Tara is 8! How has that happened so quickly? I swear she has only just started school and all of a sudden she has grown so tall and can hold a proper conversation. Her love of football is well known around here - no synchro for this one. ...

Brown Sugar, White Chocolate and Pecan Scones – Baking without Eggs
If you have been around here for some time, you may remember a really old recipe for Jam & Cream Scones that came about when I fancied baking but had no eggs. Well, thanks to the 12yo's obsession with making omelettes, that situation ...
Vegan Carrot Cake
I admit I've not done much vegan baking in my time - I remember eons ago making a vegan birthday cake for an order but don't actually remember anything about the recipe. I have definitely done my research for this Vegan Carrot Cake though. ...
Healthier Oven Baked Vegetable Samosas
Well, that was an unexpected break from GBBO! After a week laid low with a chest infection (And I've got quite some chest to get infected ;-) )I'm back. Much as I tried to get into the kitchen last week, I simply couldn't stay awake long ...

Well, week 1 of #GBBOBakeoftheWeek went quickly didn't it? Great to see so many bloggers baking along with us in biscuit week. More about that later though - for now its all about my favourite week, Cake Week! I had actually ...
Ginger & Lemon Oat Cookies #GBBOBakeoftheWeek
The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed the new hashtag in the heading of this post. I'm very happy to declare that for the next few weeks #BakeoftheWeek will be joining forces with the #GBBO Bloggers Bake Off to host ...
Jamaican Ginger Cake
One of our firm favourite bakes in this house (in fact, I'm making my 2nd of the week later on today) Jamaican Ginger Cake. Yes, we do still eat the factory made variety (They last about 10 minutes in this house!) but nothing beats ...
