So I've been missing in action from the blog scene recently! I've had a lot going on, and there's been a number of unexpected family things which have been a little overwhelming, to say the least!
All that aside, we've settled well into our new home. There are a few cosmetic things to take care of, and minor renovations that we want to happen, but that will all come in good time! All of the important stuff is pretty well sorted however, and we are loving life!
One of the best things about being in our new home is the massive kitchen all to myself, and a fully functioning oven with which to work with! I've been spending many a weekend baking up a frenzy.
A few weeks ago, my trusty red mixer and I decided to action some yummy choc chip cookies!
The recipe was so simple, and with my fan-forced machine of an oven they took no time at all, and the result was just divine! I used this recipe from Exclusively Food, which produces beautifully chewy cookies with satisfyingly crunchy edges!
This will definitely be a regular in my kitchen! J
Hope everything is ok xx
ReplyDeleteYay for baking! Love the last pic, very cute!
Thank you! Maybe I missed my calling as food stylist? Haha!
DeleteThose biscuits look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE your cookbook holder - so cute!
Hope everything's okay as far as the family things go. Glad to hear you're all settled in though.
xx
Thanks! I love it too - great deal on Catch.
DeleteOnly wish I had bought the matching napkin holder to go with it!
Hope all is okay!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on moving in and settling down..look fwd to seeing more home posts!!
Thank you! I will have to do a post on the home soon :)
DeleteYUMMMMMM. I love the way you displayed the cookies with the ribbon!! It was magazine quality! I love seeing renovations! YAY. Hope all is good.
ReplyDelete(secretly, thank god for some one who does NOT have a kitchen aid! LOL.) Sick of seeing them. . . . no offence anyone with one.
Haha! Thanks :) I sent the photo to my mum, and she told me I was crazy for putting ribbon on cookies. I was channeling Donna Hay clearly, mum! ;)
DeleteYep, we used to have a KitchenAid at home, but I love my red mixer. And I have a lot more cash left in my pocket too!
I thought you had been a bit quiet, hope everything/everyone is OK. Good to see you happy in your new, big kitchen! The cookies look delicious and like everyone else, I love the way you styled them :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's amazing the difference a little ribbon can make :)
DeleteMmmm cookies.
ReplyDeleteAhh renovations. They never quite end. I've discovered Pinterest and now I have a whole heap of new ideas for the house.
Hope everything goes well.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look amazing in the last pic. Makes me want to whip up a batch too now.
I'm so jealous of your huge kitchen. Baking is so much more fun when you can totally spread out :)
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute recipe stand. I need one for my ipad too.
The cookies look yummy. Love how you've 'packaged' them with the ribbon.
