Blogtoberfest Day 28 {Oaty Apple Pikelets}

This was lunch today for the girls. I had something a little lower in calories!

SO yummy! Oats, apples, honey and spice, what more could you want!

 Oaty apple pikelets (Recipe from here – if you want the healthier one use this recipe, I made mine a little fattier!)

INGREDIENTS

2 cups (500ml) full cream milk
1 cup (120g) oat bran
½ cup (75g) plain flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon mixed spice
2 eggs
1 large apple (200g), peeled, cored, chopped finely
1 tablespoon lemon juice
honey for on top
Butter for cooking

METHOD

Blend or process milk, bran, flour, sugar, spice and eggs until smooth; pour into large jug. Stir in apple and juice, cover; refrigerate 30 minutes (mixture will separate during refrigeration).
Heat large frying pan and add butter. Stir mixture to combine; using ¼-cup batter for each pikelet (mixture will be runny), cook two pikelets at a time, uncovered, until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn; cook until browned lightly. Serve topped with honey. (original recipe had ricotta as well which I think would be divine but we didn’t have any)

I think she wants this skirt!

Blogtoberfest Day 27 {Sigh}

I was doing so well! Life (ie sick baby) has prevented the daily blogging of late.

No sleep + Crying baby + Tantruming toddlers = No blog posts for this grumpy mummy!

Maybe tomorrow will be better!

Blogtoberfest Day 24 {Alabama Stitch Book}

One of my many birthday presents from my gorgeous husband was the Alabama Stitch Book. I have a few t-shirts from Rivers stashed away ready to make this gorgeous skirt. I chose red and a charcoal marle. Browsing Flickr makes me want to buy more t-shirts in more colours! How many versions of this skirt will be too much do you think?
