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…
I was having a cup of tea and a biscuit the other day with my neighbour and I discovered that she has never ever made her own chocolate chip cookies. She didn’t believe me when I told her how simple they were, so I decided to blog my recipe just to prove it. I make these cookies […] Read more…
This recipe is originally from Nigella, so you know it’s going to be a good one right. I saw it here the other day when I was reading the Daily Mail online (yes, I still read the British papers). It looked too good not to try, especially as my family are HUGE mac and cheese […] Read more…
I make these no bake granola bars as much for me as I do for the kids. I often pop one or two in a little zip lock bag in my handbag for me to eat when I’m out and about. They’re nice and healthy and stop me from buying something to snack on when […] Read more…

With Christmas just around the corner, I love baking even more. I don’t know why? I kind of get swept up the spirit of it all and get all Nigella-ish in the kitchen. These loaded thermomix Christmas cookies are so simple to make you could do them with your eyes closed. They are also so […] Read more…
I don’t normally start thinking about Christmas until after Josh’s birthday which at the end of October, so I’m feeling a little bit smug that I’ve got one in early this year. 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…
Hello, Yes I’m still here! It’s been a while since I’ve been on my blog, but life has just very inconveniently got in my way recently. After what felt like weeks of the flu sweeping through our household, I was just getting my head above water when Lex-Rose came down with a confirmed case of the chicken […] Read more…
