Cinnamon Swirl Bread


In all my baking, I have made 2 bread recipes, that is, the watermelon lookalike bread and double braided bread. I always had this recipe in my mind and knew I just had to make it. Filled with buttery cinnamon swirls, light and airy, this bread is just perfect! I'm loving baking my own bread since you get a fresh batch filled with your favorite stuffings. Cinnamon is my favorite sweet spice with its delicious aromatic taste, I knew I would fall in love with it. Is it just me that loves the smell of yeast fermenting when preparing bread dough, no? This bread is pretty simple and has very few ingredients, the steps might seem so many but totally worth it. With some patience and your favorite music playing as you prepare it,  this bread is bound to be addictive because its damn delicious!

Purple Cabbage Coleslaw


Did you know that coleslaw is from the Dutch word koolsla which literally means "cabbage salad". We simply just call it slaw, a common salad that consists of, no surprise there, finely shredded cabbage. Dressing for the slaw can either be mayonnaise, vinaigrette or even sour cream. Toppings for coleslaw come in many options like onions, Bacon, carrot, pineapple, bell peppers and even herbs. Coleslaw is eaten as a side dish that accompanies barbecued meats, French fries, fried chicken and sometimes even potato salad. You can even add coleslaw to hamburgers, top on sandwiches or layer in chili. And if you don't have cabbage you can always substitute with broccoli to make broccoli slaw! I had made pineapple coleslaw last year so today I chose to use purple cabbage instead, it gives the slaw a vibrant color and intense flavour. Purple or white cabbage, which is your favorite slaw?
