Inspired by all the rainbow images in peoples windows as I take my daily walk, I decided to whip up a batch of simple cupcakes. The recipe is an easy one but I pimped it up slightly with a handful of brightly coloured rainbow sprinkles. The rainbow sprinkles when folded into the cake batter createRead more
These flatbread frying pan pizzas have been a godsend in lockdown and enjoyed time and time again. They are so good! I really had no idea how they would turn out but to my surprise, they turned out more than fine. I thought they were a triumph. Steve even said they were “better than PizzaRead more
Easter is likely to be a strange one this year. Normally a day when families come together to celebrate, eat delicious food and head on out for a walk possibly culminating in a trip to the pub for a drinkie. With our Prime Minister Boris Johnson indicating the lockdown in the United Kingdom is likelyRead more
Last Tuesday, the 17th March, was St Patrick’s day. Blink and you probably missed it. I celebrated with family before we all got separated and stuck in our own homes in different towns and villages.

This cake has been adapted from a recipe I stumbled across by Skye McAlpin. A beautifully easy recipe that feels incredibly festive for this time of year but would work perfectly at any time. I made it for my Christmas Eve celebrations with the leftovers nibbled alongside coffee on Christmas morning. Then gain on NewRead more
Happy midwinter everyone! I always seem to be a bit delayed with posts of late. Life seems to get in the way of writing but I thought I would share a few photographs from my Christmas build-up and of course the big day itself. With Steve being away on tour around USA, Canada and MexicoRead more
