labne + cupcakes + cookies = mmm

right-e-o, so i am feeling inspired (mainly because my phone takes an okay picture and its much easier to use than the camera!).

so this weekend (i work PT and hence, have a 4 day weekend) I started making labne. Basically you need nice greek yoghurt, olive oil, garlic and rosemary. Oh and some glass or plastic containers of course! duh. I bought some yummy margaret river greek yoghurt and its currently sitting in the fridge - dripping. I just need to roll it into balls next and infuse in olive oil with garlic and rosemary for at least 24 hours. Am thinking these would go great in the hampers we are making up for christmas presents.

last night my sister had us over for a family BBQ. she is heading to bali for a couple of weeks for a pre-christmas break. she likes white chocolate so i recreated the white chocolate mud-cupcakes for her. but this time i zested a lemon and added it to the mixture. it was lovely. topped with some chocolate buttercream, they were intense. a definate sugar HIT. cupcake wrappers from IKEA!

i bought my cookie container from textile traders earlier this year. isn't she gorgeous?
even better when full of chocolate chip cookies (with walnuts + currants).
these are for afternoon tea tomorrow
yell if you want any recipes xx
