My Food category contains recipes, food ideas, food reviews, some restaurant reviews too. I love to use the slow cooker, as well as creating meals from scratch.
Trying to make food fun is something we tend to do a lot of at home, not only trying new foods and flavours but also getting Athena involved in the preparation too! Stuffed peppers or ‘pepper pots’ are a really fun and easy way to prepare a tasty meal that incorporates a lot of different… Read More
I am so happy that we have a larger kitchen now, it means I have the space to really focus on devising and creating meals for us to enjoy as a family, and am really focussing on making meals that I can cook and freeze in batches but that we can all help ourselves to… Read More
I quite enjoy spending time in the kitchen, I love food and enjoy preparing it almost as much. I’m currently battling a toddler with fairly picky eating habits and a baby that is only just starting to enjoy flavours and textures plus a husband that has an appetite of a horse but who is trying… Read More
Here are some spicy, warm and particularly festive drink ideas to get you in the mood for Christmas. Have a swig while wrapping your presents or to warm you up after being out carol singing. They’re also perfect for sharing at your Christmas gatherings – just mix up a batch and keep it warming gently… Read More

Who doesn’t love a roast dinner? We certainly do in this house though they’re few and far between! This weekend though we decided to start a new family tradition and from now on once a month we’re going to have a proper Sunday Lunch and a snack tea whilst watching a film together. At the… Read More
These muffins are just delicious, most muffins are in fact but seeing as it’s almost halloween and Sam bought a tin of pumpkin filling at the supermarket a few months ago I thought I would try something a bit pumpkiny! I adapted my go-to muffin recipe but doubled the quantities to allow for moistness of… Read More
Every week I sit down to write a meal plan, and either write it and don’t adhere to it or forget to buy one or two (alright, often more) vital ingredients for the meals. It doesn’t help that we don’t do our food shop on a regular day due to Sams unpredictable work schedule and… Read More
So I probably win the award for the latest post about the most amazing Thursday night I’ve had in a long time, the #AsdaMeatup a few weeks back to celebrate National Burger Day with a BBQ courtesy of Asda. A big yellow bus (okay, two as there were so many of us) chugged us all… Read More
