Berry Slump

I popped into the local Tesco store the other day for a loaf of bread and a quart of milk and ended up walking out with a bag filled with berries and clotted cream. You know those recipe cards that grocery shops have scattered here and there[...]

Malteaser Brownies, The Naughty Ones

53 1
I just love the Malteaser adverts, but then . . . I love Malteasers and I am a bit naughty! But in a nice way, or at least I think I am! I think there's only about 11 calories in a Malteaser . . . the candies, not the brownies. I don't[...]

Crispy Crumbed Romano Peppers

I recently received a gift certificate for Amazon.uk from the Fairy Hobmother so that I could buy anything I wanted to treat myself with. It was no surpise that I got myself several cookbooks. I know . . . I didn't really need them, but I do[...]

Chocolate Cherry Fudge Bars

We had the missionaries over for tea last night and as you know I do like to spoil them a bit. We feasted on a lovely glazed turkey breast crown that was so tender and delicious. I used this recipe that I found here , and I think this is the[...]

Butter Baked Cod

We are great fans of fish in this house, especially haddock and cod. It goes without saying that we only buy and eat fish that is responsibly sourced and caught. We do also occasionally eat salmon and tuna and Todd loves mackeral. Me, I'm[...]

Sticky Bangers with Buttermilk and Chive Mash

Todd just loves his Banger's and Mash. If I want to make him happy, that's all I have to cook up. He could eat them more than once every week! I do think they have lovely sausages over here in the UK. . . well the best quality ones at any[...]

Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Tray Bake

We've got people coming over later on this afternoon for a visit and some tea . . . you know the drill . . . finger sandwiches, a cake, and some other scrummy bits. I also wanted to make something a little bit different for these Brits, something[...]

English Lavender Buttermilk Scones

There is nothing more beautiful, both to look at and to smell than gorgeous English Lavender. Down in Norfolk they have fields and fields of the stuff. When we lived in the cottage down in Kent, the whole back of the house was flanked with[...]

Cranberry, Pecan and White Chocolate Flap Jacks

53 1
Oh, I am so very annoyed with myself. I told myself the other day that I wasn't going to bake anything scrummy for a while . . . I wasn't going to bake anything that I couldn't resist stogging into my cake hole for a while . . . I wasn't[...]
