Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and if you’ve completely forgotten (or have just got back from an amazing holiday in Florida and forgot all about it) then have I got the cookies for you! Side note: these cookies also work for non-romantic occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, Fridays… Basically, these raspberry white chocolate sugar…
Easy Recipes
These are the easiest recipes on my site, and the definite starting place for beginners. Usually these recipes are quick and simple to make, or involve minimal baking skill or experience. So get your mixing bowl out and give something a go!
Cherry Amaretto Fudge
February’s pretty much here, and with it brings a whole host of pink things. Yep, it’s going to be all hearts and chocolate around here for the next couple of weeks. You may say that all this pink is just me trying to hide from the fact that I’m turning 30 in 5 days. You’d…
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten Free!)
I’ve got a pretty magical recipe for you today – oatmeal peanut butter cookies that are made without any flour at all! Nope, none of that gluten-free flour either. I’m talking naturally GF cookies that are also one of the easiest recipes on my blog, and don’t even need any chilling. Plus, lots of nutritious…
Cherry Bakewell Smoothie Bowl (aka Dessert for Breakfast!)
It’s January now, so here’s the compulsory ‘healthy’ breakfast recipe. But, just because something’s got some vitamins and goodness inside it, doesn’t mean it’s not allowed to be yummy and taste like pudding. Plus, I’m always on the hunt for sneaky ways to eat dessert for breakfast. New Year, same old me. What’s a smoothie…
Mulled Winter Punch (Non-Alcoholic)
[AdSense-B] This week marks the arrival of the Bath Christmas Market to town. It’s one of the highlights of the festive season for anyone who lives here, and it means that my evenings will be spent meandering between the cute little wooden huts, eating mince pies and drinking hot chocolate. This might be the last Christmas…
Toblerone Hot Chocolate
[AdSense-B] Today’s recipe is served with a side order of sadness. Cue X-Factor style sob-story music. Three Christmases ago something magical happened. I walked into my neighbourhood Starbucks, ready to get myself into the festive spirit and drink something seasonal from one of those gorgeous red cups, and noticed something magical on the menu –…
Candy Cane Chocolate Bark
[AdSense-B] It seems like every baking blog out there has their own recipe for candy cane chocolate bark. It’s pretty much a Christmas staple, and that’s because it: a) is easy to make b) is pretty as hell c) tastes gorgeous and d) makes a really great Christmas gift for anyone who likes chocolate (and…
Rocky Road Chocolate Bark (and How to Temper)
Guess what? In exactly three months’ time, it will be Christmas day! I’ve already started my shopping – I’ve got a whole advent calendar to put together for Katie after all – and I’m about ready to start on my Christmas baking. Mulled wine and a Terry’s chocolate orange in the Sainsbury’s order this weekend!…
Cherry Coconut Macaroons
Enough with the peanut butter! It’s time to get things a little more coconut up in here. Yeah, there’s some cherry in there too. Of course. And wherever there’s cherry, chocolate is not far behind. I’m getting so predictable in my old age. Let’s rewind a minute. These cherry coconut macaroons started out their short…
Peanut Butter Sugar Cookies with Easy Royal Icing
It’s official – autumn starts right here. I’ve started wearing woolly jumpers, the Christmas shopping has begun. Heck, I’ve even gone and bought a new winter coat. There’s something special about this time of year that just gets me so excited for the next few months of cold crisp weather, dark evenings snuggled up under…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
? PEANUT BUTTER ALERT ? Yep, peanut butter is back. This incredible ingredient was most recently seen in my Peanut Butter Overnight Oats, but if you’re on my blog you are never too far away from a peanut butter treat. It’s my wife’s favourite (or is that salted caramel?) and although I’m not a fan of PB…
Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
I’ve got something brand new (well to me, anyway) to share with you all today – my first foray into the world of overnight oats. Yep, although my first instinct was “nobody wants to eat cold porridge”, apparently a lot of people do! And now my wife’s one of them. So get on board the…
Pimm’s Crumble
This Pimm’s Crumble is for the booze lovers. For the people who knock back way too many cocktails on a sunny summer’s day. The ones who head straight for the champagne truffle in that big box of chocolates. We’ve all got that one friend who’s never more than two metres away from a glass of…
Maltesers Cheesecake (No Bake)
No bake cheesecakes are quickly becoming my favourite thing to make this summer. Not only do you not need to go anywhere near a hot oven (which is a godsend in our tiny apartment kitchen), but they are also really quick and easy to put together. The only time-consuming thing here is waiting for the…
Big Batch Cocktails for a Wedding
Summer is here (supposedly) and inevitably, that also means it’s Wedding Season™. We’ve recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary, and that got me thinking about some of the things we made for the wedding that I haven’t got around to sharing with you all yet. Last month I divulged my recipe for the first tier…
Salted Caramel Granola
I’ve got serious granola goals for you today. Totally overbaked salted caramel granola goals. BUT it still tastes good. Easy all-in-one salted caramel, roasted almonds, hazelnuts, and seeds. Oh yeah, and chocolate chips, as always. You can’t have a good breakfast without chocolate. I will live and die by that motto. Well, probably die. [Oh…
Snickers Cheesecake (No Bake)
I’m currently on a one-woman mission to eat all the Snickers bars in a five-mile radius. I did manage to stop myself from eating just five of them, which is conveniently exactly the right amount you’re going to need to make this gorgeous no bake Snickers Cheesecake. I’m obsessed ??? Where do I even start with…
Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Box Cake
So, earlier in the week I let you in on how to make your own chocolate graham crackers. Because, if you live in the UK, you can’t get hold of a graham cracker for love nor money, especially not a chocolate one. And I promised you that I would be sharing with you a recipe…
Homemade Chocolate Graham Crackers
On Thursday I’m going to be bringing you my first ever ice box cake recipe, and to do that, today’s the day I’m going to show you how to make your very own homemade chocolate graham crackers. Because, depending on where you live, you might not have the luxury of being able to pop down…
Creamy Lemon Ice Pops
Possibly the easiest recipe in the whole world coming at you today. Only three ingredients – yogurt, lemons, and a little bit of runny honey. Mix them altogether, wait six hours, and you’ve got yourself some creamy lemon ice pops. So many confessions to make today. Firstly, those aren’t popsicle sticks. I used up the…
Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes
If you’ve been around here before, you might be aware of my undeniable love for cherries and chocolate. Black forest gateaux is my all-time favourite dessert, and I’ve already shared a few choc/cherry recipes with you before, including my chocolate cherry loaf cake, chocolate cherry hot cross buns, and my chocolate cherry mini pavlovas. But…
Ombré Summer Berry Ice Pops
Yep, it’s getting seriously summery around here. On Monday I gave you my Pimm’s Cupcakes, and today I’m turning up the summer sun to 11 with these gorgeous Ombré Summer Berry Ice Pops. They’re beautiful, easy to make, and are packed full of summer berries. So, what are you waiting for? One of my earliest…
Peach Lemonade
It’s the first of July tomorrow so I guess that means we are already half way through 2017. Somehow. The super sunny weather may seem like a distant memory, but I’ve got you covered with the summeriest soft drink around – my gorgeous peach lemonade. Because seriously, what’s more sunshiny than sweet juicy peaches and…
Mojito Cupcakes
Everyone’s favourite cocktail (apart from my wife’s, apparently) in cupcake form! I don’t know about you, but Mojitos just scream summer to me – lots of ice, mint, lime, and a generous helping of rum. Okay, so there might not be any ice in my Mojito Cupcakes, but everything else ‘Mojito’ is here. Rum buttercream…
