Did you know that recently the Singapore pandan cake has made headlines, after being named one of the world’s 17 best cakes by the travel website of US news outlet CNN? They have described the cake as essentially a chiffon cake infused with green-coloured juice from the pandanus palm.
Having this Collective Bias opportunity, I decided to make a Pandan Pretzel to celebrate World Pretzel Day which is today!
Have you seen that Warburtons are challenging their consumers to get inventive with Giant Crumpets in Dr Bunsen’s recipe challenge? They want you to share your favourite Giant Crumpet recipe with him and his faithful assistant Beaker for a chance to win a Giant Crumpets Hamper, including a £200 shopping voucher or one of hundred runners up £50 vouchers that they are giving away!
Recently, Kellogg’s unleashed a brand new Ancient Legends range of delicious granolas, mueslis and cereals onto the shelves of British supermarkets. These six new Ancient Legends products, which come in colourful re-sealable pouches, take their name from the ancient grains and seeds such as spelt, chia and flax that make up the product.
Did you know that the UK’s number one crumpet brand has just got a ‘hole’ lot bigger, as Warburtons has launched delicious new Giant Crumpets! These thick and fluffy crumpet have grown to almost twice the size of regular crumpets. With its same much loved taste and texture, how can you not give them a try!
This is designed to fit easily inside your toaster. We had this Breville toaster VTT571 which is a perfect fit for Warburtons Toastie loaf and alongside all other Warburtons loaves that toasts completely to the top! This giant crumpet is slightly thicker and it is a snug fit inside the toaster. I only used setting 2 (out of 6) to toast it and it comes out to a perfect temperature.
Warburtons Thin Bagel was such a great hit in this household that we had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Last week, we had been trying out Warburtons three new bagel flavours: Cinnamon & Raisin, Sesame, and Plain.
As many people know, bagels are usually very dense and chewy. Warburtons new bagel is very much different! It has the same authentic bagel taste and texture but just thinner which is so much easier to eat.
I have recently received this Wilton baking tray dippers for review and at the back of the instructions is this breakfast dippers recipe provided by Wilton. This Cinnamon Waffle Dippers is very simple to make and you can also use any waffle recipe for this tray.
Did you know that Wyevale Garden Centre is currently running an Easter event for you and your family to have breakfast with the cute Easter bunny? The session lasts for approximately 90 minutes and is suitable for children between 2–10 years old.
Both children were so excited when I told them that we were going have breakfast with the bunny! They both were looking forward to sharing their meal and of course getting a lot of chocolate too!
This coming Mother’s Day, I decided to bake and make this mini Cake Bouquet. I have a sweet tooth and I can eat cake all day long. This is perfect as a Mother’s Day gift or even breakfast with tea!
Last week, we popped by Star City and managed to catch Honey Monster on the last day of his tour of the Midlands to share some of his yummy Honey Monster Puffs! They were re-branded from Sugar Puffs to the new name last year 2014.
As we walked into the main building at Star City, the cuddly monster was standing in his stand waving at us! We had a family photo taken by their lovely staff and both children were very excited to give Honey Monster a cuddle!
The Sugar-Free Kitchen is a simple cookbook with recipes that drives towards eating a cleaner, healthier diet. It offers a range of exciting recipes to help reduce or eliminate sugar from your diet while still being tasty and delicious.
The cookbook is also very informative. It explains how both refined and natural sugar affects the body, how it has snuck into our food, the health benefits of eating more quality protein, wholefoods and good fats and much more.
It has certainly enlightened me. I was always very curious about the alternatives for sugar for diabetics. Both my parents suffered from diabetes which I will likely inherit in future. So I should watch my intake of sugar especially as I love sugary food!
The book will be released on 3rd November 2014 and is published by Parragon Books Ltd. The book is paperback containing about 128 pages. It comes with six chapters: introduction, breakfasts, lunch & snacks, mains, desserts & baking and index. It is easy to navigate through the book for recipe ideas. Each recipe comes with clear instructions, beautiful photos and nutritional information per serving (calories, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars, salt, fibre and protein).
Making your own bread? Why not try adding granola, dates and walnuts or olives? Making bread can be so much fun! We have received a packet of Jordans Simply Granola crunchy baked oats with a hint of honey to try which is available to buy in Waitrose and Tesco at RRP £2.69 for 750g.

Breakfast is something I always like to have and we always make sure that both children have their breakfast too. Even if they are late for school, I will bring their cereal bowls to eat in the car (without milk). Having breakfast is definitely the best way to start our day!
Saturday is always a lie in for Mr C and I but after being woken up by the children today, I decided to cook breakfast.
There are already several types of cooking sprays in the market and now Lurpak® has launched a new Cook’s Range. There are four in this range: clarified butter, cooking liquid, cooking mist and baking.
I have the Lurpak® Cooking Mist and used it to cook paratha (Indian flatbread) by spraying the Cooking Mist onto my Pyrex pancake pan.

I have two children who wake up without fail before 7.30 am but I am lucky that they will play with their iPad, play together or with their toys and don’t disturb my husband and I while we sleep on. Then at 8 am, I will tell them it is tell to go down to have their own breakfast.
I always prepare everything the night before so that we won’t be rushing around in the morning. These are the regular tasks:
