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.

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.

Hands up if you’re making those sots of changes right now? I’m… 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.

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 »

I’m just going to put it out there and say that this recipe for macaroni cheese is the best recipe you will ever find. I’m not even slightly kidding, this is PHENOMENALLY good and just perfect for the upcoming cooler evenings and lazy Sundays on the sofa (that’s not just me right?). Growing up we weren’t… Read more »
