Puuuuudding!

All I have been able to think about for the last 24 hours has been pudding.

Not uni, or exams or trying to get a 'real' job but pudding!

This is serious.

Chocolate delicious

Cherries?!

Trying to be a healthy pudd...

Ye ole' Sticky date

Not my favourite, but still delish

Delicious pie face!

Dumplings yeah!

Pie face

I made pie for my sisters leaving dinner, delicious apple and raspberry pie, pastry made from scratch.

AND it worked out!

Suzie homemaker right here peeps!

Photo project - day 27

Finishing the day with a bang, and by bang I mean eating a milky way bar, drinking tea and watching bad TV!

Photo project - day 26

best part of my otherwise fairly rubbish day.
Yellow curry, yoghurt, rice, pickled lime, naan, pappadom.
Delicious.

Photo project - day 13

In keeping with my earlier new years resolution post and the idea of jamie oliver-ing the shit out of cooking for one, tonight I tackled jerk chicken, grilled corn with beans and rice.
It was flippin delicious and could only have been made better with an ice cold beer and the boy to share it with. It even looks like it came straight out of the 30 minute meals cookbook {let's not mention that it took me just shy of an hour rather than 30 mins though}.

delicious.

I just found this recipe and actually cannot wait to try it out, I'm almost at the point where I want to get in my car a drive to the nearest 7-eleven and pay through the nose for a packet of overpriced tim tams just to give it a go! {did I mention that it's 11:03 PM on a MONDAY night...}, tim tam tarts?! Come on!

Anyway, for the good of the world please go and check it out at Chantelles blog, fat mum slim.

Macarena!

Not really, more like Macaroons, but it was my first attempt and I feel as though it was worthy of a song.

Now this is going to be the shortened version of my epic adventure but only because I'm STARVING and beginning to slur my words here, my typing has hit a land slide and is quickly heading down hill.

Anyway, my family was having a pre Christmas, Christmas dinner and for dessert I decided to try my hand at the ever elusive macaroon. I won. Take that hard to bake sweet things!

Ta daaa!

Strawberry fields

It might not be a field exactly but our strawberry plants are coming along nicely {as is the rest of the garden!} and as proof, here is our first harvest!

I've also been eating the snow peas, lettuce, basil, mint, bok choy and shallots and I'm counting down the days to when the rocket {from seeds} and tomatoes will be ripe for the pickin'!!

Again with the fatty recipes..

So i got bored of trawling the internet for design inspiration {for uni I have to design a house, great to start with but i've hit a GIGANTIC wall} and started just trawling for delicious sounding recipes, the nutella was my inspiration for this act of immenent fattiness I'm going to guess. Anyway, not the point. The point is that I love pancakes and here are two variations of your regular run of the mill pancake that I'm pretty much dying to try out. If it wasn't such a hot sunny day I would probably already be in the kitchen, frypan in hand!

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes from Recipe Girl look like a heart attack just waiting to happen but holy moly don't they look too delicious to pass on!

And then there's this one time when french toast met pancakes at tastykitchen.com...it says it all really. The two best breakfast treats combined, who could want for anything more?!

So here ends my procrastination...maybe...untill I find something else to waffle on about whilst pretending to actually do uni work. Inspiring photos for my design is a start but when the thing is due on Halloween and id worth a good 80% of my mark I'm thinking maybe I should pull my finger out...maybe.

peace out breakfast homies! xx
