Christmas pancakes

I read about this great idea from the blog A little delightful. The lady who writes for this blog, Bianca, has such great ideas for her family, whether it be creative craft, food, organising or art...she is very inspirational and I love her blog.

So this morning we did it, we made Christmas tree pancakes and they were very delicious. I was a little nervous about using a decor bottle to squirt my mixture onto the pan...
but it was super easy...
And although we didn't go to the next level with decorations and the likes...
they were pretty darn delicious with raspberry jam and maple syrup!!!

Might have to make something like this for Christmas breaky on Sunday. Isadora is so excited about "Christmas tree", which is actually anything Christmas related, whether it be Father Christmas, an Elf, an actual Christmas tree or even a ball ball decoration. Little Maya is not overly concerned as such...hehehe.

"Poppy's" breaky

I love this blog because I do believe in the phrase "you are what you eat". Not only from a health connotation, but also the story behind it. I will aim to give you a little glimpse into our world through our meals, cooking and food stories. 
This is what we call in our house "Poppy's Breaky". We used to have porridge in the morning but now Isadora loves to have Poppy's breaky every morning. This is because Poppy (my Dad), has stayed a few times recently at our place and he normally eats the prepackage porridge sachets with some added fruit and flavour, where as we just have the normal "Quick Oats" variety. So my fussy father would prefer to have standard Weet bix then have to deal with making oats. Since his last visit about, 2 months ago, Isadora has woken up, jumped out of bed and asked for this straight away. 
She doesn't like to have honey, I do, and she likes to break her biscuits into little pieces before she gets the milk. She has 1, I have 3.

How about the milk...what does that tell you about our little family. I think it tells you that Isadora is over 2 and we have graduated to lower fat milk, although we are a family on a budget so don't get lite white or the equivalent. I don't love that we get supermarket branded milk, but since we go through quite a bit, the added saving is worth it at the moment. Unfortunately cost makes a huge difference in family choices.
