“I got a blueberry for a daughter!”

Methinks that perhaps Mr. Beauregard wouldn’t be quite so upset about his daughter Violet turning into a blueberry if she became part of these most delicious blueberry buttermilk pancakes. Am I suggesting cannibalism? Never! Not that it’d really be cannibalism as technically she did become fruit-i-fied! No oompa loompas here, but I did work some [...]

Sugar High Friday #23 – Surprise Inside!

So, this is my first time entering a foodie event (not including Festa Al Fresco, which was run by the lovely Lis and Ivonne so there was no question of not participating!).

You see, after seeing the ‘blood orange’ featuring in the world of blogging, I was intruiged and wanted to find out more as I’d never actually seen one before! Egads, you may say, [...]

Chicken chilli stirfry
