I made apple butter today. I had a few apples left over from the crop we got this year, other half had gone and rescued them from the tree. I figured as they weren’t good enough for straight eating I’d make something. I had made apple butter last year and it was a big hit, …
It has been an eternity since I posted one of my recipes. I have still baked, but a lot of the time I have repeated recipes and there’s no need to repost the same thing. Today, I have created a recipe. You won’t find this anywhere on the internet, this is totally new, just for …
What is interesting for me this past week is with regard to food I have been taken outside my comfort zone. I am one for eating wholesome foods usually, I am a cook and a baker, not by profession but I make everything from scratch.
My daughter Sol will be 13 on Saturday. THIRTEEN, when did that happen? I scroll back through my ten year old kooky website and I look at the photos of her as a toddler. We have photographs dotted around the house of her as a baby and she has come a long way. Oh my …
I guess I have been kind of lucky this week with regard to receiving gifts. I am no means materialistic, but it is nice to receive. First off I got my new camera last week as an advance birthday gift, I haven’t actually had much of a chance to use it yet unfortunately. I’ve just …
There have been all sorts of things happening this past week. Other half’s birthday was probably the biggest event of the week. He turned 56, he is going to get me for sharing that information 🤣😂. We even got candles with the numbers on them for his cake, just to make sure that it didn’t …
I made chocolate muffins this week. They actually were super rich and chocolatey and truthfully probably a bit much to eat in one sitting. I found that cutting one in half was just a perfect amount for me. Ingredients 250g self raising flour (8.8oz) 175ml milk. (6.2oz) 2 large eggs 100ml olive oil (3.5oz) 70g …
So fattening but delicious, I made these for the coffee morning and again just last week. The trouble about these is that they don’t last very long, the whole family just swoop in and eat them. Ingredients 3 multipacks of mars bars. 12 bars in total, they are 39g per bar. 250g of butter 3 …
It’s the big day for Sol. We are heading out shortly to do the first recording for the TV animation show that she will be acting in. I couldn’t go without saying “hello” to everyone and of course I want to publicly wish Sol good luck. She’s a special girl. (Like all of my children), …
Well we did it! Got to the end of Saturday and survived. After my last update there was so much happening. The children, well two of them, had their final GCSE exam. They were studying physics, it’s over now much to their delight. I told them if they pass good they don’t have to study …
