#INVITED | Today wasn’t a great day, but tonight was an amazing night! Melted cheese makes me so, so happy! I was invited to @innisandgunnashtonlane tonight to attend a showcase of @brigstonandco who supply them with their gourmet hot dogs. The chefs used the hot dogs in several different ways which I’ll share with you in due course, and this one is my absolute favourite! A bowl of melted @cowsandco Brie with @brigstonandco sausage & bacon pastry skewers. Heavenly 😍 Innis & Gunn absolutely need to get this onto their menu, pronto!
Always a pleasure, Plato! Whilst the a la Carter menu is always excellent value for money, Plato are running a phenomenal deal at the moment for 2 courses for £10 for selected times all week! Their food is to die for, so this price is honestly outrageous! I went today for an early lunch and I’m so stuffed I won’t be needing a dinner either! This restaurant is one of my firm favourites - I totally recommend it to anyone who hasn’t yet tried them out! 🇬🇷❤️
We found ourselves absolutely starving, frozen to the bone, and on Ashton Lane this evening and made the emergency decision to find comfort food immediately! We cruised the outdoor menus and both felt immediately compelled to order the french onion soup with comté crouton the sencond we read the words. It warmed us up perfectly! ❤️🇫🇷
When you’ve had a tiring day of work and are too hungry to decide what to buy from the supermarket... I’ve wanted to properly try Guidi’s in Airdrie for ages so today became that day. They bake their own bread every day and I have say, it was unbelievable! Chewy but soft and it tasted like heaven. So much so that we both had to unbutton our trousers to sit comfortably in the car on the way home 😂
Fireworks & apple strudel with my best pals. I’d say that’s a pretty decent way to spend a Guy Fawkes Night 👌🏼
Brunch goals 😍 Behold! The Duck Club Bun! This top half of the brioche bun was rendered useless as the bottom half piled up with spiced BBQ duck, pomegranate mayonnaise, coriander, pickled cabbage and a runny poached egg! It was too tall to eat as a bun, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As is everything here, this was absolutely delicious!
Weekend vibes ❤️
Marshmallow Land is my favourite place in the world! By far my favourite part of @itisonglasglow 😍 I opted for the triple mallow + Rolo version and it was an absolute delight! The entire are was a fairy lit, garden picnic dream! ✨
I have been unable to stop thinking about two things today: this pudding and what I was going to make for my dinner tonight. And sadly, no, I didn’t have this pudding for dinner tonight! I have been a fan of creamed rice my entire life, and I’ve been meaning to make some after @laurenscravings posted her recipe, but I’m lazy and haven’t bothered my backside. Last night it was on the menu and I couldn’t resist. Coconut rice pudding with roasted plums! Fan. Dabby. Dosy. 🍑
