I’m here today to share one of my all-time favourite (not to mention easiest) dinners. It’s the perfect thing to have when you’re in a ‘I should be healthier’ phase, want something quick and easy or just want something full of flavour. Honestly this meal ticks quite a few boxes, plus it’s one that can… Read more »

In the Kitchen: Rice Krispy Treats (with a Twist)
My love for rice krispy treats is fairly self-explanatory. After all what’s not to love about a food item made of caramel, marshmallow and rice krispies and that involves zero baking? You’d have to be stupid not to love them wouldn’t you? I must have eaten hundreds of these things in my life as they… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Must Make Recipes of 2015
I’m a hoarder, there I admit it. I hoard all sorts of things, including recipes. Despite the wonder that is Pinterest, where I have pinned a combined total of 1277 savoury and sweet recipes, I still email myself new recipes on a regular basis. At last count I had 120 emails in my ‘recipes’ folder,… Read more »
In the Kitchen: The Utlimate Comfort Food – Broccoli and Cauliflower Cheese
Do you have an ultimate comfort food? I do. In fact I have two that vie for the title. The two contenders are macaroni cheese with lashings of cheese sauce and homemade chicken and ham pie. Either of these is my go to cheer-me-up-now food. Or at least they were until about two weeks ago…. Read more »
In the Kitchen: Mug Cakes
So hands up if you got the best Christmas present ever? No you’re all wrong, I most definitely win hands down. As I got this awesome recipe book. A book all about mug cakes. Um, amazing! I’ve been a fan of mug cakes for ages, but I’ve always stuck to bog standard chocolate mug… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Granola
Synonymous with the start of a New Year is cutting out all the bad foods from your life. So instead of that 600 calorie sandwich you eat a healthy salad or switch a hot chocolate with whipped cream for a skinny latte, or better yet the Americano. Hands up if you’re making those sots of changes right now? I’m… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Oaty Fruit Crumble
Last weekend I had no concrete plans and as a result ended up having the most productive weekend I’ve had for a very long time. Don’t you just love it when that happens? There was present making (more to come on that post-Christmas but I’m super pleased), runs, house stuff, Christmas films galore and decorations… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Festive Gingerbread Biscuits
Since mid November my work colleagues have been begging me to make them Christmas Gingerbread biscuits. Over the last 5+ years it’s become an office tradition for me to supply the team with snappy gingerbread creations to nibble on through the Christmas weeks. I’m a huge gingerbread lover so I am always more than happy… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Cheesy Pastry Apple Pie
A few weeks ago I was intrigued by the lovely Char’s post about an apple pie recipe. I know what you’re thinking, what’s so special about apple pie? After all it’s a standard recipe, especially in the autumn as things are getting cooler and darker. Well the special thing is the pastry on Char’s pie included cheese…. Read more »
In the Kitchen: One Giant Cookie
Did anyone else do that classic Halloween thing of stocking up on loads of snack size treats this weekend and then get left with it all as they had zero trick or treaters? That can’t just have been what happened to me, can it? On Sunday I made it my task to use up all… Read more »
