It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — as seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order, although full of holiday cheer. As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans & Other People's Food I used to make five kinds of cookies each Christmas -- but while a combination of working right up to the holidays and stifling summer heat has seen it drop over the … [Read more...]
Let’s Brunch Holiday Gift Guide 2014

And therefore better reading for you! [yep, I'm just as good at justifying new shoes.] You will start to see better [hopefully!] pics mixed in until all the recipes in the wings have been posted - that said I of course want … [Read more...]
