French toast with blueberries & maple syrup

On those mornings when you’ve slept in, there’s no rush to be anywhere, and your loved ones are curled up in bed with you – there’s nothing better than getting your cook on – to allow the laziness of the morning to permeate even further into the day! And seriously, it doesn’t get any easier…

Jamie Oliver’s Blueberry Pancakes

I know I blogged about these pancakes early last year but with blueberries in season, I just can’t seem to get enough of these.. and seriously nothing makes me feel more wife-ly than getting a home-cooked breakfast served up to my beloved husband (even if the frequency of these ‘home-cooked breakfasts’ isn’t anything a girl…

Dorie Greenspan’s Pecan Honey Sticky Buns

Say the two words: “cinnamon buns”; and my heart’s background lub dub picks up its pace a little.  Cinnamon buns, done well, make me not only excited, but extremely happy.  The best cinnamon buns I’ve ever had are at Mattick’s Farm in Victoria B.C.

They were surprisingly very easy to make and really satisfied my Sunday brunch cravings 🙂 Here’s the recipe so that you can make them yourself in the comfort…

Caramelised Banana Waffles

This weekend, Eric was busy doing night shifts. This meant, that I not only had an awful lot of time on my hands (I caught up on my sleep, read crime novels, watched US sitcoms and went for a massage at Zhong’s), I also ended up doing a fair bit of cooking in the kitchen….
