In a Brunch Rut


 I am in a rut as to what to make for out weekend brunch's! I seem to have run out of my already very limited creativity. I am not the best cook in the world by far and need some simple, refreshing ideas for a light brunch before lunch (sometimes after...). Once again I am turning to pinterest for some inspiration, and whereas the food looks so yummy, I am not sure I would actually have the time/money to recreate a lot of it!

I think I am going to set myself the challenge to come up with a new, interesting dish every weekend that is quick and easy to make!

Birds and Pleats


I was rooting about in my wardrobe the other day and came across this gorgeous Primark skirt. This is a re-posted post from about a year ago, but these pictures were taken after Alice was born. And the skirt fitted me perfectly. I tried it on yesterday and I can barely get it over my hips, let alone zip it up! I can not believe that I lost all that baby weight within weeks to get back to a size 8, only to put it on again a year later! Ok, so I'm not a size 20 and I am generally fairly happy with my weight, but knowing I was smaller after giving birth than I am now is a bit of a knock! 

And before you ask, no. I am not planning on going on any kind of diet, I like food too much! And I eat fairly healthily anyway, and exercise too! I think this skirt must have shrunk in the wash... right?

Salmon roles and Burgers


So this weekend brunch thing we are trying to do (so that we can actually sit down together and eat a meal once a week!) is actually going pretty well! I am definitely going to start experimenting with some new recipes soon, as I think the weekend is the perfect time to try some new things! Mainly because Dave can watch Alice and I can complete a recipe from start to finish without having to stop every two seconds to see to Alice.

We just had burger and a salmon role this week (mainly because we only had two burgers left and were still hungry). I would like to try to poach an egg again (think I'm going to buy one of those things the egg sits in... sounds simpler!) and I would like to make my own bread!




I am on the hunt for some good food blogs so if you know of any, do let me know!
