It’s that time of year again. A time for reflection and a time to sit back and enjoy ourselves with our loved ones. But it’s also an incredibly busy and somewhat stressful time too, let’s be honest! I truly do love Christmas. I love the decorations, the movies, and of course the food. I also…

My Daughter’s 3rd Birthday Cake
My daughter turned 3 a couple of weeks ago (where on earth did those 3 years go?) and I was determined to make her a cake, despite the fact I was drowning in work and social activities. For those of you who saw my cake last year, you will know that I love baking but…
Diwali Biscuits
Happy Diwali to all that are celebrating this year 🙂 Making biscuits for Diwali is one of our family traditions. Whilst it may not be something you associate with Diwali, it’s something we always made alongside all the spicy snacks and sweet treats. My Mum and I would make biscuits every year and hand them…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Happy Halloween everyone! Now although this is not exactly a spooky Halloween post, it’s inspired by the flavours that everyone is enjoying at the moment. Isn’t Autumn just beautiful? Look at these gorgeous leaves we found around our house. I just love the colours. What is Pumpkin Spice? I started to see pumpkin spice everywhere…
Birthday Cake!
Did somebody say cake? It was my daughters 2nd birthday yesterday. Two years have flown past. I know everybody says they grow up quick but gosh I didn’t realise it was this quick. My little one is now the boss of the house. From the moment we wake up it’s all go, hopping from one…
Blackberry and Chocolate Soufflé
I realise I am a bit late to the blackberry party but I made this last week and was feeling rather chuffed with myself. You hear the word soufflĂ© and most people (unless you are a whizz kid in the kitchen) shudder at the thought. This is what happened to me not so long ago….
Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins
I love to bake but sometimes I think my waistline could do without it. There’s nothing wrong with a little cake, but if I can make it a little lighter I will. I’m not a huge fan of over complicated recipes that ask for strange ingredients to make it healthier. Also I’m a little bored…
Coconut, Raspberry and Hazelnut Brownies
I absolutely love to bake. There’s something very special about mixing a few ingredients, popping it in the oven and seeing it transform into something warm and delicious. I used to bake a lot but recently struggle to find the time to do so. I have been attending lots of weddings and have been eating…
Sausage Pizza
Did anyone catch Jamie Oliver’s Keep Cooking Family Favourites this week? He made this amazing Sausage Pizza and I just had to try it! It was a quick pizza with a sun-dried tomato pesto base, topped with sausage meatballs, mozzarella, red onions, pine nuts, rosemary and wait for it…grapes! Yes I know I was shocked…
Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni
Sometimes its nice to make something that’s a little more special. Whether its for your other half or you just feel like treating yourself (why not?), this is a great recipe to adapt. There are so many recipes out there so feel free to put your own spin on it, but this is how I…
