The Christmas countdown has started, and these sausage based nibbles are a great place to begin.i Time is now of the essence and this time next week your Christmas preparations will have reached a new and frenzied level. I have all but finished my shopping, Clyde is on wrapping duty as we speak and I…
Not everyone loves the traditional Christmas pudding, I can assure you they will love this. We are fully immersed in the Christmas thing now, so let’s just go with it. I have lists of lists and online shopping deliveries are arriving on a daily basis. My sister, Mother and I are menu planning for the…
This week it’s time to start some Christmas menu planning. Ok so now it’s December, I feel we can fully embrace the Christmas business and start getting some decent festive recipes under our belt. George’s birthday is at the end of November so I feel it’s wrong to focus on anything Yule related until after…
Sometimes only a large bowl of pasta and meatballs will do. As a family, we love a meatball supper. Meatballs feature at least once a week for us, so finding a new and exciting recipe for the aforementioned balls, is cooking gold. I will be honest with you, I didn’t really feel like cooking today…
November calls for comfort food, and lots of it. Now winter’s here I spend a lot of time thinking about what I would like to eat. And it’s mostly stodge. I have a standard list of staple family supper dishes and this Toad in the Hole appears regularly between November and April *or June if…
Hallowe’en’s not even over yet, but let’s move on to the next big date in the winter diary. It’s a busy time of year for outdoor celebrations. The Hallowe’en masks aren’t even off yet and already I’m turning my attention to the 5th of November activities. I love Bonfire Night, for me it’s the start…
It’s Hallowe’en next, so plan ahead with something other than sweets and chocolate to eat. It’s nearly Hallowe’en, well a week or so away, so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and post this brilliant Corndog Muffins recipe.Hallowe’en is such an American phenomenon, so what better food to enjoy than these quintessentially US…
This week, I have been reviewing some coffee pods. So I decided to cook with them, as well as drinking them. When I was offered some wonderful coffee pods to review from Real Coffee I leapt at the chance. Coffee is one of my passions, along with 80s films, pink roses and Salad Cream, so having…
This crispy coated pork makes a tasty alternative to the super popular Katsu Chicken. As a family we love anything breaded. I fear I would eat a rat if it had been egg and breadcrumbed and fried *and probably have at dubious chicken outlets*. There’s something so tasty about the crisp crumb and it always…
It’s feeling a little nippy, time for snuggy comfort food and for time in your kitchen baking. When it comes to Marmite I am certainly in the love it camp. This does cause a problem, however, whilst I am trying to lay off the bread, as there is no receptacle for this truly British savoury…
