Chocolate Chip Muffins
You know sometimes when you just crave something chocolatey? Well these muffins are just the thing to satisfy that craving.
Brown Bread
I’m on a bit of a health(Yish) kick so this recipe varies slightly from my normal brown bread recipe but there’s only 1 small difference and that is that I reduced some of the flour and added Flax Seeds and popped Sesame Seeds on top. If you don’t like Flax Seeds then use 250g wheatmeal…
Healthy Waffles
I’m super excited to be doing the Happy Pear 4 week Vegan Cookery Course. I’m not saying I’ll be going fully vegan but I do think that life is all about balance. Taking some inspiration and doing more vegan and plant based cooking is definitely what I want to do for many reasons and it’s…
Potatoe & Leek Soup
You know when you need to have something for lunch but there’s not much there? Well this is one of those recipes you can rustle up when there’s a few old spuds and some leeks hanging about that need to be put to good use. It’s a heart warming soup that I can’t say is…
Rustic White Bread

It’s the kind of dish that’s yummy for a weekend brunch when you have a bit of time to doing things like grating. I’ve only recently started cooking with courgette and combined with feta, sweetcorn, cheese and some…
Mini Pavlovas
Well I’m a massive Pav fan and normally make one big pavlova but today thought I’d try to make a batch of mini pavlovas and you know what they didn’t turn out half bad. Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. These are a great dinner party dessert because they’re relatively quick to…
Roasted Sweet Potatoe Cubes
I made a conscious effort to try and cook healthier food options when I had my little Miss E 17 months ago. Well she’s an absolute pleasure to cook for because she loves her food and pretty much eats everything (I’m sure that’s going to change but for now I’m relishing it) apart from tomato…
What is your Ideal Home?
WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL HOME? We are in the process of purchasing our ‘ideal Irish home’ and the reason it’s our ideal home is for a few reasons but what I can tell you it’s certainly not because of the ‘Dallas’ style pillars on the outside of this bungalow. For me it doesn’t have…
