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
Terry’s Chocolate Orange Millionaire Shortbread
Recipe here This recipe is amazing!! So decadent, delicious and dangerously moreish. I tweaked the recipe to make a mint chocolate version too as a challenge after the success of the orange version. I literally just added mint where the recipe called for orange, mint chocolate aero balls when it called for chocolate orange and… Continue reading Terry’s Chocolate Orange Millionaire Shortbread
Oats Biscuits
Recipe here This is a brilliant, versatile recipe, we used to make Teddy Bear biscuits for our Teddy Bears Picnic and bird biscuits for our bird-themed week. We did this by placing balls of dough touching on the baking sheet before putting them in the oven so they joined together during baking. We added raisins… Continue reading Oats Biscuits
Focaccia
Recipe here I was very proud of this bake as I had never attempted to make anything like this before. This recipe made it fun and easy with an added bonus of getting to use some of my own Rosemary grown in our back garden! I think the only change I would make would be… Continue reading Focaccia
Brownies
Recipe here I absolutely love this brownie recipe! It is so easy and straightforward and produces amazing brownie. I ended up baking them for a good bit longer than the recipe suggested as I think my baking tray was deeper than suggested so they were still very wobbly in the middle. I checked them every… Continue reading Brownies
Butterfly Cakes
Recipe here These little cakes were great. Robbie loved making them as one of our activities in our butterflies and caterpillars themed week. I feel like there are lots of ways you could change up this simple, but effective recipe. You could make marble sponge or coloured sponge, to make them look different or you… Continue reading Butterfly Cakes
Pizza Dough
Recipe here Pizza dough was always something I wanted to try and make. I had attempted it in the past, but it had always come out too thick and doughy. This recipe is so easy to follow, rolls out really think to make a lovely crisp base and makes enough pizza to very comfortably feed… Continue reading Pizza Dough
Flapjacks
Recipe here What do you do when you can't get flour due to COVID-19, but have plenty of oats? You make flapjack of course! This was a nice change from baking cakes and was very easy for Robbie to help out with. I think we baked them for a tiny bit too long as they… Continue reading Flapjacks
Marble Cakes
Recipe here This recipe is for a Marble loaf cake, however, we used it to make tasty dinosaur and car-shaped marble cakes keeping things interesting. I adjusted the baking time slightly and checked on the cakes more regularly. They were slightly tricky to take out the silicone moulds after baking, but this didn't take away… Continue reading Marble Cakes
