ROTM

#ROTM Birthday Cake  I've been a bit slack with my recipes of the week/month and what better way to get back into it than with a birthday cake! This month's #ROTM is a delicious recipe from Rachel Allen's Cake book and was a request from Mr B. It was his birthday after all, so of course he got … Continue reading ROTM

Beans and three veg

#ROTW When a good recipe gets better! A little while ago I discovered this great Puy Lentil Shepherd's Pie recipe from the whole ingredient. My mouth was watering just reading the recipe and I'm glad to say I wasn't disappointed! I've made it a few times now. So much so that I almost know the recipe off the top … Continue reading Beans and three veg

lovetomtom turned one!

lovetomtom turned one! Happy Blogiversary  I know it's July already but June was such a busy month with lots of exciting things going on that I'm a bit behind.

When good things happen to bad fruit

When good things happen to bad fruit Ok so describing it as bad fruit is a little harsh so lets just say fruit that's on the way out. I've been trying to incorporate more fruit into my days and with all my good intentions I probably bought more fruit than I was going to eat. Now … Continue reading When good things happen to bad fruit

#ROTW Kale I'm probably late to the game when it comes to kale but I feel it's worth a mention.  I tried kale a while ago and it wasn't for me. I love greens but I obviously did something wrong as it was too tough and not that nice. I recently gave it another go and I love it which … Continue reading #ROTW

Tea party for two

Time for tea and cake Christmas has been and gone and to be honest I'm glad. My motivation for any kind of Christmas cheer was close to zero this year which meant I really didn't have enough energy to bake up a storm. Luckily I had a tea party planned with someone who shares my love for … Continue reading Tea party for two

Apple and raisin sponge

It's a bright crisp day here, my favourite kind of day in autumn. With a chill in the air there is only one way to warm the house (and fill my belly); baking! My apron is on, I've scoured the cupboards for inspiration and today I'm making apple sponge. Food should not only taste good but also look good, however … Continue reading Apple and raisin sponge
