I have decided to do some serious baking around here, for too long has my oven been neglected and forgotten. Too long have I put recipes into my favourites always promising myself I would get around to it eventually. And so, I made a 12 days of christmas baking project of all the recipes that I have been dying to try but have been far too busy to attempt. The only problem is that it won't be twelve days as that amount of baking will seriously do damage around here so I have to restrict it to every second or third day otherwise we are going to have a few santa's in this house. I have a few items I want to try out that include rustic apple tart, baklava, strawberry cream cheese bread, tiramisu and chocolate and salted butter caramel macarons. I still have a few spots that I haven't yet decided what to make but I am sure that if I scour my recipe books I can find a few more. If you have any suggestions, please send them through :) The first on my list was the above red velvet cake, it was gobbled up so quickly I never got a chance to take a proper photo.
On another note, son number three has returned from a week long camp with his school and how I have missed him. It is just me & him tonight so we are having a pizza/movie night and the pizzas smell heavenly. He did however bring back not so very good news, I loaned him my canon ixus camera and it is no longer working, apparently he took it to the beach without the cover, fingers crossed we can somehow fix it.
Oh! and my two older boys received awards on Friday, just for attendance but still very proud of them.
I haven't been too well lately and I am sorry I haven't been around much or commenting much, I have had a terribly awful time with anxiety related issues. It seems to be getting worse every day and I definitely feel I have a hormone imbalance. I will be starting a cream that supposedly helps and fingers crossed it does a bit of good as this anxiety is a bit overwhelming.
Have a lovely weekend dear friends ;)
