I have a bit of a weakness for Lotus Biscoff biscuits and I’ve seen so many photos and videos of people creating amazing baked goods using them. The most popular recipes seem to be cheesecakes or blondies, which have the squidgy goodness of a chocolate brownie but without the cocoa or chocolate chips – this …
Teachers gifts are one of the unwritten rules of being a parent – a little something to give your child’s teacher at the end of the school year, to thank them for being there for your child for the past year. Zac and Lily sent me a few of their Cookie Mix gifts – one to pass on to Georgie’s beloved teacher, and another to bake so we could try out the mix.
A few weeks ago we headed North to visit the Wren Kitchens HQ, fittingly called “The Nest” to have some fun in the kitchen with lots of food and Linda Barker. Wren Kitchens want to encourage kids into the kitchen to learn how to eat healthily and understand where their food comes from.
It’s National Cupcake Week! Of course, the girls and myself couldn’t let it pass us by without baking some cupcakes to enjoy. I used a recipe from the cupcake book they chose for me for my birthday for the cake, and totally cheated with icing-in-a-tub. Lydia helped me mix the sponge while Georgie was at …
Georgie and I were sent some Yummy Nummies to try out – they are like kitchen crafting, a cross between cooking and creating, and a great bit of fun. Check out our video to see how we got on! Yummy Nummies are based on a craze that started in Japan (where else would you find …
Roberts Bakery got in touch and asked if we would like to try their thick soft & fluffy white bread, to make James a bacon butty for an early Father’s Day treat. I am actually away for most of Father’s Day as I will be coming back from London that day, so I was pleased …
Georgie and I decided to make a double batch of Rocky Road, and I have amended this wonderful recipe from Jo’s Kitchen to create what we called “All the M’s Rocky Road“ I decided to video our efforts so you can find that at the bottom of the post, along with the recipe… All the …
I love to bake with the girls and Georgie’s favourite thing to bake is, without a doubt, cupcakes. I have been trying out different recipes for our cupcakes and have ended up with this yummy & light recipe that is pretty much baking-with-kids-foolproof. I can always depend on James’s co-workers to demolish any excess baked …
When Getting Personal contacted me to see if I would like to review any of their Father’s Day Gifts range, it wasn’t hard for me to narrow it down to one of their engraved cheeseboards. I am married to a cheese addict, and I don’t mean dodgy films and disco songs. My husband will quite often disappear into the kitchen 10 minutes before bedtime to make himself a slice of cheese on toast before heading to bed!
We were sent a range of Old El Paso products to try out, and have been enjoying having a taste of Mexico in our house. James and I honeymooned in Mexico so it was lovely to have an edible reminder of that most special holiday, too. Original Taco Kit – with the taco kit you get tacos, spice mix, and salsa. You need to buy some mince, lettuce, tomato & cheese to go with this kit. The mince is cooked up with the spice mix, the taco shells warmed in the oven, and the other ingredients cropped & grated to pile into your taco shells with your mince.
