Baileys Brownies Recipe

If you want to make brownies that are going to blow everyone else's brownies and bakes out of the water then this easy Baileys Brownies recipe is EXACTLY what you need!Every year at this time, we seem to find ourself buying a bottle of Baileys when we see it on offer telling ourselves we pop it away from Christmas.  Every year, we open it not long after buying it and tell ourselves we'll just have a little bit and then put it back in the Christmas cupboard.  And every year, we'll completely run out before Christmas leaving us either paying full price for a bottle or facing … [Read more...]

Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears…

Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears!

Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears are my new favourite thing!  Read on to find out why and how to make your own...First up, the reason why I'm a fan of these real fruit juice gummy bears is that Master Frugal has been unwell lately and one of the things that his doctor has said is that he has super low iron levels.  We've got some quite strong iron supplements from the doctors and been told to concentrate on increasing his iron levels and to help that, she recommended that we try and up his vitamin C levels too as that really helps with iron absorption. These little … [Read more...]

Amazing Hot Chocolate Cookies!

We first shared our recipe for these super cute little hot chocolate cookies back in 2013 and over the years we've made them again so many times.  For some reason though, I've never got around to taking some new photos to replace the not-so-good photos that I took back then - probably because half of them 'disappear' as soon I take them out of the oven usually.Anyway, I've made a batch today ready for everyone getting back in from the football later on and because I actually had time to play before they get home and tuck in, I've actually managed to take a few photos.  I've added … [Read more...]

Apple and Honey Bran Muffins

These Apple and Honey Bran Muffins really are lovely and they're definitely healthier than the average muffin!I remember when I was little, my Mam used to cook something with Kelloggs All-Bran but I have no clue what it was even though I can vividly remember her weighing out the All-Bran to go in it and I remember how much I enjoyed it just out of the oven. How odd is that?Every now and again, I have a go at making something with All-Bran in it in some sort of an attempt to recreate a childhood memory and last weekend, I had a go at making Apple and Honey Bran Muffins.  They … [Read more...]

Chocolate Packed Lunch Cake (between 9p and 11p per slice)….

This amazing packed lunch cake not only looks fab and tastes great, but it's also super frugal as it costs from as little as 9p per slice to make.

I've shared a couple of versions of my packed lunch cake over the years but I thought I'd share the cake I've just made with you as it was not only super tasty but at 11p per slice, it's really good value.I first started making this when my two were in junior school as the rules guidelines set by the school at that time were that chocolate and bought cakes were frowned upon but a little piece of homemade cake was acceptable if it was part of a healthy and nutritious packed lunch. I wanted to make something that was a small-ish portion size, that could be cooked in bulk at the … [Read more...]

Milk Jelly like your Nan used to make….

Milk jelly

My recipe for milk jelly was one of the first recipes I shared on here way back when I started blogging and back then, it was something I made quite often for the kids. I hadn't made it in ages though - until a couple of weeks ago so I thought I'd update the photos and share it with you all again.I've left the post pretty much as it was back in 2011 when I first shared it but if you scroll down to the bottom you'll find the printable version of the recipe which is much clearer than the original version along with some more recent photos.I've been thinking about investigating how to … [Read more...]
