When I was a child I had a dream: make waffles at home and eat as much as I can. Now I’m an adult and my love of waffles remains. Recently we bought a waffle iron, so I can make my dreams come true whenever I want.

Rolled oats are a staple product in my home so when I found a recipe for an oat cake I was very interested. The combination of chocolate and nuts is one of my favourites. You add a little flour and not much sugar to this cake. This is what’s so good about it.

Every mum, both those who work and those who stay at home with their children, sometimes need breathing space. In every job sameness and daily challenges wear away at our inclination to be active. Although I love my family to death, I sometimes need to get away from hearing “muuuuuum” every 5 seconds, from thinking about dinner, or remembering about extra lessons and packed lunches for my child.
