Wednesday, January 28, 2015 Recipe Recommendation // Gluten-Free Chickpea Chocolate Cake

This one is hard to stuff up. Like, you would have to really really try to make it go wrong. I've resorted to this recipe time and time since I discovered it at the beginning of 2014, when I made it for my mum's birthday (she is gluten intolerant). It was a hit, and has been every time. For my dad's birthday later that year, I divided the mixture and made them into muffins (just kept them in the oven for about a third of the time) and they worked a treat!

Once again, I often have all/most of the ingredients in the cupboard. Simple, effective, cheap, tasty, easy... ticks all the boxes. You'll find the recipe here.

PS. Don't worry, I promise you won't be able to taste the chickpeas!

Sunday, August 10, 2014 Weekend Snapshots: Coffee, Movie, Football, Beer, Cake... Coffee

Sigh, weekends.. how I love thee. George forced himself to take the day off on Friday (he has so many deadlines to meet but he has just been really run-down lately.. he needed a decent rest), which of course meant that I needed to take the day off too :P We had a jam-packed weekend - consisting of lots of coffee, a movie, more coffee, baking, football (go Hawks!), beer, more coffee and a Sunday family lunch. 

Sorry about the poor quality of the photos. I'm relying on my trusty Nexus 5 until I'm able to talk myself into parting with my limited savings and buy a better camera. I've been thinking about it for so long... I need to just do it!! Story of my life, ey :)
