram #littlestoriesofmylife #simplepleasures #habitandhome #livethelittlethings #heitermoments #sweetpeadarlingheart #homebakedbread #tartinebread #ovenspring

The sourdough obsession continues... this time a r The sourdough obsession continues... this time a riff on the @tartinebakery country loaf with raisins, currants and cinnamon folded in. It took a little longer to prove (some suggested the cinnamon might slow down fermentation) so I had to bring it in and tuck it by the fireplace to prove last night (who even am I right now?! ) – but, it turned out great (I mean who doesn't love staring into an open fire?!) 🔥 Rustic, just how I like it.
Freshly picked, again! Had a go at making Hoshigak Freshly picked, again! Had a go at making Hoshigaki last week and, well, things got a little mouldy! Gah. So, here we go again. Foolish? Perhaps. But I guess you’ll never know unless you give it a go, so here we go again. Have any of you ever tried making Hoshigaki? Any tips for a beginner like me would be greatly appreciated…
How are you all doing this week? Me, well I still How are you all doing this week? Me, well I still don't really know what day of the week it is, but I guess that's pretty much universal right now!? We are keeping our spirits up doing lots of jumping about courtesy of @followthelita – her routines get us really sweaty and boost my spirits every single time. Not for the faint hearted, but we think she's strong and awesome, and it's great to have a strong female helping keep us fit. Thank heavens for exercise endorphins to give you a boost – it's either that, or cake, or wine! They're all good, but I think they definitely need to take turns, you know what I mean?! Here's the last slice of the healthy cake I made last week which I very much enjoyed on our cake day – it's got *hidden pumpkin* so at least you're still eating your veggies too. What are you doing to help boost your spirits right now? I'd love to hear your ideas! And if it's your cake day, you can click the link in my bio to bake along. Tag me if you make one, I'd love to see it! Good luck *in* there 🏡
Saved you a slice! Did you guess what the hidden v Saved you a slice! Did you guess what the hidden vegetable is? If you guessed there's pumpkin in this baby, you'd be right! Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake with some cherries on top, because I figure we could all do with a few more cherries on top right about now 🍦 🍒
I baked you a cake! Why, well, because it's ummmm, I baked you a cake! Why, well, because it's ummmm, Thursday?! And every Thursday could probably do with a little more cake.🍰 I put a secret vegetable in there (can you guess what it is?) to help keep ya healthy while you're staying at home. So, let's call it a gingerbread cake with cherries on top 🍒 but you can make it a gingerbread cake with whatever you like the most on top! Bake along – it's healthy and tasty enough to have cake for breakfast. Click the link in my profile to bake along ❤

Well, this is certainly the weather for staying in Well, this is certainly the weather for staying in 🌧 I love the rain, and I love it even more snuggled up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a slice of fruit toast. I made a sourdough fruit loaf and wrote up the recipe for you - it’s up now on the blog, just a quick click of the link in my profile ☕⁣ ⁣ Sourdough takes a little time, but this baby is worth it 🍞 I divided up the instructions so it’s easier to know what to do when. Give it a go, I believe in you. ⁣ ⁣ We watched a great movie last night which would be a pretty perfect accompaniment - Woman At War @womanatwarfilm check it out - it’s on @sbs_australia on demand right now and I highly recommend. An interesting exploration of activism, and the push and pull of being a woman and mother trying to take care of the world and your family at the same time. ⁣ ⁣ It might make you cry, and it might make you want to do more. It also might make you want to learn archery skills or live in Iceland - all good options if you ask me. 🏹⁣ ⁣ #livefullyalive #holdthemoments #livethelittlethings #intentionalliving #theslowdowncollective #asecondofwhimsy #wondermore #thebakefeed #sweetpeadarlingheart #sourdoughbread #fruittoast #womanatwar #activism # #fellowmag #onmytable #fromwhereistand #gatheringslikethese #dogoodfeelgood #sourdoughrecipe #cosyfood #thefeedfeed #littlestoriesofmylife #sourdough #stilllifephotography #gloobyfood #littlebitsof_life

Hello lovely friends, it's been a while. This summ Hello lovely friends, it's been a while. This summer has been a doozy, with so many challenges being faced around the world; it's been overwhelming. I've been thinking about what we can do to make a difference, now (I much prefer action to talk 🤬 ) – and after a lot of thinking I've realised the place I need to start is by *feeling* that I can make a difference! And doing things, instead of just thinking about them. Getting going with simple actions has made me feel so much better, happier! Because if we all care, and we all do something about it, then good change is going to come. I wrote a blog post about starting! Because that is surely the first step 😂 click on through to the blog, if you're interested in starting too; starting to make a difference, in your own life! ❤
I love feeling cosy, especially when the day hasn' I love feeling cosy, especially when the day hasn't been your friend. Maybe you got rained on 🙋‍♀️ or something didn't go so great, or maybe it's just Wednesday! It happens. I like to have a *giant* cup of tea to help ease my woes, and if there is something warm out of the oven, all the better. I made some Spelt Currant Buns to make us all feel cosy over here, find the recipe on the blog right now and they can make you feel cosy too.
Hello! Happy mid week to you all! I just wrote a b Hello! Happy mid week to you all! I just wrote a blog post on how to create less waste, gain a little community, and eat well - check it out if you love eating and want to do a little better by the world 💚 click the link in bio for some ideas!
It's dark and stormy here today, so I'm hiding out It's dark and stormy here today, so I'm hiding out inside baking currant buns. As soon as everyone is home we are battening down the hatches and going into full on cosy mode. Open fire, a goofy movie and cups of tea all night long.... happy friday everyone, what are you up to?
It's summer somewhere! Just not here 😂 but I do It's summer somewhere! Just not here 😂 but I do have a delicious smelling pineapple on the bench right now, so I might have to make myself a tropical style breakfast - and eat it with my coat on, in front of the heater🧣⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ 📸 @jacinta_moore for @hellolunchlady recipe by moi 🍍⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #healthyfood #breakfastbowls #pineapple #granola #granolabowl #healthyeating #fellowmag #onmytable #fromwhereistand #gatheringslikethese #f52grams #f52 #feedfeed #foodstagram #foodblogfeed #myopenkitchen #thenewhealthy #hautecuisines #thechalkboardeats #huffposttaste #thekitchn #beautifulcuisines #onthetable #gloobyfood @foodiefeatures @thefeedfeed
