Small Batch Granola recipe I am going through one of my spells of not knowing what the hell to eat. I’m all out of sorts; the second lockdown has buggered my new found new normal routines. I’m back to replacing breakfast with a pint of coffee and eating lunch at 3pm. The boys seem to…
Giant Peanut Butter Cup recipe This year I fear Hallowe’en may be a bit of a damp squib. Even though my boys are now men, I still like to carve a pumpkin and hand out all the sweets. To keep things Covid safe, I will still leave a cauldron of sweets out for the little…
Nutella Fridge Porridge Recipe Breakfast and I have got a bit of previous. I am woeful at eating anything before about 11am, so quite often bypass the most important meal of the day completely. I love a bowl of granola, but often have that for lunch, more due to laziness than any diet fad. Fridge…
Peanut Butter Houmous Recipe Ooh, the sun’s back for at least a couple of days this week. Which can only mean one thing; socially distant drinks in the garden are back on. That said, we did spend a good portion of last week in friends gardens drinking far too much rosé and eating more than…
Brown Sugar Banana Scones recipe Day 100 of lockdown and I’m still baking. The Banana Bread frenzy has been and gone and I have the weight gain to prove it. But, as always, I still have at least a ton of brown bananas in my freezer/fruit bowl. Quite often recipes made to use up your…
Ricotta Doughnuts Recipe I bloody love a doughnut. This could stem from a childhood spent eating the hot ones, freshly fried, from the end of Eastbourne Pier, or could just be because I’m a bit of a pig. What’s not to like about hot, fried dough, sprinkled in sugar? Well, the what’s not to like…
Pecan Pie Bars Recipe Lucy Loves is turning into a blog mainly featuring tray bakes. And I don’t even care. A tray bake is everyone’s friend when it come to feeding a crowd or just satisfying hungry family members. These Pecan Pie Bars are making an appearance this week to coincide with all things Thanksgiving….
Marzipan Cookie Bar Recipe Cookie bars are my kryptonite. I love making them, I love eating them and I love finding new ones to make and eat. They rock in so many ways and here comes a list a) they are usually one bowl affairs, although for this recipe you’ll have to wash it up…
Challah Bread Recipe I’ve always loved Challah bread never really knowing it was a such an iconic Jewish loaf. When Clyde and I first moved in together, before such times when carbs were deemed unfashionable, we pretty much lived on bread, and I would always treat us to a loaf of Challah which was randomly…
And just like that, the summer holidays are over and my house is quieter. Ben’s gone back to uni, George is, so far, throwing himself into sixth form life and my fridge is taking slightly less of a daily battering. I’m feeling a little flat, as I always do when normality resumes, so I thought…
