Spiced Orange Millionaires Brownies
Ok so this is the time of year when I want to go full Christmas but have to reign myself in slightly. The only thing stopping me going full Mariah in November is the kids who have already started asking if it’s Christmas eve tomorrow. 6 weeks is a lifetime for toddlers so I have to go against all my will and hold fire on … Continue reading Spiced Orange Millionaires Brownies
Neapolitan Viennese Whirls
Viennese whirls are my all time favourite biscuits. Melt in the mouth buttery pieces of heaven. They are however, a bit of a faff. Our basic biscuits are easily whipped up and stand up well against plenty of toddler man-handling but Viennese whirls are a bit more fiddly. Trust me when I say though that they are worth the effort 100 times over. I’ve messed … Continue reading Neapolitan Viennese Whirls
Pumpkin, Bacon and Cheese Muffins
Somedays my kids will clear a plate of veggie chilli no questions asked. Other days I have to pretend the man reading the meter is the dinner inspector in order to get them to have a bite of fish finger. On those days when hoping for a well timed visit from the meter reader is your only option, it’s always worth getting the kids involved … Continue reading Pumpkin, Bacon and Cheese Muffins
Chocolate Custard Tart
Sometimes it seems that the few things guaranteed to keep my kids happy are also the things that I find especially annoying. YouTube videos of strangers playing with toys, watched on my phone of course. Playdoh in all its guises. Sticker books where the stickers inevitably end up on my furniture rather than the book. There are however two things that keep us all happy. … Continue reading Chocolate Custard Tart

Spiced Toffee Apple Cake
Since having kids I’ve developed a new found love of Autumn. After wrestling toddlers to wear sun cream all summer, throwing a cargidan on them feels like a piece of cake! I don’t need to justify my 10 cups of tea a day because it’s genuinely a little bit chilly out. (No more force feeding me frappes Karen!) And rather than finding sand in every … Continue reading Spiced Toffee Apple Cake
Meaty Pork Pie
If you’re not a fan of handling raw meat then I wouldn’t advise taking this project on with little hands. Part of the fun is getting your hands into the very warm pastry and mixing up the meats with the herbs and spices. Luckily my two aren’t at all squeamish but be warned you may have to actively stop a toddler eating raw bacon… You … Continue reading Meaty Pork Pie
