What is overnight oats?
Overnight oats (OO) is basically oats soaked in the liquid of your choice. Either milk or yogurt, but you can always experiment with other kinds. It is often chilled overnight (hence the name) and usually left uncooked. However you can heat it up if you prefer to. It is perfect for days when you are in a rush to make breakfast, just make it in a jar the day before and it’s ready to go the next day.
You can add any kinds of toppings you want to it. You can add fresh fruits, nuts, dried fruits, peanut butter, etc. Many people also add chia seeds to the overnight oats. Be adventurous and try new additions, you might be pleasantly surprised!
This is also good to put together with your kids, let them play around with their favorite toppings and learn more about fruits and nuts, etc. There’s no or minimal cooking involved, so it’s safe for them as well.

Tomato Basil Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
There’s nothing quite like the pleasures of simple, yet great comfort food. A favorite of my eldest, Ginny. This is comfort food at its best - it’s so simple and so delicious! If you’ve never had tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich, what are you waiting for? Let’s go.
What you need:
- 750 grams of ripe tomatoes
- 1 small potato, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 sprigs of basil
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup of vegetable stock
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream (optional)
- 1/4 cup of parsley or basil, finely chopped for garnish
Steps:- Place all ingredients, except the parsley and cream into a saucepan with the stock. Bring to a boil and let it simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
- Serve soup with a swirl of cream (optional) and sprinkle with chopped parsley or more basil if you like. Serve with yummy grilled cheese sandwiches (read below for further info). Enjoy!
Note: I used a hand blender to make the soup smoother, if you prefer the chunky version skip this step.
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
I used Italian bread, and smeared garlic butter (For this I mixed butter with minced garlic and Italian seasonings) on each slice and used american cheese, you can use Cheddar cheese or any other cheese of your preference. Then you grill it and eat it, of course!
Yummy!!!!

This post goes out to Eeel who made a foodwish for egg tarts.
When I first started cooking I was purely a metric person, the reason simply being that it was more familiar and I liked the precision that comes with using a scale. It used to be a pain because a lot of recipes out there…
egg tarts! i love peegaw’s blog so much - she’s a superhuman med student who cooks/bakes on the side, and she always includes beautiful photos!
