Review: JUST EAT
One rule we have in our family is that we sit down and eat together as often as possible – every meal at the weekend and as many times during the week as we can. As with all families, we have a hectic schedule with numerous after school clubs, parties and irregular working hours, but...
Mission:Explore Food
Every so often I get a book to review that is totally up my street, and Mission:Explore Food is that book! Not only did I get excited about it, but when I showed it to the children they loved it too – and that’s especially good as it is aimed at them. The hardback book,...
Flavrbox review
When I discovered Flavrbox on twitter I was really excited – really, properly excited! So I was beyond excited when they asked if I’d like to try one of their boxes. For those of you who haven’t heard of them, Flavrbox put together a monthly tasting box containing products from some fabulous UK producers, which...
My first trip to Borough Market
I’ve been wanting to visit Borough Market for ages, but every time I’m up in London I seem to run out of time or be rushing to get back home. So when Dale took me to London last weekend as a belated Christmas present we decided that we’d definitely plan it into our schedule. We...
Cologne Christmas Markets – Highlights and Giveaway
Following on from my mammoth post about our trip to the Christmas Markets in Cologne courtesy of Germanwings and 9Flats.com, I thought I’d share some of our highlights and I have a great giveaway too. Food It will probably come as no surprise to you that one of the first things I was looking out...
Meal Plan – 17th Oct 2011
I haven’t done a proper meal plan for about a month now, blaming it on the fact I’ve been really busy. Of course, this is exactly the reason I should be more organised and plan my meals carefully! So I’m back on track this week with my weekly meal plan. It seems that Autumn is...
It’s true – I really am MAD!
On Friday I set off to London in the glorious sunshine for the MAD Blog Awards Ceremony. I certainly wasn’t expecting to bring back an award with me but I was looking forward to catching up with blogging buddies over a few drinks and a child-free night away in a hotel. As we arrived at...
What’s in your lunch box?
Now Grace has settled well into Year 2 and I’ve got over the shock realisation that this is her last year in Key Stage 1, I’m back into the swing of making lunch boxes for her. I really quite like the challenge of thinking up new ideas but not the panic and scramble on a...
Weekly Meal Plan – 23rd May
I really must get organised as the badge says ‘Meal Planning Monday’ but I never get round to posting mine until Tuesday every week! Last week’s plan went well, apart from the Lamb Tagine – the less said about that the better. Lets just say a combination of stringy lamb and forgetting to cover the...
Rhubarb and ginger jam
After visiting my Mum a few weeks back, I came home with 2 bags full of rhubarb! I adore rhubarb and was ridiculously excited about trying out some new recipes. First up I thought I’d make some jam by combining the rhubarb with one of my other favourite ingredients – ginger. I am a big...
I’m a MADS Finalist!
Yesterday, something very exciting happened – I found out I had made it as a finalist in the Best Family Food Blogger category of The MAD Awards! I was totally and utterly gobsmacked and completely overwhelmed. Thank you so much to everyone who nominated me – I am astounded and so grateful for your support....
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...
