Easter Bunny Rolls
I should have made these earlier in the weekend, but we’ve been so busy that we’ve only got round to making them today – well at least Easter isn’t quite over yet! I came ac…
Speedy Refried Beans
Refried bean can be a bit of an acquired taste (and to be honest not the prettiest dish!), but they’re such a great vegetarian protein boost in a Mexican meal and the perfect accompaniment to…
Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
Here’s another Hummingbird inspired idea – jazzing up vanilla topped chocolate cakes with biscuit crumbs makes a delectable ‘cookies and cream’ cupcake.
Lemon and Ginger Wafers
These crisp lemon and ginger wafers are a tried and tested pairing of flavours.
Banana Pancakes
Little S has gone off toast – I think she’s at that age when taste buds become extremely fussy since she only eats small amounts of everything but cucumber.

Oven-baked Risotto with Roasted and Sun-dried Tomatoes
Sometimes you just don’t have the time to make a ‘proper’ risotto, all that time standing at the stove stirring for 20 minutes or so.
Banana and Chocolate Cookies
I always try to make some homemade treat at the weekend so that the girls can have a tempting homemade goodie when they get home from school.
Roasted Carrot and Avocado Salad
I’ve been thinking about roasted carrots a lot recently – so sweet and lovely when roasted, taking on an entirely different quality to when raw or boiled/steamed carrot.
Bounty Cupcakes
My jar of desiccated coconut has been staring at me, unloved as of late but wanting to be used in some delicious concoction.
