Baking.
I always feel the urge to bake something when I’m feeling a little down. Today, a very good friend I met in mothers group 2 years ago left Sydney for a new life elsewhere.
I haven’t met many other mother friends since having Mini Jones - for a number of reasons I think, but I’m not very good at putting myself out there. Anyway, whilst I really wanted to curl up in bed and have a good cry, I had a mini jones to occupy, so we made this plant based orange cake. It could have gone very badly as it’s a recipe I’m still testing...but thankfully - for all involved 😅😬 - it turned out ok!! Do you turn to baking when you feel down?

Today is #internationalcoffeeday and today I have *needed* - I mean, enjoyed, a couple of coffees. Nothing like motherhood to up ones coffee game 😂
An estimated 3 million cups of coffee are drunk every single day.
Are you a coffee drinker?

Heirloom carrots and cream cheese on toast.
Mini Jones looks deeply suspicious at the carrots that weren’t orange... but eventually, after seeing me eat them and clearly surviving 😂 he gave them a go. And seemed to really enjoy them!

Wondering what else I could serve to him in a variety of colours...🤔
Any ideas?

It’s the start of Oktoberfest today: a fortnight of complete and utter madness in Munich 😜
We went to Oktoberfest the first year we lived in Munich, and despite not really liking beer, I still managed to drink most of my litre of beer - and was so grateful for the gigantic bretze (pretzel) we had bought with the beers 😝🤪 By sheer coincidence, Mr Jones discovered a bretze place in Manly @brezelbarmanly this morning. They’d just sold out of bretze ☹️ BUT had these bretze croissants!
Oh. My. Word.
I don’t know if I can ever go back to a ‘normal’ croissant ever again! Salty, tangy, savoury... I think I will be visiting Manly quite a bit now! 😉

Prost!

Another Friday, another pizza 🍕
This one is spinach pesto, spinach and goats cheese (basically what was in the fridge). Mini jones had lentil tomato sauce from the freezer and spinach on his.
I cheated and used a bought base. I’ve been cooking one handed this past week as last Friday I was mixing butter and sugar to make biscuits, and the Pyrex bowl I was using just shattered in my hand! (You May have seen in my stories)
My thumb and side of hand got the brunt, and are still pretty sore, so it’s all about ease at the moment!! Happy Friday!
