I've recently rediscovered lamb, as an alternative meat. Lamb isn't a cheap meat to buy, but tends to be a quality meat so worth the extra spend. It's amazing slow-cooked, with great flavour and texture. A really satisfying dish during the cold winter months. It's also a hit with my Kids, who for some reason aren't overly keen on chicken at the ...

The Simple Christmas Guide – Christmas Dinner Part 2
I love food and I love Christmas! The magic of a home-cooked Christmas Dinner (in my opinion) isn't elaborate food on a plate... it's the company that it is eaten in.

Let it Snow! I woke up this morning to 2 very awake children jumping all over my bed and a light dusting of snow outside. The perfect wake up call on both counts. I love the snow, and I love my kids more than words can say. Those following this blog will know I grocery shop online, and there was a delivery due this morning. Another fantastic reason for ...
