Today I’m sharing Blueberry and Banana Pancakes (American Style). As a blogger for Oxo I am privileged to receive products which often push me to make things that I haven’t ever thought to make before. So when I received a kit for making pancakes (items actually sold separately) I wanted to do something a little…
Credit Crunch Munch
Turkey, Bacon & Leek Pie
Did you know it’s British Pie Week between 4 – 10 March so in its honour I’ve made a Turkey, Bacon & Leek Pie. When I worked in caterers/deli briefly many moons ago, we made pies most days but they were always in ceramic with just a pie crust so this was my first time…
February’s Credit Crunch Munch Round-up
Well we’ve had a fabulous response to this month’s Credit Crunch Munch with 38 entries so in the order they arrived I am going to attempt to do all your clever money saving dishes justice (you might want to go and stick the kettle on)! First up was myself with Yorkshire Puddings with Ice Cream…
Budget Valentine Chocolates
We don’t really do Valentine’s Day like we used to in our younger days and at the end of the day it is very annoying if you’re single (and don’t get a card) and quite a commercial racket! With the credit crunch in full swing I decided that wasting money on cards was not on…
Bacon Roly Poly
Bacon Roly Poly is an old fashioned British pudding brought up to date. Bacon, red onions and mushrooms all rolled into a suet pudding casing and steamed for the ultimate comfort food.

Yorkshire Puddings with Ice Cream & Golden Syrup
Yorkshire Pudding with Ice Cream & Golden Syrup Since 2008 the first Sunday of every February has been designated British Yorkshire Pudding Day and this year falls on 3 February. I have to admit that I mainly make Yorkshire Pudding batter for my Toad in the Hole recipe and tend to chicken out of making…
February’s Credit Crunch Munch + Mermaid Prize
This month it is my turn to host Credit Crunch Munch which is a joint challenge being run myself and the lovely Helen at Fuss Free Flavours. As usual you have free reign over what types of dishes you would like to submit but I noticed last month that there was not a single pudding…
Coleslaw
I really wasn’t sure about blogging this as perhaps everyone knows how to make coleslaw. So maybe this post is more about reminding you how easy and cheap it is to make and far tastier than the stuff you can buy in the supermarket. There seem to be two types available, the one where the…
Fish Pie
Fish Pie A hearty layered Fish Pie with leeks, breadcrumbs and a cheesy/mustard sauce which uses the peppercorn infused cooking liquor to add an extra flavour dimension. Nutritious and delicious! To mark the occasion of the first ever Credit Crunch Munch I wanted to come up with a family meal that was nutritious, delicious and…
