Recent Things: Puzzling and Possession

Hellloooo there! Happy Friday!

It has been such a struggle to actually want to get out of bed this week (our bed is so cosy!) so I am so glad the weekend is almost here.

But before I can get to the weekend, i've got to catch you up on what's been happening lately!

Here's what we've been up to >>

We love Disneyland. It's no secret. We'd spend every day of the rest of our lives there if we could - but alas, there's work to be done, a pandemic that's stopped global travel and Disneyland is closed.... so we're left trying to recreate Disneyland memories at home.

But whilst we love Disneyland for the rides and atmosphere, I know so many people love it for the food (and we do too!).

Walking down Main Street or through the park, every second person you see has a treat in hand and a grin on their face - and on our last trip, I noticed one treat in particular more often than I had before.... the Matterhorn Macaroon.

Shaped like the Matterhorn, this coconut cookie is a cross between a macaroon and buttery shortbread cookie and topped with white chocolate. 

It looked delicious, leaving this coeliac to franctically google: 

Are Disneyland Matterhorn Macaroons gluten free?!

The answer? No.... but that just meant that I had to go home and recreate them for myself.

So let me share them with you >>

Life has been busy lately.

We're back to hectic work schedules, our free time is full of appointments with kitchen and tradespeople to work out our first stage of renos, our weekends are full of gardening and projects and we're trying to squeeze in time for family and friends too.

For me, busy times call for smart meal choices - so I've been making lots of quick and easy meals that can be made in big batches and frozen for an even quicker lunch or dinner later on.

This has been one of those meals that I can't get enough of. It's quick, easy and packed full of flavour.

So let me tell you more about it >>
