Happy New Year to you if it’s
not too late to say it. I can feel a tad
ambivalent about New Year. Having
already broken one of my New Year’s resolutions I feel I am not off to the best
start but perhaps things can only get better.
I do acknowledge that for some reason the change in year on the calendar
does give me a little kick to change things I have been procrastinating about
even if I don’t always follow through with said changes. I’m thinking about them. Surely that’s a good start?
Way back in the dim and distant past or a couple of weeks before Christmas I made this carrot cake found on Lottie + Doof. I only had time to snap one picture and I’m going to link to the recipe because I followed it pretty much exactly. It was delicious and hearty and the warming spices are just the thing at this time of year.
Predictably for New Year we are on a bit of a health kick around here and I have many recipes I am eager to share here in the (I hope) not too distant future. I’m currently dealing with a toddler who is existing on a self imposed diet of peas, grapes and yoghurt.
In other news we’ve discovered
an amazing gluten free and vegetarian cafe, Cafe Meon, which is absolute heaven
as far as I am concerned. The food is
amazing and my carnivore hubby even loves it.
I cannot express how exciting it is to eat out somewhere and not have to
think about checking everything with the chef.
The entire menu caters for people like me. Added to this is the fact the cafe is housed
in the beautiful Chesapeake Mill selling antiques and vintage wares so I get to
combine two of my favourite things, food and antique browsing. Website here.
Pictured above, their beetroot burger which so far is my favourite thing
on the menu. They also do fantastic
cakes and hot chocolate.
