My Healthy Week

So yet again I attempt a health kick but this time I thought documenting it would be a good way to keep me on track.  To help, I put together a weekly meal planner, this also made the weekly food shop soo much easier.

Disaronno and Cranberry Jelly

Doesn't jelly just remind you of your childhood? - Summer BBQs and parties.

Now the summer is finally trying to make an appearance I thought some old school jelly was in order but as an adult now I thought it would be great to join my favourite alcoholic drink and love of jelly. So here it is ... Disaronno and Cranberry Jelly, this is definitely an adults only treat. You could however remove the alcohol and replace with fruit or lemonade perhaps. There are so many possibilities and combinations for a great jelly.

Paul A. Young's Sea Salted Caramel Class

Surprise!

When Kat's fiancé Dan asked for Christmas present advice and he mentioned a Paul A. Young class I knew he was on to a winner.

Sea Salted Caramel Class

Kat and I have met Paul and watched many of his demonstrations at shows. This was us at the Taste of Christmas last year with our signed aprons at Paul's truffle making workshop.

Double Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

Now who doesn't love a good chocolate chip cookie and even more when they are on the healthy side right?

I had planned to make chocolate chip cookies this week but after reading Amanda Bootes Banana and Oat Cookie post she inspired me to try something a little more healthy. After several batches and recipe tweaks later these were the end result; with only a few ingredients and no special equipment needed this is a very simple all in one recipe.

Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson

My friends and I have been meaning to try the Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson Hotel for a while now. We always like to go for a meal or afternoon tea for birthdays and Kat's was no different - so off to the Sanderson Hotel it was.

They invite you to "tumble down the rabbit hole"
and you absolutely get that Alice and Wonderland feeling.
