DONNA HAY'S BACON & EGG PIES

A friend recently gifted me a copy of Donna Hay's Fast, Fresh, Simple cookbook and last Sunday the boyfriend and I indulged in our first recipe; the egg & bacon pies. Check out my results below - pretty impressive for a quick and easy breaky! the perfect fluffy eggs...and I know its only Tuesday but I'm already looking forward to another weekend's breakfasts a-la Donna Hay!

3 Rashers of Bacon

3 eggs

1/2 cup of sour cream

1tblsp of parsley leaves ( I used fresh chives instead)

Preheat oven to 180˚c. Grease 2 ramekins/pie tins and line each with 1 1/2 rashers of bacon (next time I'm going to cook the bacon a little in a pan first for maximum crispiness). In a bowl whisk together the eggs, cream and herbs. Pour the mix evenly into the ramekins and bake for 25mins or until the egg is set. Serve with hot buttered toast.

WEDDING BLISS

Here's a little peek at the wonderful weekend I just had celebrating my best friend becoming a Mrs.

Married on a sunny Saturday morning overlooking Noosa's crystal clear water on the Sunshine Coast, the happy couple both looked stunning and put so much effort into creating a personal eco-chic day that was one to remember!

Our lovely Bride thoughtfully choose a perfume for us all to wear, creating a scent to remember...and our Bridesmaid dresses hanging and ready for action on the big morning!

The wedding favours were these sweet beeswax candles and bamboo coasters. The little quote you can see tucked in between was printed on recycled seeded paper that is able to be planted and grown into a Lemon Scented Bottlebrush (an Aussie native)

BLOOMIN' TUESDAY : KAFFIR LILLIES

Me and my posts have been M.I.A for the last week because I was lucky enough to have been soaking in the good weather up at Noosa on the Sunshine Coast for my best friend's wedding (some pics to follow). Thought I'd share some Spring blooms with you today in celebration; these bursts of brightness have just suddenly bloomed in my front yard.

PHOTO OF THE DAY : FRIENDLY FLOWERS

A lovely lady gave me theses blooms a couple of months ago, but I only just re-discovered these pics I snapped, cleaning up my hard-drive in prep for my new imac's arrival this morning! (woot)

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS/BEAUTIFUL FRIEND

I adore fresh flowers and would love to fill my home with a new bunch every week! which is why I was so grateful last night when one very lovely friend arrived with this bunch of pretty in her hand. Aren't random kind gestures the best sort... thank-you! X
