Cooking with Jamie

I thought I would share a super easy but extra tasty dinner with you this week. I've cooked it twice now and both times it's been a success. Over the holidays I decided it was time to start cooking from my ever growing cookbook collection, as most things I cook are from magazines (or packets...eeek) It is from Jamie Oliver's book "Cook With Jamie" and it is:

Roasted Chicken breast with creamy butternut Squash (pumpkin in Australia) and chilli's

Ingredients per chicken breast:

 half a fresh red chilli de-seeded and sliced

leaves of a few sprigs of Oregano

salt

pepper

a quarter of butternut pumpkin thinly sliced

a small amount of double cream 

nutmeg

method:

toss together red chilli and oregano over chicken breast

place chicken breast in an over proof container on foil

place pumpkin around the edge of the chicken 

carefully pour double cream on pumpkin without getting the chicken

sprinkle with nutmeg, salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil

Jamie says to cook on 200 degrees Celsius for 25-35 minutes but my oven is old and takes at least 50. Maybe fan-forced would be quicker

Enjoy it really is tasty and Easy!

Wedding Wednesday

For today's wedding post I thought I would share a whole heap of images I have found via pinterest. I'm really like the idea of giving my bridesmaids a theme colour and letting them pick their own dress. I think all these girl below look fantastic. Who knows though by the time I actually get around to asking them I'll probably have another idea.

What do you think of different bridesmaid styles?

Wedding Wednesday.

So as I mentioned earlier this month Toby proposed and we are getting married. I have no idea on the logistics of anything yet, (the date, where, church/not church, wedding party, colours, theme, we can't even decide when to have an engagement party etc) but am finding the world wide web constantly inspiring. So I thought (since it's Wednesday today) I would share ideas and inspirations for weddings I have found online on, you guessed it Wednesday's. Today I am going to share a wedding I found via etsy way back when....... 

I love how they did a whole lot of DIY for their wedding which I will most definitely be doing. You should go and watch their wedding video it's such a beautiful wedding and I especially love the song Golriz walked down the isle to by The Cinematic Orchestra called "to build a home".

Pinterest

A couple of months ago my old dell laptop died. I had luckily recently brought an external hard drive and had backed up all of my photo's. I was however really disappointed that I didn't have access to websites with photos that I had saved in  my favourites (I wish I couold remember them all). To prevent this from happening I decided to set up a pinterest account. You can look at my pins here . I haven't pinned alot but you'll get the idea. You can search other people pins as well it's very inspiring. 

I'll leave you with a pin from my wedding idea's board 

I re-pinned it but its originally from here, that's the best bit about pinterest you can go back to where the image is originally from. 

Do you pin? If so what is your name so I can find you? 

My weekend in instagrams

I just had the biggest whirlwind of a weekend I thought instagrams would describe it best.

A day at the races, breakfast with friends, a new hair do, lunch and cardigan shopping with my boy, opening engagements cards (and early gifts) rugby union with chocolate spiders and Willow. It was a great weekend. How was your weekend?

Fabric

A few months ago I came across this image of bow-ties via once wed (yes I'm a avid wedding blog reader and have been for quite some time, pre-engagment sad I know a girl can dream right?)

and I instantly fell in love with the turquoise floral one. They are made by Forage and I'm majorly regretting not buying one for Toby (who's to say he'd even wear a bow tie I'm dreaming again) They also have a cool blog to called Something's hiding in there.

Anyway the fabric later popped up in a magazine I was reading then I eventually found an etsy seller who sold it so I quickly purchased some from her.

The fabric arrived today and is called betsy! How cute is that. I'm going to get now that's gorgeous to turn the lovely fabric into some new cushions for me, similar to the ones I brought off her in September.

 Hopefully I'll have some left over for a bow-tie ;)
