I have been loving soft bread for the past few weeks. Just couldn’t stop baking them. So easy to make! My favourites are the one with pork floss, green onion and mayonnaise, and the sweet bread with peanut butter and black cherry jam. You can see the photos on my Instagram, here. Everyone just loved it! It was gone in few minutes. Nothing can make me happier than that.
When I was tidying up our herb garden yesterday, I found the oregano we planted few weeks back has been growing madly. I feel the urge to use some of it before any pest gets it.
When I was waiting for the dough to rise, I washed and picked the oregano leaves. At the beginning, I thought I just add some olive oil and pine nuts to make a pesto paste. Then, I saw the garlic I roasted earlier. Why not, eh? I always find it’s so much fun to improvise with what I have in the kitchen.
Then, Parmesan cheese is a must! Actually, I thought about Feta cheese first. However, I couldn’t find any in my fridge. What a disaster! Time for grocery shopping!
Anyway, the results turned out good. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Thank you Jen! I haven’t checked any of my emails today because I had quite a stressful day but a good one all in all. I had a really important doctor’s appointment with my opthamologist and through the very extensive glaucoma and cataract testing when drops in my eyes they found very small cataract, which the doctor said was probably could present no problem whatsoever common I hope that’s the case. For most of the day I went around with polarized sunglasses everywhere I went cuz my eyes were sensitive to light. But after walking 1622 steps today, according to my pedometer I’m staying home today so I can do all kinds of Home things I normally do.
I look forward to seeing what you sent. God bless you Jen.
