A visit to Abbeyleix this week meant I could pick up some Mueller & O'Connell Bakery Walnut & Raisin Sourdough.

I was also in The Hopsack this week to restock on one of my favourite olive oils. I also spotted some Toons Bridge Dairy + Shops ricotta when I was there.

So breakfast this morning was Walnut & Raisin Sourdough with Ricotta. One slice with Olive Oil and one slice with Honey. It was delicious!

Used up what was left over from yesterday’s Sunday roast beef housekeepers cut. I made up a rich creamy & cheesy mash added a little extra beef stock to the remaining beef and topped two individual portions with the mash. Heated up in the oven this evening for the kids dinner and they loved them.

I was in Mitchelstown Co. Cork this week and stumbled upon The Town Coffee Company and what a great little coffee spot it turned out to be.

All the usual tempting pastries and treats, alongside a simple, short and really appealing breakfast menu.

I went for the Hot Honey Eggs with chilli jam and cottage cheese, which was exactly what I was after. I’ve been having cottage cheese with eggs at home quite a lot lately, so I was surprised and happy to see this combination on the menu. The honey and chilli worked brilliantly together, and the sourdough was excellent.

I also grabbed a coffee to take away, which was lovely. The staff were really friendly and service was quick, despite the place being busy with takeaway orders.

Before I left, I was asked if everything was okay and if I had enjoyed my breakfast. It’s such a simple thing, but sadly you don’t see that level of care in a lot of fast paced coffee places nowadays.

I also noticed the toilets were spotless, with some nice eco-friendly touches and free sanitary products.

This place is doing things the right way and you can tell they care👌☕️

Picked up some lovely sourdough from Hatch Coffee Blackrock which I knew would be lovely with my broccoli and blue cheese soup! I was making BLT’s for the kids so decided to keep some of that crispy bacon to top the soup with along with Parmesan shavings and drizzle of olive oil.
