We were in America in 2009 and 2011. It took us all of 5 seconds to realise that biscuits are a big deal over there.
If you don’t know, an American biscuit is basically a savoury scone but it’s laminated (when the dough is folded in on itself to create layers within the dough) so that its fluffy and tall. They’re heaven on a plate and biscuits are often served with gravy in the States. This was something that I found incredibly intriguing. I normally don’t eat gravy as I have a few issues with the store bought stuff but I had tons of my homemade stock leftover so I decided to give it a go from scratch. It was surprisingly easy.

I haven’t posted in a while. I started a new job. I ordered too much off AliExpress for my wedding. I am not winning at life right now.
But breakfast makes things better. So last weekend when Michael was still sleeping, I got up super early and made a caramelised banana Dutch baby. Why? Because I could and I wanted to. And also, I’ve always wanted to make a Dutch baby. Thanks to my parents gifting me a set of cast iron skillets, I can now make Dutch babies whenever I feel like it.
Lots of people don’t know what a Dutch baby is, let me inform you.

Guys, it’s nearly my birthday. In a week I will have turned 27. So much is happening in such a small space of time and I’m really excited about all the future has in store.
At the moment that means spending weekend running around meeting friends and family, making wedding plans and DIY’ing a lot of our wedding elements. I’m very lucky to have a super talented fiancé who designed our invitations and made them very personal to our style and our feel. I have a MOH who is an expert baker. A day of co-ordinator who is amazing and is going to be doing my hair and make up on the day. And my parent are always supportive of our plans.
While the wedding planning is going really well and it’s moving at a fantastic pace, sometimes you need some down time. Enter these chocolate primal protein mix pancakes. We enjoyed these pancakes on Sunday morning before heading off for a full day of activities. They’re much heavier than most pancakes but that’s because of the protein mix. You’ll probably only need a few pancakes to keep you satisfied for much longer.

The beginning of May always brings Cinco de Mayo and for fans of Mexican cuisine, this means only one thing: it’s time to eat.
Cinco de Mayo is often referred to as Mexico’s Independence Day as it commemorates a victory over French troops in 1862. Nowadays it’s widely celebrated with parades and other festivities. Unfortunately these events don’t reach New Zealand in the same way as the rest of the world so we have had to DIY the festive feeling at home.
