Family Friendly Recipes Anyone Can Make at Home
I have been meaning to write about family mealtimes for ages and when I started thinking about Lottie and how she eats now, I found that one of the main problems I have at the moment is the fact that I am now cooking 2 hot meals every day at different times. This is fine when I have time to but more often than not, I don’t get chance to and I don’t always have a load of previously cooked meals in the freezer ready to whip out when I need one. We are always looking for family friendly recipes. Family Friendly Recipes Lottie is eating pretty much everything now…

Jane Plan’s Diet Delivery Service
Usual followers of my blog will know that at the moment, I’m really interested in dieting and whether following a set diet plan will be sustainable long-term or as soon as you finish them, you just pile the weight back on. I also don’t really diet and you can read about my love of food here! I have previously worked with diet brands so I was really pleased when Jane Plan responded to my emails about working with me. This was my first time approaching a brand directly (they normally come to me) so I think I babbled quite a bit the first time I spoke to Jane! However Jane…

Stunning Summer Cocktails with Hayman’s Gin
It is no secret that I love cocktails! I always have done and especially love prosecco cocktails however it wasn’t until I attended the Notts Cocktails Blogger event that I discovered I really like gin cocktails!

One of my favourite kitchen appliances to use when cooking dinner is my slow cooker. I used to think it was only for stews and casseroles but over the past few months I have started to make lots of dinners for us in the slow cooker. I’m a convert! A great family friendly meal. Perfect for batch cooking, this tasty, full of flavour curry is a fab weekend treat!

Chicken Fajitas and Rice with Schwartz Cajun Seasoning
We have been home cooking our dinners and the kid’s dinners for a while now. Don’t get me wrong, we have takeaways and ‘freezer’ days, but we are lucky that we both love to cook, and I really don’t mind spending an hour every afternoon cooking for us all. We also do a lot of batch cooking which is really useful for weeks where money is either a bit tight, we don’t have time to cook for whatever reason or just to use for lunches the next day! Our most loved and favourite meals are by no means complicated! They are easy, take under 45 minutes to make and can…
