Spring ‘Green’ soup recipe
I am trying to have soup once a week to help keep the food budget down. It is also a good excuse to come up with different soup recipes. With Spring here and the lovely spring greens in the shop I thought I would mix them with other goodies and fresh herbs to make a rather lovely fresh tasting Spring soup recipe. As with all soups this is the basic recipe. Nice swaps or additions would … Read entire article »

Blueberry and lemon drizzle cake
Lemon drizzle cake and blueberry muffins are both things that go down very well here. With lemon and blueberry being perfect partners I thought the mix of the two would be perfect and dare I say it, it was! This makes a good-sized loaf using a 2lb tin but it also freezes nicely so you can cut into slices and wrap in greaseproof paper then store either in a freezer bag or my preferred option in … Read entire article »

Cherries and Comic relief go hand in hand when it comes to cake raising funds and I think the squares look so temping that asking for a £1 donation would be a bargain don’t you? To … Read entire article »

Blackberry & Apple Muffin Cake
Blackberry and apple muffin cake with streusel topping This year blackberries here have been a bit of a wash out so what better way to use a couple of handfuls in, than in a cake. I quite often make muffins instead of cakes as being gluten free they are a bit more forgiving! For a change and extra treat I added a streusel topping which I have to confess sent this cake to another level! This … Read entire article »

Nutella Cupcakes
I am never really sure whether to call things cupcakes, muffins or fairy cakes. Cupcakes sounds a bit more fancy, fairy cakes a bit twee and muffins well they are just different aren’t they? I came up with this recipe at the weekend. Usually when adding cocoa to cake you minus that amount from the flour. As you can see in the recipe I didn’t and it made with the addition of ground almonds a … Read entire article »
