Party Food

I love parties and party food, there are so many options and ideas, here are some ideas I love...

Little pesto and feta bites

One of my favourite starters, you can't go wrong with baked camembert

 Mini salad cups, love this idea! and it's a perfect little size

OMG, this is the most beautiful platter I've ever seen! I will am to do this one day, on this scale :)

For Monday evening...

I am going on holiday on Wednesday and am so ready to go I can't think about anything else. I've checked the entertainment so as long as my screen works  on the plane I will be watching all the movies I missed in the cinema in the last 6 months: Still Alice, Interstellar, Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything (I know I'm really behind :()

Here are some funny pictures that have cheered my up today.

Lola

This is one of the old photos of Lola, she looks like this when she wakes up :)
 

I haven't taken any photos of her for so long so I finally remembered yesterday, here are some summery ones I took in the garden...

Naked cake...

We have decided that since we are not having a "proper" wedding and are just having celebratory dinner for friends and family we would make our own cake. We love the idea of "naked cakes" and have been inspired with lots of pinterest images here is what we've practiced so far.

This is what we were going for...

 This is what we made...

 



 
Of course we will have three tier cake but there is only so much we can eat...

Saturday in London

I was in London yesterday for my friend's bday and I finally saw Miss Saigon musical which was amazing.Great effects, music and sad love story. Afterwards we were walking through Soho (so many amazing places to eat) and ended up in Wahaca. Love the food, beer and sweet churos they serve and of course the best thing is that skulls are everywhere :)

Hope you have a great weekend.

wedding: 5 months, 3 days to go...

I am very relaxed about my wedding, to the point that I worry that I should be more stressed about it. I still don't have a dress, I'm planning to be barefoot and just have a flower in my hair that I will find on the island (very simple or crazy??). 

Here are some great, wedding presents and ideas I like :)

Travel

If I could travel for living I would, I actually think I should be paid for all the traveling I do! I love it! Probably my favourite thing in the world. I definitely have a travel bug and have been told that I am not allowed (by my fiance) to book more than 3 holidays at any one time which is a fair enough as I do get a bit crazy with bookings sometimes :)

The best thing about traveling is learning how special cultures, languages and traditions are and how important it is to keep and celebrate them. 

I am going to the USA in two weeks and am tempted to start packing....

New kitchen is coming....

Our kitchen is falling apart (literally) so I've spent hours in the last week looking at and pricing kitchens on the following websites:

  • B&Q
  • Ikea (where you can plan your kitchen online)
  • Homebase
We are not looking for a very expensive kitchen as ours it's tiny and I am in love with plain white cupboards, oak worktops, white sink kitchens. The new kitchen will have open shelves as well for my numerous glass jars and will hopefully look like this...

I have recently visited Marrakesh for my "hen do", I prefer to call it girls weekend as there were no games and other funny, embarrassing moments. I've been in Marrakesh in 2011 and loved it so it was a perfect place to go back to, this time with 16 of my favourite girls :) Here is the little photo summary...

We ate:
Nomad
Riad Omar 

We visited:
Bahia Palace
Majorelle Garden

We learned to cook:
Amal Training Center

We stayed at:
Riad Alamir

Weekend Food Prep?

Lets be honest I am organised but I will never be this organised! I love the idea of making food in advance and preparing it on Sunday for the week but even with good intentions this is far too organised for me! To find out how to actually do it read this inspiring post.

Check out "Back to her roots" for amazing ideas on food prep, recipes and a lot more (very inspiring).
