September round-up

My, don’t the days go quick!? I had fully intended for this to be written and published by at least the 2nd of October, but somehow we are on the 6th already! September was a busy and slightly emotional month, what with Mabel starting school and turning 5! Despite that I did manage to squeeze…… Continue reading September round-up

Mini Egg Shortbread

I hope you all had a lovely Easter, I had planned to have this post published over the Easter weekend, unfortunately I didn’t quite have the time in the end.

Mini Egg Rocky Road

I think it might be time for something sweet! It’s been so long since I last shared a recipe and as Easter is approaching it seems like the perfect time. I warn you though this is not suitable for any diabetics out there, it is very sweet! You may remember I had to go on a dairy free…… Continue reading Mini Egg Rocky Road

Happy New Year!

When I re-started this blog I promised myself I wouldn’t put pressure on blogging or apologise for the length of time between each post, but really, I am sorry it’s been so long since my last post! Life with a 15 month old has been pretty hectic there is barely any time to sit down…… Continue reading Happy New Year!

Christmas Cake

For the last few years I always say I would bake a Christmas cake but for one reason or another I left it too late or never got round to making it. This year with Mabel being a bit older I really want to start some Christmas traditions with her, and not forgetting my husband loves…… Continue reading Christmas Cake

It didn’t leave me much time for what I love doing dance, making and blogging. I received my annual report from WordPress a couple of days ago and…… Continue reading Hello 2015 {Updated}

Mincemeat Crumble Squares

If you fancy something a little different to a mince pie but still want a little Christmassy treat, then these are perfect. I adapted the recipe from my raspberry crumble square recipe. This is such a super simple treat to make all the taste of a mince pie with no pastry making in sight! You will need: 1…… Continue reading Mincemeat Crumble Squares

German Stollen Bread

I love Stollen but have always bought it in the past, so this year I thought I would have a go at making my own! I do love making bread but it can be so time consuming to make and normally I decide too late in the day to make it and have to resolve…… Continue reading German Stollen Bread

Anzac Biscuits

I have very early memories of these biscuits, my Grandma used to make them for me as child and they were one of my favourites. Sadly I was never able to get a copy of the recipe before she passed, and I have spent many years trying to recreate them with not a lot of success.…… Continue reading Anzac Biscuits

Malteser Custard Creams

What’s better than a Custard Cream? A Custard Cream that tastes like Maltesers ! I came across a recipe for malted custard creams and knew I had to adapt it to make it chocolatey. And although biscuits can be a little bit faffy to make at times, its so worth it once your sat with a…… Continue reading Malteser Custard Creams
