Safari Supper!

Saturday, 24 October 2015

So you may be wondering what on earth a 'Safari Supper' is..I was too! Basically they're a great way to spend the evening with food and friends so there's nothing not to like!

Last night, some friends and I all teamed together to hold our own. Here's how it works... You get three houses and allocate each one a course; starter, main, dessert...(you could get crazy and add as many courses as you want) and then eat each one at each person's house!! It's even better when you keep it all a surprise :)



My housemates and I were on starters and our doggies couldn't wait to welcome everyone in and get the night started.



Helen was excited too!



For our starter we made peppers stuffed with couscous, goats cheese, caramelised red onion and sun dried tomatoes..


As well as (yes there's more!) bacon and leek tart..


And  (last one!) Chicken and pesto tart...with a side of rocket and balsamic glaze which you can add to any dish to make it look fancy!



All ten of us managed to squeeze around the table and tuck in...wine was flowing too of course!



So I think they liked it...


Poppy certainly did!


Next we went to Laura, Hannah and Emma's house where devoured this gorgeous roast dinner..They're far too good to only have on a Sunday!


The great thing about sarafi suppers is that you only have one course to make so can make extra effort with it which was clear in all three courses!




Little touches like this made whole night extra cute!!!! I loveee candles 



There's always ALWAYS room for dessert....and why not have two?!


There's no better way to end a meal than with chocolate! Zeinab, Jess and Lizzie were kind enough to spoil us with two chocolately delights; mocha cake and chocolate muffins smothered in more chocolate mmmm...

We certainly didn't end the night feeling hungry and it was lovely to all sit round and talk over lovely home cooked food....n'awww :)

Have you ever done a safari supper or something similar? Let me know in the comments :)


A cute idea: afternoon tea at home

Tuesday, 24 March 2015

Last Sunday, I decided it would be nice to have the girls over for  bit of quality time together. We're all lovers of tea and cake so it only seemed right that we do our own little afternoon tea!


Everyone was told to bring a sandwich, which we cut up and shared between us, and then a bake!


I feel like triangle sandwiches taste better than rectangle ones! So dainty and delicious :)


I made scones using Mary Berry's recipe which you can find here. I was a little hungover so I ended up making these very last minute...which turned out to be a good thing as I took them out them oven just as the girls knocked on the door!! Freshly baked scones are the best!


Jay made some yummy raspberry mousses with coulis which were very light and fruity! They looked great in the little jar pots - She used the pots you get with GU desserts (great excuse to buy some!)



Tiffany made a selection of chocolate, vanilla and marble cupcakes which I actually thought she'd bought as they looked that good!



Helen made some brownies - a true classic! Our chocolate fix was met that day..


There's nothing like fresh flowers to finish off the look of a table :) I bought these for my room to cheer me up this week for only £1.50 in Tesco!



I really wanted to share this all with you as we all had such a lovely afternoon and it's just a bit different isn't it! I think next we'll have to have a "pot luck" night or something...we're all major food lovers!!
