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 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.

This being our second baby I’ve been a teeny, tiny bit wiser to a few things… and a bit slacker on other things! I’ve thrown out all the normal baby books for one and let baby lead the way, so much easier, he naturally showed me his routine. I also bypassed the puree route and

Curry, on chilly days there is nothing like it to warm your bones. This is a mild, family friendly version that my kids loved. We have a jar of chilli that sits on our table so the adults can zing it up if they want to. Being half Sri-Lankan, curry has to feature in our
