Homity Pie
So I’ve been trying to embrace my inner earth mother and ventured into vegetable growing this year. We’ve failed at strawberries, destroyed a batch of carrots and didn’t even get a single shoot from the cabbages or cauliflour. One thing that actually took root though were the potatoes. So you can imagine the kids excitement at having something from the garden we could cook with. … Continue reading Homity Pie
Pinwheel Biscuits
I’ve already shared the photos of these bright blue pinwheels over on our Instagram and another mum, who has also had her telly hijacked by Disney films, pointed out that they looked like Moana biscuits. If you didn’t see it before the then “You’re Welcome!” Ingredients Batch of our Basic Biscuit Dough Few drops of blue food colour gel or paste 50g sprinkles *optional You … Continue reading Pinwheel Biscuits
Coconut Ice
I have a habit of making things about 10 times more complicated than they need to be. I’ve been attempting some pretty complicated baking challenges recently and getting flustered when they don’t turn out 100% perfect. My kids however still have a beautifully simple and uncomplex way of looking at the world. Yesterday my nearly 4 year old asked me to play ‘guards’ with her. … Continue reading Coconut Ice
Tiramisu Tart
And Breathe! If you’re making this, there is every possibility you have the rare chance to enjoy some child free baking! As much as I love baking with the kids I’m not denying that when I get the kitchen to myself it’s actual bliss! No peeling little hands away from the gas hob taps. No stepping in butter. No brushing flour out of my hair … Continue reading Tiramisu Tart
Malteser Cheesecake
Ok so I’m not the first food blogger to make a Maltesers Cheesecake but this one is special I promise! There are no Maltesers in the cheesecake itself, instead there’s rich dark chocolate and a delicious malty hit courtesy of some Malted Milk drink powder (think Horlicks, Ovaltine or as we used Asda own brand instant malt milk drinks powder, just rolls of the tounge … Continue reading Malteser Cheesecake
Baked Churros
Not to brag but I’m pretty sure I could make it into the Guinness book of records for amount of baking done on little/no sleep. My kids are notoriously poor sleepers; they torture me all night and think they can act cute in daylight hours to make up for it. Whereas I try not to complain (not really I complain constantly) nothing takes the edge … Continue reading Baked Churros
Rhubarb and Custard Cake
Do you have one of those relatives who grows lots of fruit and piles so much of it on you that you struggle to eat it? Me neither! So I bought some rhubarb in Tesco as it was yellow stickered and cheap as chips. Genuinely though, this is a delicious way to use rhubarb. A fruity sponge that’s not too sweet with a creamy custard … Continue reading Rhubarb and Custard Cake
