Almond Butter Cookies
They say that with kids everything is a phase. This wasn’t particularly helpful in the sleepless nights phase (we’re now in the 4th year of this between the 2 kids).

Spiced Orange Millionaires Brownies

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
