Strawberry S'mores Bruschetta

I had this idea a few weeks ago, I kept going to the shop, buying a fresh loaf of bread and then we ended up eating it before I could make this. I made this the day before my parents were leaving to go on holiday, my mum was in the bathroom painting her toenails, my dad was sitting on the toilet (he wasn't actually on the toilet he was just sitting on it) I walked in with a plate of these in my hand and the greatest mess ensued. So this is quite messy, but where's the fun if it's not? It's really simple and quick to make any time of year, perfect for summer or winter, a movie night, sitting outside on a starry night, camping...the list could go on, although you might have to leave out the strawberries in the winter.

Nutella & Strawberry Crepe Cake

In the magnificent holiday that is pancake day is finally here, I'm not sure if any other countries have it but pretty much....we eat pancakes. If you don't have pancake day, just eat them anyway, because it's a great excuse.
As a kid pancake day was almost like christmas, it was the only day of the year we got pancakes; apart from on the occasional trip to France. I remember it so clearly, I must have only been about 8, in a picturesque little cafe upstairs with white lace table cloths a plate of pancakes being brought to me and my eyes growing the size of golfballs. Obviously now I'm older I can make them myself and sometimes when I'm feeling a little ill and craving lemon I'll cook up a batch.

When I was around 14, on Saturdays the town over had a market with one of those stalls that made giant pancakes OH MAN, they fold it up in the giant triangle and slip in a cone and all the nutella melts and it's just...if you've never had one and you come across one just do it, don't even think just do it.

The person who came up with the wondrous invention of pancake cakes needs an award and I will definitely be making different flavours in the future, however I am 100% a purist when it comes to pancakes so tomorrow I will be consuming copious amounts of pancakes with lemon and sugar.

Nutella energy bites

I was obsessed with making energy bites last winter, I'd eat them instead of chocolate. I'd only ever made chocolate flavoured ones once and they were amazing but it was so long ago and I seem to have no recollection of the ingredients or where I got the recipe from...or if it was even a recipe. They'll always be a fond memory, maybe I'll remember one day but for now let's have some nutella balls instead.
