Healthy no bake slices are the BEST, especially if (like me) you get sudden chocolate cravings at night and really don’t want to tuck into the kids lollie bags which are stashed at the back of the fridge. Read more…

I was going through my kitchen pantry the other day, doing a bit of a clean out, when I found of bag of glace cherries. I must have bought them at Christmas time and just forgotten about them. I could have done a few things with them…… Eat them straight out of the bag. I used […] Read more…

This thermomix snow cake looks so pretty on any Christmas table and it really does make the most perfect afternoon tea on the […] Read more…
I was in Aldi the other day and they had frozen prawns on special offer. I LOVE prawns, so I stocked up and bought 4 bags to chuck in the freezer. Luckily we all love prawns in our house (apart from Mr D, but we’re converting him slowly). So, as we have a freezer full […] Read more…
