Autumn in Ireland | Homemade Cake, Cozy Sewing Afternoons & Slow Living
🍂 A Slow Living Day in Our Home in the Irish Countryside
Welcome to another glimpse into our everyday life here in the Irish countryside. 🤍 Today, I’m baking a traditional Brazilian cornmeal cake, sewing a new oven mitt for my kitchen, and enjoying a quiet afternoon with a cup of tea, a slice of homemade cake, and my book.
There is something comforting about the simple things in life: the smell of a freshly baked cake, the gentle rhythm of sewing something by hand, and the pleasure of sitting down with a warm drink and a good book. These little moments make an ordinary day feel special.
🍰 BRAZILIAN CORNMEAL CAKE RECIPE | BOLO DE FUBÁ MIMOSO
Today, I’m making bolo de fubá mimoso, a traditional Brazilian cornmeal cake that brings back memories of home and the simple pleasures of Brazilian cooking. Soft, homemade, and delicious with coffee or tea, this cake is perfect for a quiet afternoon.
Ingredients:
3 eggs
200 g sugar
200 ml vegetable oil
240 ml milk
280 g fine cornmeal
30 g all-purpose flour
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
If you enjoy homemade cakes, traditional Brazilian recipes, easy baking, and simple ingredients, I hope you enjoy this recipe. For me, baking is about more than making something delicious. It is about slowing down, enjoying the process, and filling our home with the comforting scent of something freshly baked.
🧵 SEWING A NEW HANDMADE OVEN MITT
Alongside baking, I’m spending some time at my sewing machine, making a new oven mitt for our kitchen.
I love sewing practical things for our home, especially handmade projects that are both useful and beautiful. Choosing the fabric, working through each step, and turning simple materials into something we can use every day is such a satisfying process.
I’m not an expert at sewing, but I truly enjoy learning and sharing the little things I make. I hope these projects inspire you to try sewing too, whether you are a beginner or already enjoy making things by hand.
If you love sewing projects, beginner-friendly sewing, DIY kitchen accessories, fabric crafts, and handmade home items, I hope you find a little inspiration here.
🍵 TEA, HOMEMADE CAKE & A QUIET MOMENT WITH A BOOK
After baking and sewing, it is time to slow down and enjoy the afternoon. I prepare a cup of tea, cut myself a slice of homemade cornmeal cake, and settle down with my book.
These quiet moments are a lovely part of my day — a chance to pause, enjoy something delicious, and spend a few minutes reading without rushing. Sometimes, all we need is a homemade treat, a warm drink, a few pages of a book, and a little time to ourselves.
This is one of the things I love most about slow living: learning to appreciate the everyday moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
🍂 SIMPLE LIVING IN THE IRISH COUNTRYSIDE
