January has been a pretty hectic month for me – I’ve taken the plunge and I’m getting a whole new kitchen and bathroom in my apartment! As a result, the first half of the month was all about making decisions and packing things, and the rest has been living out of my suitcase! My January favourite finds are therefore non-renovation-related pockets that brought me calm or joy this month! I’d love to hear about your January favourite finds too!
Recipe: Plum Compote & My 6th Blogiversary
So somehow yesterday was my 6th blogiversary! Yep, that’s right, I Spy Plum Pie has been kicking around for six whole years now! At this time every year I like to share a plum-themed recipe, and this year I’ve got the recipe for this deliciously simple plum compote. As always, my mum’s plum trees were bursting at the seams, so this is an excellent recipe to use up some of those rather ripe plums I had in my fruit bowl.
Review: Gabriel, Fitzroy
It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared any of the places I’ve been eating at with you all, but I’m here to do exactly that!

Recipe: Sweet Potato Avocado Salad
I offered to whip up a salad for a BBQ recently and decided I wanted something hearty but simple. This sweet potato avocado salad was the answer, and it was delicious! The best part is, you can prep most of it in advance which makes pulling it together when you’re ready to serve a dream.
