Autumn means pumpkin spice everything and after a few years of baking our own breads, I felt like pumpkin spiced bread would probably a fun thing to do this time of year. You see, read made with pumpkin is so moist, flavorful, and such a good time. I love having something that is crunchy on top of such soft, moist breads like this – so I made some pecan streusel to bake on top, but you can leave that out and just create the bread itself. The crunchy, nutty top is really good though, so if it’s something you might like, you should try!

Monster Wraps
Making a great and filling lunch, we created some of these monster wraps. The idea is simple – create a wrap of your choice, then cut some hair out of sliced cheese and make some eyes out of olives sliced up (though you could use red pepper to make eyes, if your not a fan of olives). We filled our wrap with red pepper hummus, cucumbers and slices of chicken, and then decorate them once they are rolled up. These impress so much in packed lunches!

3 Fun Oat Based Recipes – both Savory and Sweet
[Ad- gifted product] Whenever I think about oats, I think about breakfast porridge and oatmeal cookies. Neither of which are that flavorful or that fun to be honest! They are classics, but often if you have oats laying around, you might want to try something new, adventurous, and delicious. Also, did you know you can use oats to make savory dishes? They can be just as tasty in savory dishes as they are in sweet dishes! Today, we wanted to share three oat recipes, two savory and one sweet, with you for you to create and enjoy!
Savory Sausage Oatmeal

Vegan Hot Cross Buns | Recipe
[Ad- gifted product] Hot Cross Buns are an Easter classic in the United Kingdom – It’s something that I feel I never had even heard of before coming to the UK. It’s a slightly sweet bread, with a cross on the top that is actually not made of anything sweet and instead is normally a mix of water and flour. The outside is sticky and coated with apricot jam, the inside is warm, slightly spiced and a bit sweet. I find them to be quite comforting as a tradition. This year, we teamed up with OGGS Aquafaba to create vegan hot cross buns – you can find loads of recipes for Easter treats and other vegan goodies on their website.
