The best Carrot cake
We made this for our comic relief cake off, it disappeared super fast! 🙂 Delicious, moist and light… what more could you ask for?!
Homemade Lasagne
This is a big favourite of ours, if you make it yourself you know exactly what’s in it too, so it can actually be fairly healthy. It can take a bit of time to put together so make extra as it freezes well, then you have a ready made meal for a busy day. 🙂
Pear and chocolate cake
A delicious combination, use fair trade ingredients if you can it really does make a difference. 🙂
Fair trade chocolate brownies
By using fair trade ingredients for this recipe, you are making a difference. So enjoy your tasty treat with a happy conscience!
Easy Roux, white sauce (Bechamel sauce), and cheese sauce (Mornay sauce)
This is an easy sauce to make for so many different things, macaroni cheese, lasagne, fish pie, cooking fish… all sorts! You can freeze the roux or keep it in the fridge for a few days if you make extra too. The sauce will keep in the fridge for a couple of days too.
Homemade Mince meat and mince pies
These are delicious, so much better than shop bought! Happy Christmas. 🙂 You can even give this lovely mincemeat as gifts for Christmas, a great addition to any Chrsitmas hamper!
Easy shortcrust dessert pastry
This is a quick and easy way to make a sweet shortcrust pastry for mince pies, jam tarts and other tasty treats. You can make this and keep it in the fridge for a couple of days, or freeze it until you need it.
Oaty Banana and Nutella Muffins
These deliciously perfect muffins are a tasty and relatively healthy wee snack or pudding! We had them warm from the oven and they really were gorgeous! I made them with the kids whilst their dinner cooled, and popped them in the oven whilst we ate, so really quick and easy too. The recipe uses ripe bananas, so a great way to use any that need eaten. Enjoy!
