Also I did bake for my Mum on special occasions usually coffee and walnut cake … Read entire article »

Perfect for adding to the lunch boxes and of course perfect with a cup of tea. You can also easily switch flavours see suggestions at the end. For this really easy biscuit … Read entire article »

Baking with Pampered Chef & ginger cake recipe
Many years ago I seem to be going to Pampered Chef parties a lot. They were always fun with a strong ethos on great cooking and baking but easily achieved. Perfect just the way I like it. So when Carla asked me if I would like to try a couple of things out I was more than happy to do that. I had told her I already owned quite a few bits as after seeing the … Read entire article »
Halloween Baking idea’s
I love baking and fun baking is great to do for children and adults too, Halloween Baking is a great excuse to go slighty mad in the kitchen (something I am known to do often!!!).

Keep it Simple Lemon Cakes
As it is National Baking Week, I couldn’t not add a recipe. For me the word baking say’s ‘cakes’ and there is nothing easier to whip up than a batch of fairy cakes. There are some amazing cakes, biscuits, breads, whoopie pies, macaroons, the list is endless but a dozen of these lemon fairy cakes are what ‘National Baking Week’ is all about to me. Something to enjoy with a ‘cuppa’, something to add to a lunch … Read entire article »

Simple pleasures – Late Summer
Late Summer, well the beginning of September so I assume we can call it that! I love this time of year, but equally don’t like it as it is the beginning of another school year. Though for now, for a few more days I won’t think about that quite yet. So the simple pleasures for now has to be picking berries. From a little girl to now I have always enjoyed going out and collecting those beautiful coloured berries. Okay you might get a little bit scratched, your hands and especially nails will look a bit purple for a day or so but………. Blackberries being mine and the children’s favourite can be transformed into beautiful coloured goodies to eat. We made ‘Blackberry and Apple Muffins‘, we made ours gluten free by swapping the flour, … Read entire article »

Left overs nearly finished
Oh did I over estimate my friends appetites, mmm just a bit. But let me tell you left overs are jolly tasty and you look in the fridge and ‘Hey Presto’ there is something gorgeous and yummy to eat. Note to self 1. When inviting people around after eight most have already eaten. Note to self 2. You don’t need to provide them with more than they would eat for there lunch, dinner and supper. Note to self 3. You don’t need to spend the best part of a day and a little more to prepare. Note to self 4. Remember which mini quiches (so cute) and mini paper wrapped quiches (even cuter and no pastry) are the ones with bacon in especially when you have vegetarian guests. Note to self 5. When you lovingly make … Read entire article »
