Georgie had some very exciting post last week; an Easter Egg decorating kit that was generously sent to her to have fun with. HRS UK sent the kit as part of their parent blogger Easter competition, so fingers crossed we might even win something nice! As soon as she saw what was inside the parcel she wanted …
We were challenged to try out the Salter Heston Blumenthal Precision Professional Whisk & Multipurpose Spatulas whilst making pancakes, so at the weekend my Dad and I measured out the ingredients and gave it a whirl.
We used a recipe from a very old children’s cookbook that my dad swears by. Our batter had 12oz flour, 1 1/2 pints of milk, 3 eggs, and a pinch of salt. This produced enough batter for the kids to share a pancake & the four adults to have 3 or 4 each.
When I was little, I was in the Rainbows, and my Mum was a Rainbow leader. She would plan loads of fun activities for us to do, and I remember one in particular that was great fun and really easy to do. She called it “Jelly Babies in Bed”, and I decided to have a …
A few days ago my dad had a pretty awful headache, and so I tried my best to keep the kids out of his way to let him rest. In the morning we were busy playing with Georgie’s new Nancy doll, and then in the afternoon, once Lydia was safely down for her nap, I …
I only just got my hands on the new Cake Angels Christmas range at the weekend, and so on Sunday Georgie, Dad & I baked up a storm in time for lunch with family friends yesterday. We had great fun!
We were sent a Cake Angels Graveyard Flapjack Kit and pot of Halloween Sprinkles to do some halloween themed baking, and Georgie and I had great fun making some yummy and very colourful treats.
The flapjack kit was really simple to mix up and comes with its own disposable cardboard tray, which eliminates the need for you to have a tray the right size at home already. Inside the box you get a pack of flapjack mix, one of icing sugar, a little bag of green sprinkles and some sugar wafer gravestones.
This week is National Cupcake Week 2013 (seriously, who decides these things?!) and so I decided to do some baking with Georgie to celebrate! In our Thomas & Friends goodie bag from our day out at Drayton Manor, we got a Green’s Thomas & Friends Vanilla Cake Kit that just requires an egg, some butter, and …
Georgie is tucked up snoring away in bed, and when she wakes up in the morning it will be her 2nd birthday! This has come around so quickly and my baby girl is growing up before our eyes. This evening James’s Mum popped round and we had chinese takeaway for dinner as an early birthday …
I had to give up baking towards the end of my pregnancy, as my massive bump was getting in the way a bit! Now with Lydia starting to get into a routine, and my afternoons returning to being my “me time”, I’m getting my baking mojo back. I baked some of my cheese & bacon …
I made this recipe yesterday to try out my new Kenwood Kmix. I came up with lots of sweet suggestions first but James was obviously in a savoury mood because when I suggested I made this one he practically bit my hand off! He and Georgie are both massive cheese fans, it’s obviously hereditary. Needless …
