Here's a blast from last year's past - my Shrove Tuesday posts. Who'd have thunk I've passed a year blogging already?!! Time flies when you're having fun :)
The pancakes in our house would probably be better described as crêpes - light, fluffy and delicious. However, this means they...

And @Gastromama's famous sweet crepes!
My family don’t let me wait until Pancake Tuesday to cook pancakes but the problem is, with a family like mine, I’m standing at the cooker for hours. The Panda Dad and our two sons have hollow legs when it comes to my pancakes.

This Rogan Josh recipe is adapted from a great recipe book, 'Indian - a collection of over 100 essential recipes' by Parragon, which leapt off the shelf and into my basket during one mammoth trek through TK Maxx’s heaving aisles. Yes, I know I need another recipe book like...

Last Saturday I visited the

Well I finally have my new kitchen. And new house. And new mortgage, and new bills, and new government charges, but we'll concentrate on the good news :)
When the
champagne prosecco (it is 2012 after all) bottles finally went in the bin, the wobbly Christmas tree came...

Since I’ve hauled my broke a*s onto the property ladder there has been distinctly less (read: none) money left over for former hobbies. Gone are manicures, regular hair-cuts and er, cook books. Any regular readers (if you exist!) of this little blog will know that it was at one...

I can't believe we're here already. Somehow I blinked and the 'summer' has disappeared, to be replaced by dull, dreary, dishwater skies. Yes, winter's here and as you can tell I'm far from enthused at its arrival. This week I've been eating warming soup for supper, nursing endless cups...
