Adventures in cheese land!

Van Gaalen Cheese farm is about 90mins drive from Johannesburg, and has beautiful views, cute lambs, awesome biking/hiking trails, and of course, very tasty cheese! We missioned out there last Sunday... One thing I would advise is that their restaurant is quite pricey and not worth it (at least not where their sandwiches are concerned!). Rather get some nice bread and wine and buy cheese at their store and go picnic!

This picture is awesome! Yay us!

Nom! Sunday success!

Baked goodies to feed my fat...

Nomnomnom cheese and bacon muffins! Not bad for a first try, though they could be more cheesy, will try with maybe a strong cheddar next time. I followed this recipe.

Last night I made cinnamon bread - I left my dough to rise in my car...it was amazing! I have never felt anything so soft (except for maybe new born guinea pigs). But as can be see, it went a bit downhill on the baking...I forgot about it and it got burnt on top, but it is still delicious! (something with so much sugar and butter in it must be). I followed this recipe, her blog is great.

Happy Saturday!

One of my favorite things to do is to spend time making delicious breakfast!
