I’ve decided to try out some new slow cooker recipes, so this week I’m going a bit experimental with our dinners. I’m expecting a few meals which aren’t that great and hoping for a few which will be little gems that we discover. I get a lot of my inspiration from Pinterest, so I hopped

I love cooking, but there are days when I just need something I can throw in the oven and leave it to cook itself. Days when I really don’t have the energy to cook but know it’s even more important that I have a healthy dinner at that point. Know what I mean? This recipe

I’ve been properly wheat free for about 5 years now and in all that time I’ve yet to fully master the art of a decent bread. I’ll be honest it isn’t something I’ve spent much time on, but I probably should! Ask me to bake crumpets or pitta wheat free and I’ll rustle them up…

We’ve just returned from a wonderful holiday in France. Imagine staying in a beautiful farmhouse, being cooked amazing food daily, rural runs and enjoying wine, cheese and good company for a week. Sound perfect? It was. Our friends run “New Community La Vay” in Maisoncelles la Jourdan, Vire. A tiny village I had been to

So this weekend I played around with making pizza pinwheels which have promptly been names pizza rolls by Miss K. Her initial comment was “Mummy what’s this”

Some very kind friends had Miss K to play the other day. When she came back one of the main things she was full of was food and descriptions of food. I’ve created a foodie! One of her descriptions reminded me of how I’ve not made savoury scones for so, so long and how

Risotto, it’s a staple in our house. I love the way you can reinvent it each time you make it. Weaning baby 2 has also remined me how it’s completely suitable for everyone in the family. He has been loving risotto from his first taste of it at 6 months old. So if you want
