First of all, let me wish you a fantastic New Year 2019! I hope you had a great time this holiday season! Today I will share with you my January Menu Plan. In this post, I will share a month worth of mouth-watering recipes.

Once a month, I share with you a menu plan with 7 mains, 3 sides, and 2 desserts per week so that you can choose and make up your personal menus. These recipes are not just mine, so I hope to introduce you all to many other very talented food bloggers.

After sharing the scrambled eggs and tomato toast After sharing the scrambled eggs and tomato toast recently, I thought it would be a good time to highlight one of my favourite herb blends 🌿

Herbes de Provence is a traditional French herb blend usually made with herbs such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, and savoury.

It's a simple way to add extra flavour to everyday ingredients and works especially well with eggs, tomatoes, roasted vegetables, potatoes, chicken, and soups.

Have you used Herbes de Provence before?

Ever wondered why your iced matcha tastes differen Ever wondered why your iced matcha tastes different every time?

It’s not just about the ingredients. Small details like the quality of the matcha, how you sift it, and how you whisk it can completely change the result.

Even the texture and colour can tell you a lot before you even take a sip.

Once you start paying attention to these steps, it becomes much easier to get a smoother, more balanced matcha at home 🍵
