My Food category contains recipes, food ideas, food reviews, some restaurant reviews too. I love to use the slow cooker, as well as creating meals from scratch.
So I probably win the award for the latest post about the most amazing Thursday night I’ve had in a long time, the #AsdaMeatup a few weeks back to celebrate National Burger Day with a BBQ courtesy of Asda. A big yellow bus (okay, two as there were so many of us) chugged us all… Read More
I first tasted Horlicks when I was around five, and was staying at my Granny’s up in Cambridgeshire, and it’s one of the earliest memories I have of spending time with her (along with watching her clip her suspenders into her suspender belt and wondering why she didn’t wear tights like my mum!) She used… Read More
Sam and I will probably not be having a proper date night out for a few months yet, due to his new job and a small baby, not to mention a toddler! However the toddler goes to bed at bang on seven and stays there for 12 hours and the baby is now starting to… Read More

A couple of weeks ago I was sent a lovely parcel from Creative Tops with some items from their Retro Treats range, a 50’s inspired range of dessert-type goodies! Think American diner and you’ll not be far off! I have been happily making good use of them since they arrived and today I am sharing… Read More
I like tea. Quite a lot in fact, I have a whole shelf in one of my kitchen cupboards devoted to various teas (and hot chocolates). I rarely get to drink a whole mug whilst it is still hot during the day due to an increasingly speedy and exploring baby. Once she’s in bed I… Read More
Although I had a birthday dinner planned for Saturday night I wanted to have lunch with Sam and Athena on my actual birthday. The Argus are currently running their amazing dine for £10 offer, so we had a browse through the booklet and picked Coast, I called and asked to book a table for… Read More
Last week I had some GOOD burgers in Brighton. On Thursday night I had dinner with my friend Nick at the New Club (at the bottom of Preston Street) I’d heard rave reviews when it opened but then forgot all about it. I also wasn’t sure if it was baby friendly but it… Read More
