Pretty pancakes and a pep talk

Hi friends!

This week has felt like the longest of my entire life. The completion of my final exam and therefore freshman year, saying far too many goodbyes and coming to terms with the fact I don’t have to do anything for 4 whole months! In amongst all that I had a character defining moment. You know, a situation you are forced into that defines who you are by the way you respond to it. I hope you like this post, it’s pretty close to my heart (and that’s not just because it’s about pancakes, promise.)

Sweet potato, spinach and feta muffins

Hi friends!

Exam season is upon us once more. I bet if you listen closely, you can hear the steam blowing out of students ears as they slump and scribble furiously over their books. Meanwhile, I am sitting here serenely sipping on a cup of tea. My fingernails are all intact, and I am not jittering down into a caffeine coma…wanna know my secret? Of course you do…

Guest post- Kitchen of Amelia

Hello friends!

I have an extra special surprise for you today! I’m really excited to introduce you to another excellent food blogger- my lovely friend Amelia. She is also from New Zealand and is currently studying law. Amelia is the queen of gorgeous Instagram photos. She has kindly shared an awesome chocolate zucchini oatmeal recipe with us.

Monday must-reads!

Hey friends!

I finally beat the flu. It was quite a struggle, but in the end it was no match for my super vege-powered body. There is so much happening at the moment. Uni work is piling up, but I’m also really excited about the Rugby World cup (because you’re not a true kiwi if you aren’t caught up in the hype.) So if you aren’t currently yelling at the ref or singing patriotically to your national anthem, I’ve got some awesome reads for you.

Double chocolate zucchini muffins

Hiya friends!

So I’ve been a little under the weather this week. I caught an unfortunate bout of man-flu off my dad…it’s so much worse than regular flu (because we all know what men are like when they get sick.) I’m bundled up feeling sorry for myself, and not studying because my head hurts. So how about you have a sympathy muffin with me?

Product review- Ceres organics almond butter

Hi friends!

I should probably start by apologizing for my strange post earlier this week. If you hadn’t noticed yet (you are very unobservant) I am a bit technologically challenged. Anyway I signed up for Bloglovin to share my blog with more people and to find other excellent bloggers. If you have a minute I highly recommend checking it out!

Today I’m sharing another incredible product with you.This one is particularly dear to my heart. It’s 2015…I believe the new saying should be ‘almond butter is a girl’s best friend.’ Can I get an amen? In case it’s not clear, I am a massive nut butter fan…some would say I am an addict (I’m not. I can stop anytime I want.)

Magical overnight oats

Hello friends!

I am in a particularly joyful mood as this has been the best week of the whole year. We have had ‘Secret Admirers’ week…which is basically an excuse to go nuts and stalk people (or show your undying affection.) If you know anything about me… it should be my absolute delight in giving gifts (apart from the food obsession of course.)

Monday must-reads!

Hi friends!

Can you believe that it’s August already? I honestly feel like yesterday I was just taking down the Christmas tree…and yet here we are on the downhill to summer. I had the most wonderful weekend, all my friends from high school were reunited again. Unfortunately, much like the Spice Girls we had to go our separate ways, and I had to get back to my procrastinating. Today I’m sharing a round-up of my favourite links from around the web this week.

Product review: Raglan coconut yoghurt

Hi friends!

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to a fantastic new product. If you have never tried coconut yoghurt before…you are in for a treat. It is light and tangy, but not as sour as greek yoghurt. Even its satiny meringue-like sheen will be enough to convert you.

Creamy pear smoothie

Hello friends!

I am currently the laziest human being on earth. I have just spent the past two weeks lounging on the couch reading and pottering around the kitchen. I’m finally free of the shackles of study and I intend to enjoy every last lazy second of it. So hopefully you will be seeing more of me again. As my welcome back present to you, I’m sharing my new favourite creamy pear smoothie recipe.
