Life has become so busy and Hubby and I have got into a bit of a rut with our meals, so we decided to sit down and find some lovely new recipes, we both love to cook from scratch using gorgeous ingredients and bring these meals that have been made…
Date Cake with Zesty Cream Cheese Icing
A new year is here and as I mentioned in an earlier post my baking mojo has disappeared, I think all this rain has washed it away, but just recently I have started to crave a slice of cake again. Like many of us over Christmas I put on a…
Chilli Beef Cornbread Pie
We are now into December and the Christmas preparations begin, I hate that Christmas is now so commercial and that the shops are selling Christmas earlier and earlier every year. The advantage that we, as a family, now have is that the Children are all grown up, aged from 25…
Red Pepper Soup with Rocket & Goats Cheese
So another day, another soup ! I am currently working my way through my Covent Garden soup cookery book and so far they have all been delicious, the detox is working well and I am starting to feel really good and really healthy. I am not drinking alcohol and not eating…

Cannoli Cream Puffs
