How to Visit the Puffins on Skomer Island

I finally managed to tick off the top spot on Welsh Bucket List over the weekend and went to visit the Puffins on Skomer Island. It was a really early start and involved a lot of driving back and forth between the hotel and the dock along narrow country lanes just to get a ticket – but it was SO WORTH IT.  Seeing the Puffins (which my Dad calls Welsh Parrots) for the first time was pretty magical – they’re such adorable little birds – and watching them flutter back forth from the Irish Sea to their burrows with fish for their Pufflings was such an amazing thing to see…

Mexican Eggs Benny

I’ve always kind of shied away from ol’ Eggs Benedict. I mean, combining egg yolks and hot butter whilst simultaneously poaching another couple of eggs to perfection is not the kind of stress I’m after on a Sunday morning. Who knows what the hell possessed me to give it a go a couple of weekends ago, but after a bit of trial and error I found a really easy way of whipping up the hollandaise sauce – and I even livened it up a bit with some lime juice and chipotle paste.  Tada!  Really easy, stress free and scrumptious Mexican Eggs Benny (…Benito?).

How to Make Smoothie Bowls

So I started making the odd smoothie bowl for breakfast as a way of rekindling my love of fruit and I’ve enjoyed making them so much that I’ve even swapped out my lunchtime egg on toast for one!  They’re easy to make, can be prepped ahead of time and there are so many different flavour combinations that it’ll be a long, long time before you get bored of scoffing them.  Oh, and did I mention that they’re pretty? 😉

5 Eggcellent Egg Recipes

I bloody love a good egg.  We go through boxes and boxes of them in my house; I use them for baking, for brunches and lunches… and even Bungle’s a big fan – he gets a boiled egg with his dinner every night.  So, with that in mind, I’ve scrambled together (…see what I did there?) five of my favourite egg recipes, from pink poached eggs to pavlova. 🙂

Easy Korean Dak-galbi

My stripped back take on Korean Dak-galbi makes for a tasty, spicy and colourful midweek stir fry and – aside from marinating time – goes from wok to table in 20 minutes.  Noice!
