Using Up Stale Bread – Spiced Apple Pudding Recipe

September 2, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

Today is the start of Zero Waste Week 2013. What better way to kick it off than with a tasty, frugal recipe that uses up potential waste.

“Good Enough” Chocolate Fudge Cake Recipe

May 16, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

They say perfect is the enemy of good. My chocolate fudge cake recipe is good enough, it's not perfect. It isn't the Nigella recipe that I have followed countless times over the years. (Can you see the chocolate smudges? That's the sign of a good cookbook - actual food remnants on the page.) These days, as my confidence in the kitchen and culinary ...
