Sssh until last weekend I was a savoury muffin virgin! Why had no-one introduced me to these lovelies before? I made them on a whim. My kids are really not fans of sandwiches, in fact I’m wondering about just doing away with bread altogether in our house (my husband may have something to say about […]

You know those weeks when you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, you are feeling pretty exhausted and craving something chocolately? That’s me right now so today I created these healthy, delicious balls full of raw ingredients, goodness yet with that chocolate taste too. Inspired by the Nakd bar range, I decided it couldn’t

My ongoing obsession with flapjack has turned a corner this week. I’ve discovered a new love. Savoury flapjack. As the J boy has also inherited my flapjack loving genes, I thought it may be a good way to get his veggie love on too. It turns out it worked a treat. So if you want

We’ve just had a wonderful week away in France, where all the food was cooked for us. I love being cooked for. One of the days we had rhubarb crumble. Rhubarb is one of those fruits that I adore but don’t cook very often as the rest of the family are not as keen on

Flapjack. Literally it makes my world a happier place. However I’ve had a bit of a problem of late. The children are eating the bananas too fast and I just don’t have enough that are going bad to be able to make my signature banana and sultana flapjack. So with a glut of plums in

A lovely Pilates client turned up with a couple of healthy muffins for me the other day. Now that’s one way to make me go easy on you in class 😉 Laurie, thankyou! Peanut butter is one ingredient I’ve learnt is good in cookies and smoothies… so why “nut” muffins?! (I know funny aren’t I). These

Total madness this weekend. I planned to do a vlog with Miss K. Just as we were ready to go J-boy woke from his “not long enough but I’m teething” nap. Not impressed. I’ve learnt that cooking with 2 kids is much harder than cooking with 1. You need 6 hands. But he joined us anyway.

So this is our first vlog in a long time. It’s taken me a while to work out a time when my kitchen is not looking like a bomb has hit it, whilst also having 2 happy kids and a charged video camera. Phew. I made it. Lunches are the one meal that I really

My afternoons often consist of “Mummy my tummy’s hungry” from Miss K (age 4) and “Mor Mor” with a sign for “Eat” from J-boy (17 months). I swear the toddler boy could graze all afternoon if allowed! I’m constantly on the look out for tasty, healthy snacks for my kids. Generally I prefer to have

You remember that whole apple and peanut butter craze? If you liked that then you will love these. Don’t fret, if you are not a nut butter fan (my hubby isn’t) then I’m pretty sure you should try these too. Think apple, cinnamon, cloves, almonds, pumpkin seeds, crunchy sesame seeds and a sweet apple undertone.
