Easy thrown together trifle
I love trifle. I can’t say it’s my favourite dessert (too many are my favourites), but it’s right up there with them. But we only ever seem to eat it on special occasions. But recently we had some on the…

Breaking out of an eating out rut – restaurant challenge
When you’re a parent, especially a mum, life tends to change however much you try to maintain your old lifestyle. Pre-N, I would go dancing 3 to 4 nights a week, going away dancing 2 or 3 weekends a year,…
A summer of barbecues – plan vs reality
It seems that having a barbecue in our house is a lot harder than I’d ever anticipated when I said I’d review one from True Shopping. We love barbecued food (what’s not to love about meat, meat and more meat according to…
Super speedy, super easy healthier nachos
I love nachos and mexican food in general. We do have fajitas quite often at home, but anything else is a treat. Nachos wouldn’t class as a meal for the OH, so they’re something I have when out or with…

Eating ‘posh’ fish and chips at Rockfish, Torquay
It had been my plan to do a full write up of the various restaurants we ate at when we were on holiday in Devon. But it’s now weeks later and I’ve forgotten most of what I wanted to write….
Easy, fast and delicious two ingredient donuts
Although I don’t do much cooking nowadays – N eats at nursery 4 days a week, and the OH tends to eat at the farm, I do quite like to bake. It is a bit sporadic though. We do always tend…
Strange breakfast combinations
In terms of his eating habits, N must be one of the strangest children out there. Well, not strange, but maybe he just has some strange likes when it comes to what he eats at different times of the day….
Eat Mediterranean with Pomora Olive Oils
We’re pretty rubbish in our house at all eating together. What with full time working, N eating at nursery, the OH coming in at any old time and me preferring to eat my main at lunch, we only religiously sit…
