Today I'm sharing my recipe for amazing blueberry and banana muffins.**Spoiler Alert** You're going to LOVE them. ;-)Over the weekend, I had a couple of bananas and a punnet of blueberries that needed using up and the easiest way I could think of was by making some homemade blueberry and banana muffins. They were so delicious that everyone came back for more - I've even had to hide the last one for me to enjoy when I get in from work this afternoon!Bananas and blueberries are a great flavour combination and these muffins are so tasty that you'll definitely be making them again … [Read more...]

Healthy Oat Pancakes {Cheap to make, delicious to eat AND Free on Slimming World}….
It's pancake day tomorrow so I thought I'd share my healthy oat pancakes with you just in case you fancy a healthy option tomorrow!Wherever possible, we keep Sunday aside as a family day where we spend some quality time together seeing as we seem to spend less and less time together during the week now that the kids are older and have different priorities (in no particular order: football, makeup, snapchat, friends and Fifa).We start the day together with a family breakfast although to be fair, we could call it brunch seeing as it's usually almost lunchtime by the time the kids … [Read more...]

Candy Cane Spoons….
I am so pleased with the way my candy cane spoons turned out! It's so rare that something I make actually turns out looking the way I pictured it in my head but these cute little spoons not only did that, they actually looked even better than I imagined!How to make Candy Cane Spoons I bought my spoon mould from Amazon (similar here) and my candy canes are just from Morrisons although I've had a bit of a nightmare getting red and white striped ones as Asda had none in and Sainsburys have a green stripe as well as a red one which I didn't want.Preheat your oven to about 160 c.The … [Read more...]
Homemade Mince Pies on a budget….
Today I'm sharing my budget homemade mince pies which are totally amazing, if I do say so myself. I'm going to leave the pastry on this one up to you because I cheated a little bit today! ;-)I have a recipe for super easy sweet pastry which you can find here but for today's homemade mince pies I used some ready rolled sweet pastry that I picked up in the Tesco reduced section a couple of weeks ago for 39p which works out cheaper than the homemade sweet pastry and if you want to cut corners and save some time then ready made pastry is always a good option to me - especially when it's … [Read more...]
