Last Week’s Links
We only had two posts this past week, but that’s okay, because both were delicious!
Barefoot began by sharing Dating Isn’t So Bad After All. This tale is part fantasy, part fiction, and part memoir, and 100% scrumptious!
And to stimulate our visual appetites, Charmer shared Snow, a rarity and pleasantry in the Sonoran Desert.
You can read those and last week’s other yums here.

Book Club
February is here, and with it a new book.
Gallant by VE Schwab
Technically this is classified as a YA book and isn’t something I would usually read, but after reading The Invisible Life of Addie Larue a few years ago, VE Schwab quickly became one of my favourite authors. While written for a young adult audience, it’s also listed as a thriller, horror, mystery, paranormal fantasy. What’s not to love?
See the synopsis below.
I haven’t started yet but hope to get a good chunk in this weekend.
Week 110 Recipe
As a chocolate lover, there is nothing better than these. Seriously. Try them!
Chocolate Nutella Pancakes
Ingredients
- 150 ml milk
- 3 tbsp Nutella
- 2 tbsp melted butter plus more for frying
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 100 g plain flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat the milk in a microwave or small pan with the Nutella and whisk until melted. Leave to cool then whisk in the 2 tbsp butter, egg and sugar.
- Put the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder in a bowl and mix in the salt. Gradually whisk the wet into the dry ingredients to make a batter. Tip into a jug.
- Heat a large frying pan and brush with butter. Pour in batter to make small pancakes approx. 10cm across – cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip over and cook for another minute. Keep warm in a low oven while you make the rest.
- To make the sauce, gently heat the ingredients in a small pan, whisking until shiny (add a splash of water if it’s too thick). Pour over stacked pancakes to serve.
