Recipes & tips for filling bottomless pits
If you make one fun thing this Christmas, please let it be these reindeer marshmallow pops! They might look like they’d be hard to make, but they’re SO not! I once had a go at making cake pops, and I stress the word once there. Never. Again. So instead i’ve used marshmallows for the reindeers. [...]
Sponsored Post To keep spiralling Christmas costs down I decided to make home made gifts for the boys’ teachers this year. A couple of prettily packaged jars of preserves are usually warmly received – especially if they go well with the cheese and cold meats that we scoff our way through over the holidays. I [...]
Anyone feeling Christmassy yet?! I have to confess I’m already cranking up Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas while I’m cooking the kids’ tea… I’m delighted therefore to have been chosen to be a Sainsbury’s Christmas Ambassador this year, so i’m on a mission to spread some festive cheer to you all.

I’d never really understood the fuss about Seville Oranges… why would they taste any different from the marmalade i’d made before? Well i’d clearly been missing the point. My fab mum kept a bagful of Sevilles aside in her freezer for me to take back with me after half term. And so when Vivien Lloyd [...]
Hot chocolate spoons setting in silicone cases It was my mum’s 70th birthday party at the weekend and I decided to make little table gifts for everyone. I drew inspiration from the fabulous Holly from GBBO with her hot chocolate on a stick idea over at Recipes from a normal mum. It’s essentially a large [...]
This has to be one of my all time favourite sweet treats, something my mum can throw together with her eyes closed after years of providing the WI market stall with it, but i’d never attempted it before. Once again, Christmas fair duties were calling, this time for Arlo’s playgroup so I decided to bake [...]
