Earl Grey Fruit Loaf
I’m calling this an Earl Grey Fruit Loaf because it’s got Earl Grey and fruit in it, and its loaf shaped. There’s also no butter or fat, so it doesn’t seem to be a cake as such. You could call it a tea cake though […]

What We’re Eating Week Four
The weather has been so strange this week. When we leave for school in the morning, it’s cold and grey. We’re in big coats and I’ve got the car heater on full. Which also means that traffic is a nightmare and it’s taking us 7 […]
Apple and Caramel Crumble
Stodgy Puddings Apple crumble has got to be one of my favourite puddings. I talk all the time about how much I love big stodgy puddings with lashings of custard. I honestly don’t think there’s much better. I usually happily eat things like this all […]
Halloween Rocky Road
Halloween Humbug I must confess, I’m not really bothered by Halloween. It means we’re a step closer to Christmas, but that’s where my enthusiasm for it ends if I’m honest. When I was a kid, my parents were of the “It’s an American holiday, you’re […]
What We’re Eating Week Three
It’s been such a crazy weather week, hasn’t it? We’ve had crazy windy storms, mad rain, and 20 degrees with sunshine. I love summer, but I must admit, I’d rather proper autumn than this weird mixture. I go out in the morning in a scarf […]
Minty Double Choc Cookies
There are plenty of ways to make things minty. Mint essence and flavourings are fantastically effective, and of course actual mint is always a good call. But, when I’m baking anything chocolatey and want to add some mint, my go-to is Mint Aero Chocolate bubbles. […]
What We’re Eating Week Two
We’ve had one of those weeks where it’s felt really busy and stressful. But, we haven’t really done much. Husband worked six days the week before. We haven’t had any time off work for ages, we’ve moved to a new house and had loads to […]
Simple Sausage Pasta Bake
Sausages are probably one of my favourite foods. Honestly, a cheap and cheerful sausage and egg sandwich, sausage pasta, a big German sausage from the Christmas market, all of it. They’re easy to cook, go with everything, they’re cheap, and you can do plenty with […]
What We’re Eating Week One
Remember when I was good, and I published my meal plans every week? Well, I stopped, because I was over complicating things and trying to schedule them in advance and I found that I was getting really confused and never really knew what I’d eaten. […]
Twix Rocky Road
I love Rocky Road. Frequent readers might notice that I have a few Rocky Road recipes. I like to add all different chocolate and other bits and bobs. It’s a super easy way to combine all of your favourite things into one super sweet calorie […]
Gorgeous Lamb Kleftiko
Lamb Kleftiko is indulgent, tasty, filling, and quite simply fantastic. I’ve been to Greece a few times and it’s always been my favourite thing to eat. A big roast joint of lamb is, I guess, pretty warming and wintery. But, Greek food always reminds me […]
