Review: Cooking with the Nexus 7
It will come as no surprise to you that I spend quite a lot of time in the kitchen! Far too much of that time is spent baking and I have amassed quite a cookery book collection to feed my habit. But as much as I like looking through books (and yes, I often take...
Help! I hate my oven…
As you can probably guess, the oven is pretty much the most important appliance in my kitchen. It gets used every day, often several times a day. Some days it is on nearly all day. So it is such a nightmare to be saddled with an oven that I hate with a passion you can...
Sweet potato, parsnip and ginger soup
If there’s one thing I love about this colder weather, it’s making big, hearty bowls of warm soup. I am a huge fan all sorts of root vegetables but I think parsnips have to be one of my absolute favourites. I love their sweet flavour and combined with the sweet potato and spicy ginger, it...
Quick and Easy Chilli
This one of my ‘go to’ recipes when we’re in need of some speedy comfort food. It’s a bit cheaty as I use a tin of kidney beans in chilli sauce, but that does make it super easy and yummy too. We’re not hugely fond of spicy food so we don’t add much extra chilli,...
Baked fish
Firstly, I must apologies for the quality of the photo in the post – everyone was very hungry and I had to take a few quick snaps before it was gone! I can assure you though, this was much more delicious than it looks and went down very well at dinner time! The recipe is...
Weekly Meal Plan – 16th May
So last week was manic. It was the sort of week when I really should have done a clear meal, but I didn’t! We did some crazy hand-to-mouth living and I resolved to get straight back into meal planning this week to save my sanity and my budget. I have run the stock cupboard, freezer...
Review – Weight Watchers ProPoints Cookbooks
Although I’m not actually following the Weight Watchers ProPoints plan myself, I have heard some very positive things about it through friends and twitter, so I was interested to see what the cookbooks were like when I was asked to review them. I have to say I was very surprised at the range of recipes...
Philips Airfryer review
I was extremely excited when Philips, who hosted a wonderful Christmas lunch for some bloggers, asked if I’d like to try out their Airfryer. I love kitchen gadgets and am very quickly running out of room to store them all, but who could turn down this slick looking machine? As soon as it arrived we...
National Curry Week
Apparently, it is National Curry Week this week. Well, actually I’m a little late to the party because it ends today! So if you grab your stuff and head out the door now you can take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer on the Cobra website! If that is just a little short notice...
Christmas Chutney
It’s that time of year again when I start to think about and planning for Christmas. As you may have guessed, I like to make as many things as I can for Christmas presents, but being the lazy madam that I am, I usually leave it all until the last minute. This year I am...
Fruity chicken curry
Grace and I love cooking together so one day after school last week I suggested we grab some ingredients from the shop on the way home and cook up a curry. Neither Dale nor I have a great tolerance for spicy food so we are trying to introduce spicier foods to the girls from an...
Little Dish Cookbook
I adore cookbooks and have quite a few on my shelves (which were specially built to accommodate all my books!) So I was very excited when Little Dish asked if I’d like to review their Little Dish Favourites Cookbook and fresh fruit and vegetable pouches. Little Dish make all their products from 100% natural ingredients...
