We love Christmas, especially with all the festive cooking and treats you can make and also buy if you don't have time. And if you want to stick to plan you totally can, you just need the willpower to do it, easier said than done though isn't it? Anywho I have made our own cranberry … Continue reading Cranberry & Port Sauce…
Cake and biscuit? Our two favourite things to have alongside a cuppa, and this cake incorporates them both into one. Yummy. Adding biscuits into a cake adds texture as well as flavour, plus it feels super naughty whilst eating it. We used the coconut oreo thins in this recipe because they are just delicous and … Continue reading Coconut Oreo Marbled Loaf Cake…
A fluffy sponge with a sticky sweet topping, whats not to love? We had some oranges that needed eating up and was not all that nice to eat so knew they would be perfect to bake a cake with. You could use apples, pears or even pineapple instead, grapefruit and lemons aswell all work nice … Continue reading Upside Down Orange Loaf Cake…

Now normally I chuck things in and then forget what on earth I put in, so I have made sure I have a pad of … Continue reading Bacon & Bean Hotpot with Cheese Croutons…
Winter is coming and the comfort meals are making an appearance. These types of meals are great for batch cooking and also for leftovers for lunches at work. Casseroles are a great way to get lots of speed foods into your meals during the winter when we just don't fancy salads. There are loads of … Continue reading Fruity Pork Casserole…
Comfort food, you can't beat it in the winter. Sitting in front of the fire while tucking into something hearty and warming, makes you feel all cosy and fussy inside. You can chuck any vegetables in here that you like, its a great way to use up any bits and bobs lying around. You can … Continue reading Beef Casserole with Cheese Dumplings…
Cookies, I love a nice oat cookie especially the ones you get with mixed fruit in or the ones dipped in chocolate that you get around Christmas time in the selection boxes. Mmmm. Now there are lots of cookie recipes floating around the internet and social media but 99% of them are basically a baked … Continue reading Oat Cookies…
A perfect little treat to have with an afternoon cuppa.
