I always seem to struggle when it comes to biscuit week as I don’t really make many biscuits; I did very briefly consider the technical challenge but then I decided against it as I haven’t had a lot of time this week and this bake was actually only just done at 10.30pm on Saturday evening! I have had a jar of Peanut Hottie for ages and for that whole amount of time I have been meaning to make these cookies, so I used biscuit week as the opportunity to finally get around to it! The cookies have just the right amount of peanut …
Slimming World weigh in #28 – the one with the missing weeks…
You may have noticed I have been MIA for the last few weeks. I’ve had a lot going on and had a little blogging break but I have still been going to weigh in – with the exception of one week. Anyway, I’ve been so up & down with being on plan, pretty much like a yo-yo! I lost my appetite for a while and was barely eating anything but then it started coming back and I was back in the game for a few days but then I went off track again for various reasons and was either eating …
Recipe – Black forest cheesecake (with a twist) #GBBOBloggers2015
I’m so excited that it’s the return of the Great Bloggers Bake Off! Jenny over at Mummy Mishaps did a wonderful job of hosting last year but this year she is handing the reins over to some other bloggers to guest host too and one of them will be me in a few weeks, eek! I’m very determined to add to my badge from last year for my salted caramel & chocolate tart, but we shall see. 😉 So the first week of the Great British Bake Off was cake week as per usual, and I was absolutely drooling over the black forest …
Meaty conchiglie pasta bake | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Pasta is a firm favourite in our household and we tend to eat it at least once a week – even better that it’s ‘free’ on Slimming World so I can eat as much as I like! (The dried version anyway). A couple of months ago I received some vouchers from Tesco to purchase some of their ‘finest’ pasta and I bought some large conchiglie pasta shells. I was going to stuff and then bake them but in the end I just went for this fuss free pasta bake. Totally delicious and very low syn on Slimming World!* Ingredients (serves …
Little man J at 3 years 3 months old
Yet again I’m late with this update as yet again it’s almost time for the next one, in another week. J & his brother are totally siphoning my energy at the moment so I just can’t keep up. Never mind! I’ve posted before how he had behavioural problems at nursery but recently he has been getting a good report when I collect him; I’m thinking maybe the Pitstop we have been attending has done some magic on him, but then I think well he is pretty much still just the same at home! Maybe they are dealing better with him than I …
