Well, I hope the guys from Apple Inc. won’t sue me for calling this overnight oat recipe after them. Actually, thinking of it, why did Jobs (?) call his company apple anyway? Quite far away from anything related to apples. Apparently Jobs was every now and then on a Frutarian …

I just finished watching the trailer of the movie Tropic Thunder (saw the film ages ago). And I have to say it’s a hilarious piece, oh dear. Luckily, this recipe isn’t anything like a war comedy movie. The name fits anyway, because you’re “oating” up a tropical flavour storm in …

We love feta and spinach pancakes. In fact, we love all pancakes. Part of the appeal is that we can make them just how we like – with whatever toppings we’re in the mood for. Sometimes, just sometimes, we decide we don’t want to be naughty and smother our pancakes …

No worries, I didn’t add any alcohol to this overnight oats recipe. It’s for breakfast after all! Nope, I just liked the name and I think this ingredient combo is just bonkers delish 🙂 To be precise it’s a beautiful mix of bananas, cacao powder and peanut butter. All three …

Who doesn’t like cheesecake? Nobody. And who doesn’t agree blueberry cheesecakes are the best of cheesecakes? Nobody. And if you’re reading this, the idea of a healthy blueberry cheesecake recipe for breakfast has probably caught your fancy. That’s how these overnight oats came about – us wanting a healthy breakfast …

Yess!! It’s that time of year. I get to write about Christmas and pancakes – two of my favourite things. Don’t worry if you’re reading this and it’s not Christmas, gingerbread pancakes rock at any time of the year. You’ll just have to ignore reindeer references, jolly Christmas puns and …

It must’ve been the TV show Peaky Blinders that made me come up with this name for our overnight oats. If you asked me if I would recommend the series (on Netflix, currently), then I’d say yes. But it’s a close call. It has it’s weaknesses and you need to …

Yesss…it’s finally here! The banana mug cake! If people asked me to name two things I love in life then bananas and cakes would definitely make it onto that list. Mugs might not, although for the sake of this recipe I’ll also add mugs somewhere near the bottom, as I …

Grapes yes, roses no. I’ll give you that. But I’ll also assume you caught the play of words and didn’t expect any roses in this overnight oats recipe. Plus, any chance we get to reference one of our favourite rock or metal bands, we’ll take it 😉 This is a …

A few weeks ago Howie and I decided that we really fancied a good, hearty winter soup (or Spicy Corn Chowder as it turns out) to keep us going through the dark winter months. Hamburg, (my humble place of abode) has some of the coldest, harshest winters that I’ve ever seen, …

Living abroad is an incredible experience, and I have no intention of changing that anytime soon. Hamburg, my adopted city, is both very similar and very different to my home – Britain. It’s around this time of year when the pull of home starts to get stronger, for me at …

Is your boring coffee the laughing stock of the office? Are your co-workers criticizing your cappuccinos? Mocking your mochas? Well, no more! Pimp up your coffee with oats – or your oats with coffee. This simple, high-fuel breakfast takes only minutes to make and cook – or you can prepare …

Kiwis. Small, flightless birds and symbol of New Zealand. Ever tried putting one in a blender? No? Good. You shouldn’t either, it’s probably illegal. But there’s no excuse for not trying this quick and spicy kiwi breakfast smoothie – it’s absolutely rammed with vitamin C and is high in calcium, …
