Cheater Rocky Road
We had made these for our coffee morning two weeks ago. Yes, you had to wait this long to get the recipes, I am sorry but it could not be helped. I am only catching up now with the recipes which I had stored in my drafts folder. I find also this recipe freezes well, […]

Easy Ice Cream (Part 2)
If you are here please make sure you have read the Part 1 post which is posted immediately before this one. It gives the back ground for this post, however the recipe is a stand alone recipe. I had obtained a lot of cream! A long story cut short I decided to make two batches […]

The Beast From The East – Still Waiting
So the mainland is at a standstill with The Beast. England that is, they have it bad, there are flights cancelled and chaos on the roads, schools are closed and public transport seriously disrupted. But we haven’t got it yet, it is very cold though so it’s on it’s way. This is what our weather […]
MoreSlow Cooker Raspberry Ruffle Fudge
I mentioned in the other post that I had only used 1/2 the amount of ingredients for the fudge. This is what I did with the other half. This will be the last fudge post for a while as I need to get back to my regular baking and cooking, not to mention the fact […]

So far there are no photographs to share, photography during the shows was forbidden and cast photographs aren’t […]

I have been assured by all that it was indeed very acceptable and yummy. I feel that next time I will lean towards the softer chocolate coated Turkish delight rather […]

Slow Cooker Mint Oreo Fudge
A day can’t go by when there’s not some busyness in our house. The children are rehearsing like crazy for a pantomime they are in. They have a full dress rehearsal tonight and they are already exhausted with all their dancing. It’s good though, they are loving it and have done this several times before. […]
MoreOlive Oil Oat Bread
This one is a really basic recipe, it’s actually based on my regular white bread recipe with a few amendments. This makes a 2lb loaf, however I used a silicone loaf pan and it stretched out so I’m guessing you’d get away with baking this is a farmhouse 3lb tin and still have a lovely […]
