one hundred.

This is my 100th post and I've been trying to come up with some form of cool celebration for a week and I've thought and thought about it and NOTHING. A whole year and a half of blogging and a whole hundred posts and I still can't come up with random ideas. I've clearly done a good job of getting better at blogging. Gold star to me. #yay

So, I hope you enjoyed the first hundred, and let's see if I can make it to 200 posts before me and you get bored of foodporn. Cheers for reading. It's been fun. I'll leave you with this inspirational video. I will be back soon. x

SC#29 | Apple thyme muffins with caramel drizzle

I made these muffins ages ago now and forgot to post about them! Terrible mistake, because they were delicious. And easy. They're the perfect treat for a snowy day, served warm and if you're very indulgent (and have awesome central heating), some vanilla ice cream...



I had a cook-off at my house with a couple friends, and decided it would be an interesting challenge to use only things I already had. I got lucky and realised I had all the ingredients to reproduce Spoon, Fork, Bacon's apple thyme cake recipe. The only thing that I did different was use French crème de caramel au beurre salé instead of making my own caramel.

I have no cake tin, so I turned them into muffins. They tasted just perfect like that!



Another thing I forgot to post about is this one time when I went to The BBC Good Food Show… for free… and got given free fancy gin from 9am… and tons of fantastic food… MOSTLY CHEESE. Also got to attend a Great British Bake-Off demo. So,  accept this picture of Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood baking together as my (late late late) Christmas gift to you.
