recipes for food lovers
Breakfast in our house follows much the same pattern for us all. It consists of cereal and toast. Very predictable I know. This is all down to the time constraints of getting me and my 3 children out of the house by exactly 8.25. Not too early, I agree. But, no matter what time I… read more »
Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday is nearly upon us. It’s this Tuesday, the 4th of March. After my recent American Pancake recipe, I find myself creating another pancake dish for Asda. In our house there has proved to be a definite parent/child divide regarding pancakes. Us parents are in love with the American style but the three… read more »
A little something sweet for Valentine’s day. Some will be dining out, others, like me will be eating in. I have reserved my free bottle of Waitrose champagne, thanks to their promotional gift when making your first online order with them. Usually this is accompanied by seafood, I don’t mind what. And something chocolate to… read more »
I told myself that this was going to be the year when I finally made a loaf of Stollen. But, here we are. Just a few days to go until the big “C”. Have I made that loaf yet? Nope. I also really wanted to make a tray of mini Stollen bites, with the idea… read more »

Both Nazima and I took the month of August off from hosting the One Ingredient blogging challenge but… read more »
I am not the most styled of food blogs. Food styling, props, good composition, angles and lighting are all so beautiful to behold but I just don’t have the time to devote to it. Hence my food shots are usually simple, featuring the said dish, usually on a white plate with no extras. This time,… read more »
During school holidays I like to make and bake things with my children. That is how these honey bites came to fruition. They are inspired by my love of crunchy nut cornflakes but don’t tell my children. I never buy them. Nor Frosties, sugar puffs or coco pops. I prefer to make them instead and… read more »
After the success I had making my first ever gingerbread house last Christmas (HERE) I thought I should have another try. So, here is my Easter Gingerbread House. Or rather village. As the children were having an Easter parade at school I thought it would be a good idea to make some mini gingerbread houses… read more »
ays3w2dxsqh This was one of those ideas that popped into my head at a very inconvenient moment. It was late in the day, around 6pm and the children had just eaten and were about to get ready for a bath when I suddenly thought of trying out a hot cross bagel. I knew I would… read more »
