A key recipe for comfort on cooler days. It might be July, but the weather certainly isn’t what you’d expect for summer! At just 15°C this morning, with strong winds and a soggy start thanks to the overnight downpours, it definitely feels more like an autumn day. That said, the garden is loving it, and I’m sure the allotment is…
Is it time to slow down? This week has been a bit crazy! You know life gets like that sometimes right! First, the weather couldn’t decide if it was still baking hot (come on, 25c in the UK is hot)! or if there was suddenly going to be an almighty downpour. I actually got stuck in the greenhouse as it…
When it’s too hot to even think about cooking! There’s been very little actual cooking in the house this week! The barbecue has made a few appearances, but most meals have been centred around salad. If you’re in the UK, you’ll likely have experienced some of the hottest weather we’ve seen in a while – so much so, I’ve been…
Easy Summer fun recipe! I hope you’ve all had a great week so far – the weekend is nearly here, and with temperatures soaring across the UK this week (yes, over 27°C and climbing!), it’s safe to say we’re all looking for ways to stay cool. What better way than with a bowl of fruity, refreshing, homemade nice-cream? If you…
Crisp, fresh, full of flavour – with a little sweet surprise! This recipe was created when the weather was a bit sunnier! That said, there’s no reason why the weather should really make a difference to this dish! Rather than have it as a main, you could use it as one of many sides – especially if you’re trying to…
Baking up simple, tasty treats for any occasion! Who knew there was a whole day dedicated to biscuits?! Well, apparently today – Thursday 29th May is National Biscuit Day – and I, for one, am here for it! Whether you’re a dunker, a nibbler, or a full-on biscuit enthusiast, today is the perfect excuse to treat yourself (as if we…
Simple ideas, better choices. This week has been non-stop. You know the kind – full of coordinating, planning, sorting things for everyone else… and hardly a second for yourself. So heading into yet another bank holiday (which probably means the sunshine will vanish again!), I’ve decided it’s time to slow down, breathe, and find joy in the little things –…
Greens, beans & goodness. This week, I’ve actually managed to spend a bit of time on me, and I hope you’ve been able to sneak in some self-care too? With the warmer weather making a (slightly unexpected) return, it’s the perfect excuse to slow down, soak up some sunshine, and look after ourselves a little. I’ve even been out in…
Your new go-to midweek meal Well… I did say the weather wouldn’t last until the Bank Holiday, after that sudden glorious weather! We’ve now plunged right back into chilly temperatures – from 27°c down to 11°c, and even as low as 4°c overnight here! I hope you managed to enjoy a bit of sunshine while it lasted. This week has…
