Hey guys! It’s been a while since I spent some productive time in the kitchen (which means I’m a little short on recipes at the moment) so I thought I’d just write about my baking experiences lately. I’ve been food blogging for a while now and have not been shy in sharing every success and milestone, but I guess you already know that the recipes you see up on the blog do not make up the whole story. I’ve had my fair share of epic and crazy kitchen failures as well, and I just thought it would be nice to give you a little glimpse behind the… Well, not exactly…

{Kitchen Diaries} Fruity Comfort Food
What’s your favourite kind of comfort food? For a lot of people that is probably a tough question. I know I’ve got quite a few at the top of my mind, but one of them happens to be Apple Crisps or Apple Crumble. I just love the cinnamony scent and taste of the tender apples contrasting with the deliberate grittiness of the topping. I love how its simplicity, and the fact that it can be so easily and quickly thrown together, essentially epitomizes a lazy day at home in your pyjamas; hair unkempt, kicking back with a nice warm mug of coffee– no pretentions, no embellishments. Nothing else except plainly…
