Sometimes you just get the urge for a soup that tastes a little bit more luxurious than the regular old mushroom or veg. The blue cheese in this soup gives it a little bit more vavavoom but don’t worry it’s very subtle and if you do like a strong hit of blue cheese then the…

Homemade Granola
I am forever buying bags of granola, having 2 or 3 breakfasts with it and then just leaving it. Yes its really wasteful so I’ve started to make my own in smaller batches and end up using what I make. This is a nut free version but of course you can add pecans, macadamia, seeds,…
Smoky Savoury Nibbles
Are you a sweet or savoury person? It’s such a difficult question to answer – I love both but if I was out at a restaurant and had to choose between starter or dessert I would most likely go for a starter over a dessert (unless maybe if it as banoffee pie or lava cake)….
White scones
Fresh warm scones just out of the oven smothered with jam and cream. There’s something utterly satisfying about scones with jam and cream. These are super easy and can be whipped up in no time. In about 35 mins you’ll have them made and cooked. Jam and cream are something I have in the fridge…
Feta and Crumb stuffed Sweet Red Peppers
Looking for lunch ideas? OMG this feta cheese and breadcrumb stuffed red pepper is AMAZING!!!! This is like the purrrfect marriage of flavours. This is like a match made in heaven. The sweetness of the roasted red peppers combined with the salty feta cheese and texture of the breadcrumbs is sooooo good and has just…
Cheesy, tomatoes and onion breakfast muffins
I love to shake breakfast up a bit sometimes instead of the same humdrum of cereal, toast or brown bread (apart from pancakes at the weekend when we have extra time and slow mornings). Although it takes a little bit longer to make these 10-15 mins (which isn’t really that long unless you’d rather cling…
Red Cabbage Coleslaw
I bought a head of red/purple cabbage the other day and I have a confession to make. I have never cooked with red cabbage so I’ve challenged myself to try 2 recipes and this is the first of 2. Of course I’m not going to make the challenge very difficult so I made red cabbage…
Vegan Avocado Mayonnaise
I LOVE my mayo but I’ve been looking for a healthier option and been experimenting a bit so here’s my vegan Avocado Mayonnaise. I had mucho Avocados in the fridge and wondering what I could create with them. This is a super simple and healthy avocado mayonnaise that you’ll have whipped up in less than…
Cinnamon Rolls
Yesterday was a wet day with the rain pelting against the window and the leaves hurtling in the wind. I fancied something sweet and something with Cinnamon so of course it had to be Cinnamon Rolls. It’s not something I’d every really make during Summer but as soon as chilly Autumn and Winter hits us…
Lemon Meringue Roulade
This is a great cake to serve up for a dinner party. A crunchy meringue roll filled with cream and tangy lemon curd for that citrus hit. It’s a quick one to whip up and can be done the night before. If lemon curd isn’t your thing fill you could use strawberry or raspberry jam…
