Okay, it’s Wednesday – otherwise known as hump day. I think everyone deserves a treat for getting to middle of the week and what’s better than cake for breakfast? Healthy cake for breakfast! I could eat cake for all meals if it was good for me, but alas most cake isn’t. I spent quite a while perfecting this recipe though as I know there are a few microwave cake recipes out there but they…
Smoothies are something I really love on work days, I have to be out of the house by 6.15am and I walk the 25 minutes to work so something I can take with me for the journey is perfect because it means I can spend 5 minutes longer in bed if I don;t have to sit down at eat breakfast! I stick Chia seeds in a lot of things but always in smoothies, as they…
As we’re told from a young age Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, unfortunately it is the meal I have the least energy to prepare. I’m working with Arla to put together seven easy breakfast recipes to try and revive our mornings with things that are fun and different from the normal cereal or toast that I’ve come to rely on! It’s been so much fun experimenting with all their products and…
Trying to make food fun is something we tend to do a lot of at home, not only trying new foods and flavours but also getting Athena involved in the preparation too! Stuffed peppers or ‘pepper pots’ are a really fun and easy way to prepare a tasty meal that incorporates a lot of different food groups, and textures and flavours!
I am so happy that we have a larger kitchen now, it means I have the space to really focus on devising and creating meals for us to enjoy as a family, and am really focussing on making meals that I can cook and freeze in batches but that we can all help ourselves to at the table. I’ve found the key to getting a picky toddler to try more food is to give her…
These muffins are just delicious, most muffins are in fact but seeing as it’s almost halloween and Sam bought a tin of pumpkin filling at the supermarket a few months ago I thought I would try something a bit pumpkiny! I adapted my go-to muffin recipe but doubled the quantities to allow for moistness of the pumpkin filling (and lessened the oil and upped the flour slightly) and was actually quite impressed with the outcome!…
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 up the hill and out of town to a fantastic party house stuffed full pimms, burgers and a Jazz band.…
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 to bring a little mug of Horlicks to have in bed when she tucked me in and even now when…
