Pancake Day

Don't forget that it's pancake day this Tuesday (12th Feb)! If you're looking for a reliable and tasty pancake recipe, then look no further than the Banana and Blueberry Pancakes I posted about on the blog that I share with my friend: Cooking From Books.

Cooking From Books - Banana and Blueberry Pancakes

Although the pancakes do contain bananas, don't be alarmed if you're not such a fan of them. The bananas just lend a tender and springy texture to the pancake, rather than dominating the taste. You can also serve the pancakes with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkling of sugar, a handful of raspberries and a dollop of creme fraiche if you fancy that instead.

Handy Hint

Another reason why this recipe is handy is that the batter improves if it's made the day before, so you can make the batter tomorrow night (Monday) and come home to quick, fuss- free pancakes on Tuesday - just give the batter a quick stir and you're ready to get flipping! I love it when a plan comes together... snarf snarf!

Happy Pancake Day,

Last Autumn, Thursday nights were spent with a cheeky biscuit (or three), a mug of hot chocolate and Kirstie's Vintage Home. I think that my fella must love me as Kirstie's weakness for a bargain at an antiques fair or her wild eyed looks when she gets near a button box do not ignite the creative spark for him as they do for me, but I love all things crafty and Allsopp related so he kindly obliges! 

If you watched Kirstie's Vintage Home, you might remember seeing Ellie Harrington in Episode 3. I remembered the episode in particular because I was really impressed by the quirky yet sophisticated vintage style achieved in Ellie's kitchen and dining room with the big reveal at the end. One particular feature inspired me and that was the roman blind with the hand stamped duck motif. 

Since the programme aired, Ellie's interior business 'Duck Egg Designs' has developed into a strong brand which has received acclaim and a strong following on social networks like Twitter and Facebook. In a funny twist of fate, Ellie gave me the amazing opportunity to write a guest post for the Duck Egg Designs blog which you can read here...

So big thanks again to Ellie for the opportunity!
