Cherry Bakewell Blondies recipe This year, Mother’s Day, like most other celebrations, will be a bit different. So many people have not seen their families for so long, this day meant for cherishing Mother figures will have to be from afar. These Cherry Bakewell Blondies were made with a) my stomach and b) postability in…
Red Velvet Mug Cake recipe I have never been a Valentine’s Day kind of girl. Not since Clyde bought me 9 red roses for the 9 weeks we’d been together in 1986 then dumped me. 35 years later, I’m not bearing a grudge *much* but just feel Valentine’s is all a bit rubbish. This year…
Pikelets recipe I have been meaning to make crumpets for years. I have been put off, however, by a friend who once told me they got into such a mess with the dough sticking to the rings, I just couldn’t face it. However, whilst searching for some sort of Scottish griddle cake to make for…
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…

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….
