Little Fella’

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Of course the baby must enter the world with his own blog. What kind of mother do you think I am?

Check it out here, almost daily updates, always with photos. http://born28december.wordpress.com/

Thursday Bake

I love Nutella. I like cookies. So the chances of me liking Nutella swirls should be good.

Great Granola

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

I tried Jamie Oliver’s home made muesli the other day. I’ve never tried making it myself but it was both rather quick and above all very easy.

Here’s my version of his version ( I make a double batch, or else it’ll be eaten in just 3 days…)

Begin with

- 400 g oatmeal

- 150 g of almond (becomes fantastic when roasted)

- 100 g seeds (50 pumpkin/50 sunflower)

- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

- 3-4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

- drizzles of canola oil

Combine the above dry ingredients and spread in two oven trays. Drizzle honey/syrup and oil, mix well and put trays in the middle of the oven 175C. Let sit for 25 min and stir the mixture every 5 minutes. Don’t leave the kitchen, the mix will burn easily. Meanwhile chop dried fruit.

Afterwards add:

200 g chopped dried fruits of your choice. I like cranberries, dates and apricots.

Other suggestions: raisins, figs.

Serve

Add the fruit to the mix then it’s out of the oven and let everything cool. Store in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks. Serve with ice cold milk/yoghurt/sour milk.

Domestic

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

I’ve done practically nothing but spending time in the kitchen for the past 8 days I’m overdue. We probably have the most well filled freezer in the neighbourhood. Yesterday and today’s achievements were biscotti and roasted muesli (not to mention a morrocan lamb & beef stew).
