It’s January and I’m overwhelmed with Veganuary posts on social media. Anyone else trying it? I’m trying a Vegan diet for a few days a week, for reasons I won’t talk about now, so thought it was a great excuse to make a ‘healthy’ Vegan snack, and that’s where these Vegan Dark Chocolate and Orange […]

These past few weeks I’ve been doing a lot of ‘visiting’. I’m back from my theatre tour and I’ve been trying to catch up with as many people as I can. I wanted to bring some baking treats with me, making the reunion even sweeter ;) and muffins seem to be the easiest thing to […]

IT’S EASTER – and what better excuse do you need to make this delicious Chocolate Orange Cake. Lent, for me, usually revolves around giving up chocolate, so I always fancy something indulgent and chocolatey as an Easter Sunday reward. So here it is, simple as that – My Chocolate Orange Reward Cake. Ingredients for Chocolate […]

These Lemon & Lime Olive Oil Mini Muffins also come with a little lemon and lime drizzle – to make them extra special. This is a re-vamped version of an older post (actually one of my first!). I really fancied baking something, but with the weather so warm, I was a little confused with what […]

The Jan diet is getting tough right? So I thought I’d create these Gluten Free Lemon and Blueberry Mini Loaves as a healthy-ish treat. I’ve made them reduced sugar too, so less guilt and they can easily be made dairy free by swapping the milk for almond milk. I also LOVE blueberry and lemon together, […]

World Cup fever is definitely upon us and after last weekends result, I thought that maybe the boys needed some baking inspired help from home, hence the lemon, lime & Brazil nuts (get it?!)……well, that and I wanted to try out some gluten free biscuits. I’ve noticed that literally all the shops I’ve been in […]

  What is the point of a lemon and poppy seed recipe if it isn’t really lemony and has a shed load of poppy seeds? I was fed up with half hearted flavours, so this one suits my taste to a tee, and yours too I hope! My only comment would be to check your […]

I recently invested in a juicer (quite an industrial sized one!) and have been making myself a lovely healthy juice before breakfast every morn (time permitting). Therefore, I’ve been trying out different juice recipes, seeing which ones I like best/are best for me etc etc. Well, I did a bit of a bulk buy on […]
