Blueberry scones

Freshly baked

There's a very strong smell theme of "blueberries" that's been appearing recurrently throughout my foodie posts. Blame it on my taste buds, but these little gems are undeniably delightful (and healthy too!). They're delicious alone, in muffins (see my recipe here), or on pancakes with whipped cream. However, I've recently discovered that they also complement scones quite nicely. The inspiration behind this baking venture came mainly from a recent Vogue cooking video I watched (have a look here by yourself). Some of the ingredients were tricky to acquire where I was, and I also needed a recipe that minimized preparation time but could still maximize product quantity. So after a quick browse on Google, I managed to find my winner. And boy were the scones positively addictive - it was fun making them too!

A good way to de-stress and to make your tummy happy - that's my final verdict.

Fruit and Nut Muesli Surprise dotted with Fresh Blueberries

Starting the day off healthily

No I’m not going on a diet. I’m simply choosing to eat (slightly) more healthily than I did before. The best part about it was that I made an entire week’s plan of what I wanted to eat – no need to worry about what the next meal should be AND I've already stocked up on everything that I need.

Today, I start with muesli (or granola). It’s basically dried oats that have been stuck together, nothing fancy really. Well, that is, until you opt for the nut and fruit surprise packet. Crunchy, chewy and jam-packed with important nutrients (not that I could tell you what they are precisely), I personally have to say that it’s both a nourishing meal and an exercising session for our molars! And to make it just a bit more decadent, I topped mine with fresh blueberries.

Delicious.
