Ever since my kids started sneaking Nakd Bars in the night and wee hours of the morning, I have been a little obsessed with finding worthy recipes to make at home. (Rosanna’s Kitchen has a great recipe) Thankfully we have been buying them in bulk packages, but you would be amazed how often I reach…

Crepes with Shrimp & Watercress
This recipe might be a little retro, but trust me it is worth being revisited again, and again. It is an obvious one for the upcoming Pancake Day (or Shrove Tuesday for all those inclined) in February – one of my favourite days ever! In fact, I cannot believe I lived so many years not…
Easy Cinnamon Rolls
Things have been a little chaotic for us lately. Usually, the time between September and the build up to Christmas fills up surprisingly fast, and then suddenly we are thrust into full on Christmas preparation. Now, I love Christmas and all the fuss and baking, eating, and indulgence that comes with it. It is actually…
Festive Energy Bites
Now, anyone who really knows me, knows I am a massive fan of all things Christmas. I spent most of the year compiling my gift lists and all my festive baking and cooking. It is the best celebration of food and I love it, complete with all its indulgences. The ramp up to Christmas, for…
Chocolate, Date & Almond Shake (Smoothie)
Every once in a while, I feel like I need something really indulgent. I love ice cream. In fact, I love anything made with ice cream. Ice cream covered in sprinkles, swirled with toppings and bits of anything, sundaes, pies and cakes. If it has ice cream then I will usually like it. Of course,…
My Family Paella
Paella – This rice dish should be your new family favourite!
Arancini (Risotto Balls)
Like most parents, I am on a perpetual quest to find food my children will eat. Not just food out of a tin or bags from the freezer, but food which is healthy and I feel I would like to eat. I cannot tell you how many recipes I have slaved over only to find…
Sweet Potato Bakes
My first memory of eating sweet potatoes was of my father making this dish. I could see my father was excited about these. He was talking a lot and telling us about how sweet they were. He was smiling the entire time and we were just not that interested – this was clearly before the foodie…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Biscuits (Pumpkin Cookies)
A few years ago, my husband had an American colleague who kindly passed along this recipe from his childhood. We had bonded on our respective Thanksgiving festivities and traditions, and more importantly over the food served up over this time. My favourites are still pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake – although I am open to…
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Pumpkin spice was almost unheard of before Starbucks introduced their Pumpkin Spice Lattes here in the UK. Buying Pumpkin itself was a near impossible feat unless you went to an American Food stockist in some remote part of the city (Loopy Pintos comes to mind here in Edinburgh). Thankfully, you can now find tinned pumpkin…
Morning Glory Muffin
In my lifelong quest to find a palatable breakfast (all before I found Açai bowls and smoothies) I found muffins. Not un-iced cupcakes, like my husband thinks they are. But real American-style muffins with some sort of fruit or vegetable worked through it. I have been made muffins for as long as I can remember. It was one…
Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas
When I first got invited to join Pinterest I quickly started soaking up all the amazing looking pictures of food. I came across this recipe pretty early on in my feed and was completely taken in! It took me a while to give it a try, but I was not disappointed once I did. I…
