Apple Fritters – With and Without Sage
I'm all over the sales this year - no, not clothes, shoes and handbags. I'm talking about the bargains to be had in the food aisle. These Apple Fritters were born from the ultimate bargain at our local supermarket. So far we have ...
Sticky Christmas Pecans
A super quick and easy recipe for today. Christmas wouldn't be the same without copious amounts of nuts. I'm definitely at that stage in my preparations when I can't walk past a packet of nuts without buying some. As a handmade presents go, ...
Cherry Bakewell Energy Balls

Chicken Basil Toasted Sandwich
I was one of life's revelations to me, when I grew up, that sandwiches didn't have to be boring - They didn't have to be on white bread and definitely didn't have to have butter on them. I wasn't the most adventurous with my sandwiches as a ...
