As much as I love cooking, I have to admit that the last thing I want to do after work is attempt a new, long or complicated recipe. Instead I want something quick and easy but also delicious. Admittedly sometimes I’ll just have beans on toast or a baked potato but most of the time I… Read more »

In the Kitchen: Chicken and Kale Stir Fry
Recently Lau and I have been trying to add more vegetables to our meals as they are definitely something that isn’t an integral part of our diet.

In the Kitchen: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cake
It feels like forever ago since I shared a yummy recipe on the blog, so it seems fitting to share not only one of my favourite cakes, but one that I’d also completely forgotten about until recently.

In the Kitchen: Breakfast Scramble
Today I wanted to share a recipe for breakfast scramble which is a recreation of something from my childhood. Before we get to that let me tell you about our weekends.
