Earl Grey Scones with Strawberry Lavender Jam

IMG_9062You know those moments where you just can’t find the motivation, drive, and let’s face it, energy to do things you know you should be doing or want to be doing?

Yeah, well I’ve been having one of those for like 3 months now.

I don’t know what it is but since March I’ve probably attempted to write a travel blog post, numerous recipes, a monthly favourites post, and even attempted to film a couple vlogs… yet, none of them have happened.

I blame going on holiday for totally messing up my normal routine. I also blame Netflix. (Daredevil. Am I right?!) Though, when it comes down to it, I guess I just got hit with a touch of the lazys. *wide-eyed face with blushing cheeks emoji*

So, what broke my lazy streak you ask?

Scones.

Recently my work colleagues and I decided to indulge in a spot of cream tea one day during work. We’re British, it happens.

IMG_9077We bought ourselves the scones, the strawberry jam, the clotted cream… It was all going so swimmingly till we sat down to eat, and then we became divided. The result of which being a ridiculous ongoing debate between me and my colleagues.

So, now I’m asking you… do you jam first, or do you cream first?

Not a euphemism. I’m being totally serious.

Steak & Guinness Pie

IMG_8186Oh look! A super impromptu recipe post!

Steak & Guinness Pie! Go!

IMG_8179Now, over the weekend I visited Chin Chin Labs (my favourite ice cream place in London! I even wrote a post about it!) to try their St. Patrick’s Day inspired ‘Guinness Malt Caramel’ ice cream… because Guinness. Caramel infused with stout and peat smoked malt. Yes. It was as delicious as it sounds. *drool*

However, it then struck me that I hadn’t actually made anything St. Patrick’s Day related for the blog as yet this year, and let’s face it… that shouldn’t be allowed.

So, after making a Chocolate Guinness Cake last year, I decided i’d go savoury… and put Guinness in my dinner.

As you do.

Hey, I like Guinness.

 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
