Just a quick one for now…. I ❤️ honey. I really do and I’m so fortunate that I can get good local honey from where my work office is in Upshire. Local bees collecting pollen from local flowers and the resulting honey travelling just 5 miles before consumption in my home. Now, tonight is Pork…

Ginger, Lemon & Honey Flapjacks
Gooey, sticky crunchy goodness. I love a flapjack. All too often when you buy a flapjack from a commercial bakers or to go with your grande, non-fat, frappa mocha, extra dry, hold the whipped, pumpkin spiced latte… they tend to be too dry or rather tasteless. Now, if you are having a major flapjack emergency…
Beetroot
For as long as I can remember I have hated beetroot. Actually not hated but detested! Whether it was fresh, boiled, pickled, in a salad or whatever. I DON’T LIKE IT! But after hearing constantly about all the benefits of beetroot, how good it is for you I thought there must be a way I…
Sausages….. Square Ones!
As some of you know I am a real foodie. I love food. Nearly all food, sadly I can no longer eat shell fish but everything else can be chopped, cooked, made with love and I’ll eat it! With that in mind and a total lack of self control I find myself back on the…
Know your Onions (& Garlic)

I love my slow cooker but we have had our fair share of disasters together. Mainly dried out chicken or meat that’s so soggy you could wrong it out! But it’s never stopped me trying. This is a deliciously spicy dish that’s slimming world friendly. If you are not following slimming world it’s less fiddly…
Perfectly Poached
I ❤️ poached eggs! You either love runny yolks or it turns your stomach. I don’t particularly like soft whites so to get that perfect marriage of set white and creamy runny yolk takes a little time and practice. I have found the best way is to poach in a small saucepan. Boil the kettle…
Pineapple
I love pineapple… fresh, sweet & juicy. Did you know Basil goes really well with pineapple for a dessert that is fragrant and delicious. It’s so simple Peel, core and chop a pineapple, take the rind and juice of 1 lemon, chop 5-6 leaves of fresh basil and combine them all in a dish. Cover…
It’s Been a Long Time
But I am back….. A lot has happened since my last post on here, but before I delve into all the nitty gritty, I would like to thank everyone who has continued to log onto the site waiting for a new post, for all the emails, for all the twitter peeps who continue to follow…
