Wire your Home
I am obsessed with using wire objects at home, be it for shelves, hangers, baskets, furniture, or even just as decorations. I love the rustic feel and how well it compliments all colours, styles and shapes in your home.
Below is one of the wire baskets we have at home and use for storing onions in our kitchen.
I have assembled a few lovely ideas and hope it will inspire you to get wired up:

Roasted Butternut and Turkey Salad
My partner and i are both big butternut fans. We like butternut in soup, as puree and in salads. After the long weekend, I decided to make a salad to start the week.
Even though salads are healthy, they can still be made delicious and filling. The key is using many different ingredients that are balanced and compliment each other.
Last night I made a roasted butternut and carrot salad, with Turkey and green beans on a bed of couscous and lettuce, with grilled goat cheese and lemon and honey balsamic vinaigrette on top.

Infused Sugar
I recently made these cute little infused sugar jars as a birthday present and have since starting making it for the house and exploring with new flavours.
Not only is an adorable little gift, but also tastes amazing. The added flavour, just give the sugar a little kick and the uses are endless. It could be used for cakes, cookies and even for tea or coffee.
The trick to really getting a flavourful sugar, is by zesting the fruit and letting it dry in the fridge over night, before adding it to the sugar. Also leave the infused sugar for about a week before you start using it or give it away as gifts.
The two flavours I chose were lemon and vanilla, but you could also use coffee beans, lavender, lime and so forth
