If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m all about a weekend breakfast or brunch, featuring eggs, pancakes, waffles – you name it! I’ve always found it more difficult to come up with weekday breakfasts which I…
Sausage Pasta Bake with Garlic Bread
January means something different for anyone. For some it means fresh starts, healthy eating and new resolutions. For others it means comfort food, warm clothing and a lot of time spent on the sofa – I’m definitely the latter this…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
The lockdown baking has started up again! This time with these gluten free chocolate chip cookie bars. They are packed with milk chocolate chips, while maintaining the gooey texture and sweet flavour of a classic cookie. This recipe is very…
Gingerbread Cupcakes
Just before Christmas I made a huge batch of Gingerbread Men using my foolproof recipe linked here. The recipe makes so many biscuits so I thought I’d use them to top a new, Christmassy cupcake. The recipe below makes 12…
Crisp & Fluffy Roast Potatoes
It’s almost New Year! Despite all the negativity in 2020, it’s still been a lovely Christmas, with all the usual festivities including Christmas dinner, a glass of fizz (or two…), exchanging gifts and lots of games, even if they ended…
