Petit Fours

What’s not to love about petit fours? This delicious, small portion of dessert which is usually adorable is one of my favorites. Nobody does cake petit fours for events better than Shell Co in New York. Michael Stuart NY turned us onto them when they made petit fours with edible sugared pansies on top for […]

At Home

This weekend pickle it! My mum always keeps a jar of her bread & butter pickles in the fridge and I have tried to follow in her footsteps and make sure my pickle jar is always full.  These pickles are kept in the refrigerator so there’s no need to go through the whole canning process.  […]

Here’s how you make an herbal sleep pillow… First Mix : one part dried chamomile one part dried hops one part dried lavender […]

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…

Morning Start

I woke up this morning with an itch for a fresh smoothie.  Fresh navel oranges, blueberries, &  raspberries sounded delightful. Check out Whole Living for more delicious fruit combos.
