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 đŁ. 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 đ. 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)
It is fair to say that Mr Cooking with kids isn’t the family cook. He does make a mean chocolate muffin, though, and these apple and honey muffins are adapted from his recipe. For the last few months we’ve kept our fruit bowl on the dining table to encourage the kids to eat fruit. The … Continue reading Apple and honey muffins
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

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)

We also agreed that there were lots of other fruit and veg that would taste great as crisps so we’ve been trying them out over the last few … Continue reading Healthy snacks – fruit and veg crisps
In India Tiffin is a small meal or snack but in the UK it is a chocolatey-biscuity no bake cake. We decided to make bite sized versions today though, with a bit of tweaking to our usual recipe. The children had so much fun crushing biscuits for our easy lime and ginger cheesecake recently that I wanted … Continue reading Tiffin bites
Loaf cake is fast becoming a favourite of mine – its depth means you really get to enjoy the texture (and taste) and while I’ve had my fair share of disasters with cake in a sandwich tin (think the incredible shrinking cake) my loaf cakes always turn out well. I wanted to make a chocolate … Continue reading Chocolate chip loaf cake
Lime and ginger compliment each other perfectly and cheesecake is always a winner in our house (although hubby prefers chocolate flavour… that’s a recipe for another day!). This cheesecake is very easy, it only has five ingredients and both the base and topping are quick to make. The kids were happy to get involved in … Continue reading Easy lime and ginger cheesecake
I bought a pack of orange flavour Matchmakers for Christmas and then forgot about them (I don’t know how that happened!). When I found them again the kids had been asking to do some cooking and I thought that would taste good in cookies instead of chocolate chips Continue reading Matchmaker chocolate orange cookies
