Please tell me its totally fine to start Christmas baking with a vengeance? I'm loving pottering around the kitchen at the moment. The days are so dark and cold here in Merseyside so my kitchen is a haven with lights & heating on full ...

Tropical Ginger Traybake
I find it hard to think about bakes that are easier and more handy than a good traybake. So versatile, they can be chopped into huge chunks or dainty slices if more portions are needed. Most of my traybake recipes are really speedy bakes ...
Giant Battenburg
We've had a bit of a celebration in our house this week. One that even made me crack open the oven. Millie went to GB trials in Bristol the weekend before last and was offered a place on both the Junior and Senior GB Synchronised Swimming ...
Reduced Sugar Blueberry Muffins
There's a possibility I am becoming slightly addicted to blueberries - a punnet doesn't last a day in this house. I'm sure they are juicier & tastier than ever this year. We are still fighting the never ending battle to reduce our sugar ...
Speculoos Crumble Cookies
Firstly a huge thank you to everyone for all your kind words following my post last week. We are slightly brighter as time goes on but still missing our little guy SO MUCH! It feels far too long since I caught up with #BakeoftheWeek. I'd ...
Simple Chocolate Drip Cake
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend - What did you all get up to? I'd love to know. We spent a couple of nights over in Leeds (non-swimming related) at one of my sisters. The whole family went over so it was a true family ...
White Chocolate & Coconut Oat Cookies
These are a sure winner with the kids. Not too coconutty as we only like a hint but plenty full of white chocolate. You can't beat Oat Cookies for an after school or after swimming snack. I've been asked to make another batch tomorrow. The ...
Coffee Walnut Loaf Cake
You can't beat the comfort of an old baking favourite. I was just in the mood for a slice of cake to enjoy with my brew and my latest book, so Coffee & Walnut Loaf Cake it was. Simple decorations work best with this - Some powdered ...
After Eight Brownies
These After Eight Brownies fixed everything for me last week. Sometimes I have a week in the kitchen that tests even my most basic of baking skills. Last week was definitely one of those - A week that made me question whether I'd lost my ...
Gingerbread Roulade with Lemon Cream
Yes the orange baubles are back again! We haven't got an awful lot of Christmas decorations down from the loft yet so these are the only Christmassy thing hanging around. Pretty safe to say, they are not going to be fit for hanging on the ...
