Making crumble when the clocks go back

The clocks have gone back and cosy knits are the norm.
It's looking more and more like winter every day.

Theres something I love about this time of year.
Yes the dark mornings make it even harder to drag yourself out of bed, and there's that 10 minutes spent defrosting your car.... but.... advent calenders are just around the corner....

Although the festivities are approaching, there's still Halloween, Bonfire Night and all those evenings spent wrapped up in between.

Whats better than spending a night in snuggled up with your favourite boxset and a cup of tea?
A cosy night in with your favourite boxset, a cup of tea... and comfort food!

These Peach and Raspberry crumbles are easy to make, tasty and will satisfy that "comfort food" craving!




Raspberry & Peach Crumble - Serves 4
  • 4 peaches
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tsp butter
  • 1/4 cup flour 
Method

  • Heat oven to 180°C.
  • De-stone and chop the peaches into chunks.
  • Mix peaches and raspberries in a bowl with 1 tbsp of honey.
  • In a seperate bowl, melt the butter, then add the four, sugar, rolled oats and 1 tbsp honey and mix together until a crumble forms.
  • Spoon the raspberries and peaches in to ramekins, sprinkle the crumble on top and bake for 20 - 25 minutes - or until the crumble is golden.

“Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life”


I need an outlet. 
Sometimes the day to day routine gets in the way of life and the things you love…..
Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat…. It gets mundane.  The same thing, day in, day out. This is why I need a little space, just for me.  A little place to call my own, where I can be as creative, or uncreative as I like, a place where all my adventures are stored, for me to look back at in years to come.  A little place to keep all the smiles and memories together.
As I said before, life gets in the way.  You forget the little things, the adventures slip your mind and the memories fade.  You focus on that 6.45am alarm, the 8 hour day at work, that 3 hour meeting you have.  Work takes over.  You forget that you went to yoga and got the giggles over chaturanga dandasana, and you forget that after that horrible week at work, you came home to find flowers waiting for you.... 
So!  This is my blog, my life and hopefully a nudge to create more memories with the people that matter most.

I’m Lindsay by the way and this is my little corner of the internet, welcome! J
