Australian Christmas Feast

What I Ate for Christmas 2014

Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone.

If you are reading this post close to the video uploading date (31/12/2014), then it may not be completely finished since I am trying to reference recipes to the original owners. Also I wanted to get this video up sooner than later. 

I have linked the recipes that we were inspired from. We put our own twist on a lot of the dishes. 

Breakfast

Homemade bread

I played around with a few different bread recipes but I left the dough to rise overnight which resulted in SUPER fluffy bread... yum!

Orange Cake (gluten dairy free)

We used the upside down pineapple cake concept but used the flourless orange cake recipe instead. 

Gluten free cornbread

We replaced the buttermilk with almond milk and lemon juice

Dairy free eggnog

December Favourites 2014 | DancingFashion

It's coming to the end of 2014! Here's the video where I share my December Favourites.

What were you loving in December?



I am hoping to upload one more festive video before Christmas so stay tuned :)

Summer

Hey :)

I am writing this post while my first vlogmas video is uploading! I think it is going to take a while because it's jumped from 140 minutes to 325 minutes :/ 

I am working a lot in the next two weeks; I only have 3 days off in total. It's alright though because I did apply to be a Christmas casual and I work in retail so it's pretty busy. I am really liking the job which is great. 

I have made a summer playlist and it's still a work in progress. I listened to a pretty chill song on the radio two nights in a row but I can't remember any lyrics except "plastic" in the chorus. I am dying to know what it is. 

This is the playlist so far:

Prime- Allie X

Light & Sound- Luke Million

Interminable- Just a Gent

Stay Gold- First Aid Kit

Sun Models- ODESZA

Come Down- Crooked Colours (PRFFTT & Svyable X Ianborg Remix)

Busy Earnin'- Jungle

Everybody wants to rule the World- Just a Gent

Cameo Lover- Kimbra

On Fire- Carmada

Talk Talk- George Maple

Blank Space- Taylor Swift

I still need to add some pop songs of the moment.

Uni semester 2 marks are being released this Friday :O I can and cannot wait!!

Update you guys soon.
