With Aussie Dad’s celebrating Father’s Day in just over a week, we have been shopping to find gifts for the Man of the House. We have been painting our home over the past few months. The study will be one of the next rooms tackled, so we thought it would be fun to find a few items to modernise the study area. Rose gold, marble, monochromatic, and geometric are popular homeware trends. We found some great, affordable items that will look fantastic in the study.
The bronze clock with marble effect face, is a classic piece that will work well with the black and white study. The marble effect planter complements the clock. We found a lovely miniature palm for the pot. The desk lamp is nice and sturdy with a metal base and can be easily adjusted to focus the light where you need it.
Dad loves double chocolate chip muffins, so we baked a batch and they are in the freezer, all ready for breakfast in bed on Fathers Day.
- 1½ cups plain (all purpose) flour
- 1 tsp bicarb soda (baking soda)
- 1 cup caster (superfine) sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa
- 100 gram ( 3.5 oz) butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup yoghurt
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Sift the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add half of the chocolate chips.
- Melt the butter. Add the remaining wet ingredients and mix well.
- Add the combined liquids to the dry ingredients and fold together until just combined.
- Divide the mixture between the muffin pans. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips.
- Bake at 200 deg C (390 deg F) for 12 - 14 mins, or until centre springs back when pressed lightly. Leave in pans for approx 3 minutes before removing and cooling on a wire rack.
