Friday food for thought

• Breakfast is by far my favourite meal of the day. And although I love farls (with nutella? Heaven!), my favourite breakfast is by far smoked salmon and poached eggs with hollandaise sauce and a sliced muffin (the English type of course!)
• My crotch hurts – sorry, that’s probably not you wanted to hear on a Friday morning, but I’m telling you, spinning isn’t all about happy sweating and thighs of steel (not that mine are anywhere near that stage – but I can safely say I’m no.1 contributor to the sweat production in that little studio)
• I’m going to one of my local schools in a couple of weeks to hold a stand at a careers fair. I’m rather excited. I’ll be eating in the cantine and hanging out with the teachers. I feel like I’m 14 again.
• Couple of birthdays coming up – I can’t make my mind up as to what cakes to make – I may have to make several things and let people in the office get fat. They're mostly blokes so they’ll love me for it anyway!
• Last night's dinner was super lush. Give it a go, chicken with polenta (we swapped the chicken for turkey breasts and it was still super lush). Recipe from here.

• And after that, I made little parcels of lushious peanut butter and chocolate chips. Recipe from here. Puffs all in my belly :-)

And because I know you need to see a little close up to convince you to make these babies (in no time I'd like to say and you only need puff pastry, peanut butter, chocolate chips, a little milk and granulated sugar) - you will thank me for it - ok maybe your thighs won't (what's with this thigh obsession today?!) but noone said you had to stuff it all down your gob in one go - just saying

• edited to add: And Sue at the Quince Tree has received my little giveaway - well done Royal Mail for not loosing it!!

Happy Friday!! x
