Salad days! Sunny days call for salad and this one is a bit different to what I would usually make! A salad can be made with most things, but often we tend to think of it as something savoury consisting of standard ‘salad veg’. So I started with that as a base, then looked to see what else I had…
Millionaire’s Shortbread Bites! Last week I shared with you a new brownie recipe, and as I found some vegan condensed milk, this week I thought I’d add a new millionaire’s recipe. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might know that I posted a very popular raw chocolate caramel slice recipe about 6 years ago. This recipe…
Biscuit (aka cookie) Brownies! This week’s recipe is a delightful twist on my ever-popular decadent biscoff brownie recipe. If you love brownies and biscuits (aka cookies), you’re in for a treat! These easy-to-make chocolate brownies incorporate biscuits, adding a deliciously crunchy texture to the rich, fudginess of a good brownie. I used mini Oreos and chocolate Jammie Dodgers but you…
Too many ripe bananas! How has your week been? If you’re in the UK you may have noticed the weather is having trouble making its mind up this week! One minute it’s sunbathing weather, then next the wind is howling, thunder is rumbling and the rain is pouring down! So, I’m so happy that ‘No Mow May’ has finally ended…
Salad! What do you think of when you hear the word ‘salad?’ Does it remind you of the single lettuce leaf with a wedge of soggy tomato and half a slice of cucumber served on the side of a meal? Do you think of salad as something only people trying to lose weight would eat? Well, let me tell you…
Soup! I know it is supposed to be sunny and warm and summery, but when the rain comes, soup can be the perfect easy meal. This soup is my go to when I’m in need of a boost! For headaches, for fatigue, for wanting to feel healthy after eating too much cake, this soup really is for the soul! This…
Fun new recipe! This week we’re going sweet! and a bit sweeter than that! This recipe is definitely for all those sweet-tooths! It’s fun, it’s customisable, it’s colourful and it is most delicious! How did it come about? So, I was going to make a chocolate refrigerator cake and realised that as I’d planned to use the biscuits for the…
Cookie Dough! Sometimes you just need to do something different and this week that came in the form of cookie dough! I remember baking with my late Mum and being ‘allowed’ to ‘clean’ the bowl and lick the wooden spoon, and this recipe transports me back to those days. What prompted this recipe you may ask? Well, there’s a certain…
Jewelled Pilaf! Pilaf, or pilau or even pilav are not words I often use, simply because rice is not something I eat regularly! I have always been a bit cautious with rice – ever since I learnt that it’s one of the main culprits of food poisoning! So, I usually only eat if if I’ve cooked it myself and generally…
Long weekend! Whilst some of you may not have the luxury of a long weekend this week, here in the UK there are two extra days to the weekend! Good Friday (tomorrow) and Easter Monday (after the weekend). Spring is really in the air and traditionally this is the time when families get together for meals – perhaps the first…
