Earlier this week, I blogged about my Meal Plan for the week and so decided to share my recipe for tonight’s dinner. This dish is a real winter warmer and such a comforting recipe for a cold evening. Unfortunately, O won’t touch it as he’s a bit picky with meat, but I’m sure he’ll love… Read More
I thought I’d join in with At Home with Mrs M with this week’s Meal Planning Monday linky. It’s something that I used to do a lot of but since our holiday in June, I’ve really struggled to get back into the swing of it! But with Christmas around the corner, the purse strings will be tighter… Read More
A couple of weeks ago, I shared the success of our Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. We did exceptionally well, raising an awful lot of money for a very worthy cause. We were inundated with donated cakes and I had baked some of my very own specialities – the very awesome and extremely indulgent Ultimate… Read More
It really saddens me to hear of parents taking their children for fast food meals every week as a “treat”. If O didn’t have grandparents that regularly looked after him whilst I’m working, he would have yet to set foot in a McDonald’s “restaurant”. I’m not a food angel by any means. From time to… Read More
After our visit to Simon Rogan’s Pop up Restaurant, we caught the park and ride bus down into the town centre to have a walk around the markets and see what local produce was on offer. Stalls ranging from locally brewed ales to locally produced cheese, local fishmongers and butchers with a huge variety of… Read More
The last weekend in September means Taste of Cumbria Festival in Cockermouth, Cumbria. Seeing as I live not too far away, we have attended the festival every year since the first event in 2009. It’s a great showcase of local food produce, drinks and kitchenware there are produced and manufactured locally. THE Simon Rogan, of… Read More
O’s birthday was the day after his soft play party. We didn’t really want to pay for a huge cake to be eaten by a load of kids we didn’t really know and then have nothing left for his actual birthday, so I came up with a master plan! I am quite partial to a… Read More
hi all, meal planning is something that i’ve done for some time now. i find that it helps to save money on grocery bills and i can plan my meals around the things we have going on in the week. i’m sure there used to be a link up for these sorts of posts? if… Read More
This is our second attempt at meal planning Monday, with probably a few of the same meals! Saturday night last week turned into a takeaway night as I was at a friends birthday party and yesterday’s Sausage & mash was replaced with a traditional Sunday roast chicken dinner. So we’ve kept the gammon & the… Read More
Good morning, all you lovely folks. How was your weekend? Our weekend was quite quiet as most of our family are away either holidaying or mini-honeymooning! We spent Saturday morning doing the weekly grocery shop at Aldi in preparation for the week ahead. Saturday afternoon saw a visit from A’s sister, brother-in-law and 3 year… Read More
