Nothing it can't cure
So I am on a mini oats bake-a-thon now. I like using oats for its texture and not so much for its so called ‘health reasons’. I have got so tired of ‘health food’ that I now consciously avoid anything that claims to be healthy. Its ridiculous really how we have stopped enjoying food for…

So I am back after a month though it seems like ages. In March, I had a very different perception of how April and May would turn out considering it is the daughter’s vacation time, but it wS hectic and chaotic in wholly different ways. Right from having a oil splash accident to help organise…
