So Shrove Tuesday is upon us again so I thought I’d share my 3 favourite Pancake Day recipes along with some from fellow bloggers plus some tips to make the day go smoothly! Last year I made a Chilli Pancake Stack which I have to say was out of this world and the family went…

Creme Egg Chocolate Brownies – simply divine!
Last night I baked these Creme Egg Chocolate Brownies with some odds and ends of chocolate, a creme egg and a pack of mini creme eggs for my daughter’s school cake bake. I hadn’t really intended to bake anything as I’d heard my hubby and daughter discussing the fact that they would bake something together…
Fat Free Greek Yogurt Fruit Brulée
During January I have been trying to eat a little healthier to reverse the excesses of Christmas. Last week I re-created an Apple & Chocolate Swiss Roll that I once had as child and this week it was time to put another food memory into action. Inspired by a cook’s blow torch that hubby gave…
Apple & Chocolate Spelt Swiss Roll
I’m not having a dry January like a lot of people because I don’t really drink but I am making a concerted effort to eat more healthily after the excesses of Christmas! However, spying a few Bramley apples in my fridge the other day, my mind wandered back to a cake that I’d promised myself…
10 Healthy Recipes to get you motivated!
10 Healthy Recipes After the excesses of Christmas there is always much talk of diets, detox and New Year’s resolutions. I’m not really a fan of any of these things especially the term diet. To me diets were invented to sell books, classes etc and the problem with them is that as soon as people…
Banana & Chocolate Quesadilla
I hadn’t intended to do any recipe posts until the New Year but like all things in life when you aren’t looking you always find! So yesterday I was making savoury Quesadilla for everyone except my daughter who just wanted a sandwich. Feeling like she’d maybe missed out, she suggested having a Nutella Quesadilla. Then…
Risalamande (Danish Rice Pudding) with Cherry Sauce
Risalamande has been served on Christmas Eve in Denmark since around 1900. As I am half Danish I remember always feeling quite lucky as a child to have two Christmas celebrations! The first was on Christmas Eve where we had a traditional Danish meal usually with goose or duck and Risalamand followed by singing Danish…
Nutella Brioche Pudding
Our local supermarket has opened up a new bakery which is not doing that well and I have heard many complaints from customers about it. It just isn’t one thing or the other so at the end of the day there are baskets and baskets of reduced baked goods. Recently I decided that their brioche…
Hazelnut Chocolate Banana Delight with Meringue
Hazelnut Chocolate Banana Delight with Meringue is a more nutritious version of Angel Delight made with frozen banana and Nutella! It’s many years (actually decades) since I had Angel Delight but it came to my notice recently that it’s still a very popular dessert amongst adults. I think we all hang on to our childhood…
Rhubarb & Blackberry Spiral Cobbler
Today I’m sharing Rhubarb & Blackberry Spiral Cobbler! Sometimes I see a recipe and I just want to tweak it to my own taste. This happened recently when I saw a Rhubarb Spiral Cobbler (with ginger) in my copy of The Ultimate Healthy Eating Cookbook (Index 1999). With some bargain rhubarb and a booty of…
