This birthday card idea was inspired by a AAA Birthday birthday card challenge whereby the theme for the month was flowers. Combined with my current obsession with blending on my homemade cards and trying to use as much of my crafty stash as possible. As I wanted specific coloured card to go with the dye inks I have to blend with I ended up making diy card stock colours too by utilising my alcohol markers.
A sourdough discard recipe for delicious chocolate raspberry biscuits that are soft, fudge-like and full of complex flavours to tempt the interest of your taste buds. Browned butter combined with brown sugar give a welcomed caramelised sweet balance to the tartness of raspberries and the tang of sourdough starter. Admittedly, these biscuits may not be the most elegant or eye pleasing biscuits I’ve made but they sure make up for their ugliness with deliciousness. Addictive and too easy to just keep eating these sourdough discard biscuits are a must try.

A vegan meatloaf recipe made with chickpeas, loads of vegetables, herbs, spices and a couple of sauces. This is a great tasting vegan meatloaf with no meat which can be made gluten free too.

This chocolate brownie slice is another delectable treat I made for my 5 year old’s birthday party. It is once again food allergy or food intolerance(s) friendly. Gluten free, dairyfree, soy free, vegetarian and deliciously moist! In fact, it can be made paleo too (just check the ingredients of the chocolate chips are paleo too and you can make this recipe paleo). Another awesome feature of this recipe is it is very easy to make especially if you have a stand mixer but you certainly do not need one to successfully make this recipe, just make sure the ingredients are well combined.
