Red Velvet Pancakes - 7 Days Of Red Velvet


I'm listening to James Ingram as I write up this post. I love classic music escape especially the 80's and 90's R&B. The music was timeless, evoking emotions that you never knew you had. His songs remind me of being in love, puppy love. When you thought a certain boy was your world and the very essence of your being was him existing. I chuckle at the memories but I miss such kind of love, filled with innocence, pure bliss and devotion to being each other's only admiration. Love has changed, I think, it has become to some extent selfish, indulgence and "me me me" kind of expectations. Even R&B of nowadays is filled with too much vulgar language, swear words that you wonder are you being serenaded or being insulted? I did not mean to rant, I promise, maybe its all these memories bubbling to the top. Now back to reality, food reality. Today is the first of my 7 Days of Red Velvet series and what better way to start it off than with the most delicious, perfect and romantic breakfast of all time, pancakes! Red velvet pancakes! Wake him/her to the smell of this delicious treat and you will be on your way to having a perfect morning and the perfect rest of the day. Shall we?

Blueberry Muffin Overnight Oats


Well hello there! Two oats recipes in less than two weeks? I must really want to eat healthy this year! Why am I even surprised? I should be eating oats daily, lol! I'm kind of falling or have already fallen in love with overnight oats. I used to imagine myself eating oats and I would totally dismiss it. The truth is, you never know what is good for you unless you try it! Oats can be boring if you just have them plain. Add texture, color, spice and aromaaroma, you have the best breakfast meal you can think of. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, hence the need to fill up on food that has immense nutritional value and keeps you full the whole day. You can never go wrong with oats, just add your favourite toppings and you have a complete meal for the day

7 Days Of Red Velvet For Valentines Day


We all know next week is Valentines Day right? If not, which rock have you been living under? Haha! Anyway the marketing frenzy has already began with offers, sales, gifts, promotions, competitions and what not. I have none of that! Sigh! But, what I have for you is some delicious food ideas for you to celebrate with your loved one/s. If you're single, like yours truly, you can always kick off your shoes after a long day, pour a glass of wine, then decide which dessert you will start with first. Self love is all the rage nowadays. Share love this Valentines and give yourself love, you deserve it! Any who, enough ramblings for a minute. I needed some inspiration on what to cook this month of love and coming up with 7 recipes has given me the excitement to enter the kitchen. It is truly sad that I only have four red velvet recipies on this blog, fret not that is about to change with these seven new recipes coming soon from 7th February to 14th February, and more later on.
