Being British I have to mention the amazing weather we’re having at the moment. I love it! The weather definitely has an effect on our appetite which is why we were more than happy to Napolina’s range of pestos which are great for creating a light and tasty meal to enjoy for lunch or dinner….

How do you like your pancakes?

Posted on February 25, 2014January 8, 2023 by jenny

Last week we were the lucky recipients of a Magic Pancake Possibilities Box from Warburtons. I never knew Warburtons made pancakes, we’re much more used to eating their delicious bread, so we were looking forward to trying them. My children absolutely loved opening the Magic Pancake Box which played Pure Imagination from the original Charlie…

Marzipan hearts dipped in white chocolate

Posted on February 3, 2014 by jenny

Something came over me the other evening, the desire to make delicious things to eat. Before Christmas I had bought a block of marzipan to make some marzipan fruits for Christmas, but I ran out of time. Instead I made some pretty marzipan hearts and dipped them in white chocolate for a naughty treat. They…

Posted on February 2, 2014December 8, 2015 by jenny

However our family loves nothing better than cold ice cream with hot puddings, especially on a lazy Sunday like the one we had today. Recently we’ve been trying out the amazing ChillFactor Ice Cream Maker which means you…

Full tummies here!

Posted on September 21, 2013 by jenny

At 22 months Little Sis is a very fussy eater. Despite phasing out her lunchtime bottle her appetite is still pretty hit and miss and there is no pattern to the amount she eats. She does seem to prefer ready meals to my own cooking (!) so I was happy to try the new meals…

The Charcoal Challenge

Posted on July 20, 2013October 19, 2020 by jenny

I do love the weekend and a quiet couple of days at home. We didn’t have much to do apart from take bags of goodies to our local charity shop and take my new car for a drive. I can’t tell you how strange I’m finding being able to drive legally. The weather has finally…

A lazy day

Posted on April 4, 2013 by jenny

This cold weather means I want to be eating good wholesome food! Ok, so I’ve already written about butterfly cakes today but I don’t just eat cake (honest). Most of the time I like to cook our meals from scratch but, like most busy mums, I keep stock of quick and easy meals for my…
