Something a bit different from me today – instead of an easy recipe I’m going to share my thoughts. My health is something that’s been on my mind for a while now but I don’t think I can bury my head in the sand any more, I need to make some changes for the mine and … Continue reading I’m getting healthy
I love it when a thrown together meal works out really well. I cooked this because I had some pastry and vegetables that needed using up but as it’s quick and tasty I’ll definitely be making it again. I made three pasties with this recipe, although there was enough veg to fill four. I bought … Continue reading Tamarind spiced vegetable pasty
It’s the middle of March, the daffodils are out and there is some warmth to the sun (when it isn’t hiding behind clouds). I was just starting to believe that spring was on its way when the Beast from the East made a come back and we’re forecast 20cm of snow for this weekend 😣. One … Continue reading Bread and butter pudding
Those of you who were impressed with the lack of refined sugar in my apple and honey muffins might want to look away now 😊. I love trawling through Pinterest for inspiration. When I was looking at food on there one day a recipe for yoghurt cake caught my eye. I like cake and yoghurt but would … Continue reading Yoghurt cake (with sprinkles)

I’m still quite new to this and have been wondering recently whether I’ve really got the time to carry on with this blog. It means so much that you’ve all thought of me when writing … Continue reading The Sunshine Blogger Award
This is the easiest (and tastiest) macaroni cheese recipe I know, and I’ve tried a few over the years! Nigella Lawson is known for her rich, sumptuous recipes and this is no exception. Before I started this blog I was in a huge rut as far as weekday meals were concerned, I was making this … Continue reading Nigella’s macaroni cheese
This fudge is a real treat – creamy white chocolate and smooth condensed milk are combined with butter for an extra rich taste. Top it off with your favourite decoration and it will look as good as it tastes. Not long after I started this blog I shared a recipe for chocolate fudge. I made this … Continue reading White chocolate fudge
This is a meat free meal with a kick. The beans provide plenty of protein and its packed full of vegetables too. I’ve been looking through my latest posts and realised how long its been since I posted a full on main meal – I do cook normal meals, honest! This weekend I made a … Continue reading Chilli non-carne
These were a regular in our house growing up. They’re quick and easy to make and delicious, especially when eaten still warm from the pan. Most people know these as Welsh cakes but in Wales we call them bakestones because they used to be cooked on a slab of stone (slate) that had been heated … Continue reading Welsh cakes (Bakestones)
