Kinect Party & Hangover Win

Last night we had a lil ol' gathering with friends at our house and competed against each other on Dance Central & Kinect Adventures. I baked cupcakes for the occasion and some foccacia bread (but using the cheats method of a bread mix) and put on a few nibbles too - afterall, we were burning lots of calories dancing so it was only fair to keep the sugar levels up!
Here are the chocolate cupcakes I made, pre-frosting.

Then I got lazy and instead of piping the white chocolate buttercream on the cakes, I just spooned it on very haphazardly instead. By that time I just wanted a beer and to kick off the nights fun!

This morning I have felt pretty rubbish though and have been nursing a mild hangover. Craving Heinz Tomato soup Nat went to tesco for me and came to my rescue!
My Knight in Shining Armour! <3

Best Sandwich Ever.


Meat-free bacon, avocado and cream cheese on toasted multi-grain bread, nom nom nom.

Blah blah blah, another food blog?


Hello to anyone who has stumbled upon little old me and my blog! The reason I started this is to show the world (well, anyone who enjoys looking at food porn) the pictures of the food that I've cooked, baked, prepared and most importantly consumed from over the last year which I've been posting in a facebook album. I've had such a brilliant response from my friends and since I read so much about food and recipes myself and have made other various blogs in the past, I thought why the hell not! So I'm continuing in the style of a blog - in my gob. And I can safetly assure you that as a vegetarian, I certainly do not live on "rabbit food"! So for any readers out there - Bon Appetit! :-)

60th Birthday Cupcakes







I made these sparkly, shimmering cupcakes for Nats Mums 60th birthday yesterday and luckily, they went down a storm! :-D I think it was the added fairy dust that did the trick!
