i am a FIEND for mushrooms, and this hits the spot everytime. so. so. good.
Spinach & Feta Stuffed Mushrooms
focaccia bread is my favourite, and it's super simple to make! this recipe makes it with tomato and garlic, but it's super customisable. you could add rosemary, caramelised onions, olives, the world is your oyster!
my favourite way to serve this is with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, but you can serve it with butter too!

a pavlova is a great dessert that's quick to make and makes a great centerpiece for your dessert spread.
