Another sunny weekend and another weekend filled with lots of fun, love, giggles and family. The weekend started on Friday with a visit to Stephen and Rieanna’s for curry, a lovely walk with the dog on Saturday followed by a lazy afternoon cuddled up with Hubby watching movies and then…
Peach Crumble Galette
Its the Easter holidays and days can start at a much slower pace. Hubby gets up at 7am to walk the dog and whilst he is gone I always get up to make him a fresh coffee to enjoy when he gets back, its just a few minutes together before…
Chocolate Cobbler
I have seen this recipe time and time again on Pinterest, it looks so rich and so yummy, but it is the strangest recipe I have come across. I did a little research and it appears that it is a very old traditional recipe and rather well known as Granny’s…
Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Sauce (Gluten Free)
Whilst browsing on Pinterest I found this gorgeous chocolate cake with salted caramel sauce, its rich, its indulgent, very grown up and gluten free. I love anything with salted caramel, so could not wait to have a reason to bake this dessert. I say dessert because even though it was referred…

Freedom Food, Eggs & Lavender Ice Cream
As a keen baker and cook I think I would be horrified if I counted up the amount of eggs I use in a year, I know it would be 100’s, if you think about it, nearly everything we bake has eggs in it in some form, it may be…
Rhubarb Crumble & My New Kitchen
As promised, here are a few photo’s of my new place of work, sorry they are not great but they are the best I could manage on my iPhone and it gives you an idea of how it looks. We have now been in the house for 2 months, I…
