Flapjacks were somewhat of a staple when I was growing up. At the end of the week, when all the biscuits and treats had been eaten, we were always able to whip up a few flapjacks.  They were simple enough for me to make, as long as I was supervised by my big sister 🙂
Now that we are finally emerging from the dark winter, I thought it was time for something light and summery. These muffins are a cinch to make, and a treat to eat. Not only do lemon and blueberries look good together, they also taste great together.
I am always wary when I make a classic dish like chili as there are a lot of chili aficionados out there, who probably have a lot to say about the exact ingredients that go into a true chili con carne.
For this Valentine’s Day, I decided to make a chocolate cake, albeit with a few unusual ingredients. Chocolate with cardamom is one of my favourite combinations. Cardamom brings a wonderful aromatic quality to dark chocolate. For me, it makes chocolate taste lighter, almost citrusy with a hint of spice.
Pancake Tuesday is upon us once again! Last year I made Lacy pancakes, which were a real treat. This year I wanted to try my hand at buckwheat galettes. I remember the first time I tried a buckwheat galette on holidays in France.
February is fast becoming one of those months where I have a lot to celebrate. My blog turned two on the first of February. When I started Stasty two years ago, I had no idea where it would take me.
