It has been too long since I blogged a smoothie. Thick, satisfying and delicious it feels vaguely sinful having chocolate for breakfast, but this really is very healthy despite tasting like a spiced chocolate oaty biscuit. You need to be slightly organised here and soak the oats and dates overnight for a creamier smoothie. I [...] [...]

Update: As Sarah has gonce back to University and is currently swamped with work she is having a break from running Breakfast Club, she hopes to get to her British round up soon, and has not forgotton about you – so I am going to carry on this theme for November. New deadline is the [...] [...] This months challenge was hosted by Becky from Fraxknits, who challenged us to make a polenta loaf; a yeasted bread using polenta in place of some of the flour. Becky said that the addition of polenta makes the bread fantastic for toasting giving it lots of crunch. [...] Firstly many thanks to everyone that took part in August, and apologies for my tardiness in writing the round up. I am unsure where September has gone, and how dramatically the weather has changed in the last few weeks. Secondly we finally have a winner for the lovely Clearspring hamper from Breakfast Club #1 where [...] [...] Breakfast Club: Because breakfast should be more interesting than tea & toast or coffee & cereal. This month it’s Sarah’s turn to host Breakfast Club. Breakfast Club is a food blogging event hosted by Helen from Fuss Free Flavours and Sarah from fingers and toes. We love breakfast and want everyone to enjoy better and more interesting [...] [...] Breakfast Club: Because breakfast should be more interesting than tea & toast or coffee & cereal. This month it’s my turn to host Breakfast Club. Breakfast Club is a food blogging event hosted by me and Sarah from fingers and toes. We love breakfast and want everyone to enjoy better and more interesting breakfasts. Each month [...] [...] The August challenge, and my first, from Fresh From the Oven was to make a whole wheat walnut bread. Like the Daring Bakers, Fresh From the Oven has a new challenge, hosted by one of its members, every month. For July our host was Sarah from Simply Cooked who chose her recipe from The Neighborhood [...] [...] London is hot hot hot and humid to boot. I am positively enjoying my supermarket trips at the moment as I linger and closely examine every object in the frozen section. And what better for these hot summer mornings than ice cream for breakfast? This is totally healthy, unprocessed, raw and vegan and tastes fantastic. [...] [...] Many thanks to everyone that took part in the inaugural Breakfast Club, theme Asian! Sarah and I have had a great time reading all the fantastic entries and have lots of ideas to make our breakfasts more interesting. One of the things that I love about food blogging events is discovering lots of new blogs [...] [...] I have not seen my friend Sue for seemingly eons, so I texted her yesterday and asked her over for brunch. She is having a work crisis but said she would love to pop by for an hour. As she is a self confessed chocoholic I designed these muffins just for her. These follow my [...] [...] Madhuram of Egg Less Cooking is challenging us to “Bake anything egg less using one or more of the whole grain forms of quinoa (whole quinoa, whole grain quinoa flour, quinoa flakes, quinoa cereal, etc).“ As I have a) not taken part in a foodblogging event for ages and b) bake almost everything without eggs [...] [...] Thanks to the awesome Sheri at Green and Crunchy I have a new favourite breakfast, it is quick to throw together and utterly delicious. [...] I wanted the title of this post to be just Perfect Porridge, but porridge is one of those dishes that elicits a huge variety of opinions as to what is right; porridge afficinados will debate the type of oats, cooking pot, cooking liquid and stirring implement. Every year the Golden Spurtle runs a porridge cookoff [...] [...] We have a tradition of having muffins for breakfast on weekend mornings. Based on my basic muffin recipe these are easy to whip up first thing in the morning. Using a mixture of spelt and wheat flour makes the muffins more cake like (if you do not have spelt flour use all plain flour), the [...] [...] We have a tradition of having muffins for breakfast at weekends which has been neglected for some months and I was missing my muffins; so I resolved to make some this morning. It is now November and a murky, wet, grey morning so a warming, spiced muffin was required and there was a lonely sweet [...] [...] Blogsphere is full of posts about smoothies at the moment, I have also recently starting having a smoothie most mornings for my breakfast which I am really enjoying. My favourite smoothies currently all have prunes in them, which thicken, and add flavour as well as colour. I have wanted to make a prune breakfast muffin [...] [...] More holiday muffins, this time I used muesli as a ingredient to make these perfect for breakfast; use a good quality muesli for these muffins with lots of nuts, seeds and fruits and no added fats or sugars. I used Quantock Muesli that we have bought in Somerset en route to Cornwall. Muesli Muffins (makes [...] [...] (This is not a good photo as the peanut butter is almost the same colour as the muffins, but if you look closely you can see a large dollop of peanut butter oozing from the top of the muffin) Have I mentioned that I love baking muffins and that I have been expermenting with vegan [...] [...] |
