The 25th of March is Waffleday! Yes, it is probably one of those made-up American days, but why not join the fun! Goodness knows we need it. It reminded me of this delicious no-mess-no-fuss Breakfast Waffle Jan whipped up for us a while ago. A yummy weekend treat! This was …

I returned from the holidays with a bit of a sybaritic hangover. It feels as if, finally, the serious and grand feasting has caught up to me! I guess it does have a bit to do with the inevitable “new year, new me” bandwagon, but it is as if my …
