Before we start I have to admit I have never seen the fuss with Nando’s! (I know I know, let the hate begin) Maybe it is because I don’t live near enough to a restaurant to make it “a thing” or maybe out of principle of not wanting to be a “cheeky Nando’s” – er – […] Read more…
Let’s be honest all I want to do is stuff my face all day everyday! and since I don’t have the metabolism for that (I have tried I swear) I have to enable myself in other ways! I have to say I have been eating healthier recently and I did a great round-up of Healthy […] Read more…
One of my favourite things at the moment is quinoa! If you don’t know what that is, it is a grain-like seed that is full of protein so it is also great for vegetarians! It is very diverse which means you can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner (or maybe even dessert) AND it’s good […] Read more…

We were all in the mood for something sweet, chocolate-y and very tasty last weekend so here was invented the chocolatey-est and yummy-est (both official verdicts) of our cupcake recipes yet. We’ve called them rocky road because of the toppings but they could also be named yummy yummy chocolate or “can I have another” cupcakes! […] Read more…
I think these midnight cookies have finally perfected my cookie making! (fingers crossed) I have to say I always have trouble getting the dough right so that they flatten properly but still stay gooey in the center, but I think i’ve finally finally cracked it! (much to my son and husband’s approval – although they […] Read more…
Winter is upon us! and I am feeling constantly cold this season. This recipe is just what the doctor ordered to get you all warm from the inside! I am really into discovering recipes right now so It was SO great that Gina was willing to share this one! it is Gina’s take on a Japanese […] Read more…
