Recipe here This recipe was great and so out of my comfort zone. These are baked on a dry griddle/frying pan which was a nerve-wracking task of balancing the heat properly so that they were cooked through, but not burnt on the outside. My first attempt was definitely underdone when I took them off the… Continue reading Soda Farls

Seeded Loaf
Recipe here This was a great recipe. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack with butter and jam or honey. Robbie has really been enjoying snacking on seeds recently which is why I wanted to give this recipe a try. He loved it and it kept him busy for a while while he picked all… Continue reading Seeded Loaf
White Bread Loaf
Recipe here This was a great and simple recipe that produced a taste and versatile bread. I think I could have taken this loaf out the oven a few minutes earlier though.
Cheese and Tomato Loaf
Recipe here This was a great bread recipe and easy to follow. This bread would be perfect with soup or as an open sandwich.
Biscoff Fudge Bites
Recipe here This was a labour of love due to the chilling and setting times, but it was very worth it. I didn't have as much white chocolate as the recipe called for, but I didn't correct the other measurements as the difference was small and difficult to work with. The fudge turned out well… Continue reading Biscoff Fudge Bites
Cheese and Jalapeño “Baguette”
Recipe here This recipe was great. I really enjoyed making this bread and it been a hit for everyone who had tried it. I use jarred jalapeños as this was easier than cutting fresh ones with Robbie around. I was quite conservative with them to start with but gradually added more during the subsequent times… Continue reading Cheese and Jalapeño “Baguette”
Cheese and Herb Plated loaf
Recipe here I really enjoyed making this bread. It is really tasty and looks great too. Bread has never been something I've been confident in making, but Lockdown (2020) gave me the opportunity to challenge myself. It has become something I find very therapeutic and enjoyable.
Soda Bread Loaf
Recipe here This was a new recipe for me and a new experience using buttermilk in bread, but I was pleased with the outcome. The bread could have down with a little longer in the oven, but John was happy with it and he is our resident expert on Soda bread.
Soda Bread Cheesy Muffins
Recipe here This is a lovely little savoury snack idea. We decided not to add the jalapeños as Robbie was going to be eating them. When I make these again I am planning on experimenting a little with them and adding some sun-dried tomatoes or peppers to the mixture instead of the jalapeños to change… Continue reading Soda Bread Cheesy Muffins
Welsh Cakes
Recipe here We used this lovely recipe as part of our Wales themed week. Traditionally these are cooked in a dry griddle/frying pan like pancakes, however, it was much safer with Robbie helping to just pop them into the oven. Robbie insisted on using our angel Christmas cookie cutter to make "butterfly" Welsh cakes. So… Continue reading Welsh Cakes
