Winter comfort food

Holiday Decorations
This year I tried to be budget friendly and make decorations from things around the apartment or vintage items that didn't cost too much. I found old christmas bulbs on etsy and they arrived in the most beautiful old Woolworths boxes I could bare...

Sweet potato gnocchi
This month when my Gourmet magazine arrived, I was in the mood for fall eating and was very inspired by this recipe for Sweet potato gnocchi with chestnuts and sage. Thing is I have never made gnocchi myself and the recipe sounded so good that m...
Peach tart

Parade on the fourth

Dog food can
