Ah, home sweet home. I have returned to The Shire from The City. I survived the last few weeks of uni and am ready for a 5 second breather before I get crackin' with my literature review (I am yet to determine what I actually have to do for this). The great thing about being home, aside from seeing family and friends, is the amount of baking I can do. This is purely because Mother and Father foot the bill for the ingredients :D THANKS! So yesterday, I was sitting in the kitchen sorting out the recipes for the things I want to make over Christmas and my Dad presented me with a recipe card for Cranberry and Pecan Oat Cookies and said "So are you going to make these" . Funny thing is, I had picked up the same card from Waitrose but had forgotten all about it. Waitrose recipe cards and their Kitchen magazine are awesome. I love Waitrose. But let's not get into that, we could be here for a while.

...sorry for the lack of new posts, uni has been hectic. One deadline down, one more to go, and only 8 days until my Christmas holidays. My last ever, one month long Christmas holiday :( You are gonna be in for a treat over Christmas, I have sooo many things I want to make! I made a list and everything! I have been looking at/ working on recipes for; Christmas dinner with my pals, Christmas dinner with my family, the best banana bread, Christmas spiced cinnamon rolls, and a few surprises I can't tell you about just yet! In the meantime enjoy these teacakes I made over the summer. Just look at that them, fresh from the oven, butter melting...mmmmm......
