Impossible to eat only one, I tell you! I much prefer smaller Churros to long thin ones - They are so much more convenient to eat. These are quite delicious on their own, simply rolled in sugar but for extra wow, try them dipped first in ...
Cherry Streusel Loaf Cake
The Costello Kitchen was closed for a few days last week (to baking - we still manage to eat other things than cake!). BritMums and school stuff seemed to take over. The ovens are back on with a vengeance today though. I started with ...
Lemon Frangipane Pie
I've decided to make something a little more challenging for this week's #Bakeoftheweek. The past few weeks have been fairly easy and quick but every now and then, I like to get my teeth stuck into a proper project. (And then get my teeth ...
Healthy Fish, Chips & Minted Peas
I've tried to devise a meal that doesn't take forever to prepare - In fact, if you pre-cook the potatoes this can take less than 10 minutes. While this dish doesn't strictly contain chips, I've kept the skin on the potatoes for extra ...

One Direction Bento Box
It seems the craze for Bento boxes is getting bigger and bigger. For people new to Bento, they are packed lunches. You are 'supposed' to have a variety of smaller items rather than just a buttie and an apple. I say 'supposed' to because ...
Homemade Naan Breads
I'm loving this focus on getting a Bake of the Week up every week. I've always baked since getting my own house but haven't always been so religious about photographing them and finishing off my bakes properly. Having to have a recipe to ...
Breaded Fish Fingers
I've been hopping on trains up and down the country like a mad woman during the past month. Most of the trips have been to take or pick up Millie from England training but a couple of weeks ago, me & Violet went on an adventure all of ...
Homemade Lemon Iced Gems – Bake of the Week
We eat biscuits like they are going out of fashion in this house. A packet can disappear in instants. I've really cut down though on how many biscuits we buy this year. I'd much rather bake the biscuits so we know exactly what the girls are ...
