Let’s settle this now… It’s never too early to start. Ever. 10 years ago, I think I would of waited until 7pm Christmas Eve, to drag myself to some hell of a high street and just do it. A rush buy for all the family. Fast forward to the beginning of December and I can…
And just like that, Emily turns 3.
Hello Three. Wild and three. Who can believe my little, but not so little, Emily is now three. Gosh, hasn’t that time flown? I’m really not sure where that time has gone. It’s gone by way too quickly. Like a flash if I’m honest. I can still remember being told in a swift jiffy that…
Rolled Lamb breast, seriously what is that all about?
I was in Asda a few weeks ago, and I saw two rolled lamb joints that took my fancy. I’ve never made rolled lamb before, but I was definitely up for the challenge. But what on earth? There’s me thinking lamb is lamb. Lamb mince is lush in a shepherds pie or lamb Kofta, lamb…
Sunflowers and Smiles
A couple of months ago with what seems like an eternity, the weather was glorious. For a few days there was some really harsh days of rain, so it was nice that one afternoon able to go out in a light sweater and enjoy the day. It was also the perfect day to visit the…
I was in the Minor Injuries Unit, this time for me!
What is it with us and hospitals recently? Last month, Emily was rushed to hospital with a high temperature and suspected sepsis of the lung, that thankfully was just a chest infection. But still a terrifying 13 hours. Roll on a few weeks, and I was in Deal’s minor injuries unit for my eye for…
Sweet Honey Roast Ham
Love a sweet and sticky roast ham, but don’t like mustard? Here’s to a really simple simple delicious ham, perfect for all occasions, especially Christmas. And I’ll be making this at Christmas. All you need is 5 ingredients… brown sugar, honey, a smoked gammon joint and salt & pepper. I got my smoked gammon joint…
Could this nano sticker be the end of headaches and decrease mobile phone radiation?
There’s been lots of talk about 5G in the press recently as the 5G mobile network has been switched on in some areas across the country. The 5G network, same as any of the previous cellular technologies rely on signals carried by radio waves, part of the electromagnetic spectrum, transmitted between an antenna or mast…
It’s been a mad few weeks hence the reason I’ve not written…
Apologies for the radio silence, it’s been a mad few weeks since my last post on here. We’ve had a few hospital trips, a few bouts of sickness and a lot of moaning about the weather. It’s just been hectic. And whilst all is ok now, I just haven’t really found the time to sit…
I’ve nearly done all my Christmas shopping
Yeah I know what you’re going to say, but it’s not that terrible that I’m that organised is it? I fear I’m way more excited than Emily. But then I suppose, she’s not even aware it’ll be happening soon, apart from I suppose the few retailers shoving Christmas in our faces. There’s a few reasons…
Spicy Chinese Pork Stir Fry
I have a newfound love for pork mince at the moment. I can do so much with it. The other week it was pork and courgette meatballs this week it’s all about how easy it can sort out a quick and simple dinner packed with veggies and flavour. This dish was a last minute dish…
I’m having another clear out..
This must be my 15th clear out this year. But it’s all for that reason. Whilst we are not exactly struggling for space, I fear that all the furniture that we have left in the house it’s become a dumping ground for random crap. There is shit everywhere. Letters, keys, random trinkets, cards, odd toys,…
Tarragon and Mint Chicken Casserole
I love this dish. My mum made it for me after experimenting in her kitchen one evening bored. I tried it, fell in love and have cooked it for Sam who loves it as much as I do. You don’t need much tarragon and dried works so much better for giving the flavour instead of…
Spaghetti Bolognese on a budget
Cooking on a budget is possible when feeding the family. Everything in this dish was already in my cupboard. If you buy dried herbs they last longer, same as a pack of onions over the bigger 3-pack you get in supermarkets. You can use frozen onions and peppers if preferred and all the sauces and…
Channelling my inner 80s child.
Oh hey there… Sorry for my non-made up face, but this face isn’t caring. Because hello there Molly Ringwald kinda waves. I don’t care what you say, but this is pretty cool. It started with my mum coming down for the weekend. Which of course all of us loved, not as much as Emily though….
One Pan Sea Bass in Lemon Butter Sauce with Spinach & Vegetables
Quick and easy is what I like and this was perfect at the end of a long day of work. But this dish was so simple, rustled up in less than 20 minutes and tasted delicious. The ingredients below is for an individual person, but just add a little bit more of everything if you’re…
