Ioan has just this week decided that the bath is something to be feared, and so I am now unable to write my blog posts from the bathroom whilst I watch him play. Oh well, it was a good couple of weeks while it lasted, and I am hoping to keep blogging now I have […]
Menu planning with my new cookbook ‘Get your kids to eat anything’
My food blogger pal Emily Leary, who writes a fantastic blog called A Mummy Too, recently published a cookbook called ‘Get your kids to eat anything‘, and kindly sent me a copy to review. It couldn’t come at a better time, as Ioan has literally this week started to test boundaries at the dining table. […]
Bob Bob Ricard, London (review)
This weekend, my mum friends and I had a longstanding date with Paris. We were going to leave the kids at home with their dads and take an early train to Paris, spend the day eating, drinking and eating and drinking (with maybe a bit more eating and drinking thrown in), relishing the freedom of […]
Working through ‘International Women’s Day’ week
Guess what? The leek lasagne failed to make the cut again last week, and takeaway ended up being our menu option of choice a couple of times. I definitely will get around to making it sometime soon, as it sounds delicious, but the prep time needs to be factored in to when I have a […]

South East Asian inspired tofu noodle salad (Vegan, Gluten Free)
This South East Asian inspired tofu noodle salad is a great meal-prep packed lunch: full of silky noodles, crunchy vegetables, chewy tofu and a zing from the lime juice and coriander. I am not generally a fan of tofu: mainly because it doesn’t taste of anything and the texture is a bit weird – it […]

Meal planning during a hectic couple of weeks
Last week ended up not being entirely to plan: leek lasagne turned into Spag Bol (Quorn version for my vegetarian brother); I let the potatoes over-boil on Thursday and the mashed potato was too salty, leaving them inedible; and a little accident for Ioan on Friday (bashing his mouth, leading to a chipped front tooth) […]
GBBO week 10 – doughnuts
Okay, I know the Great British Bake Off 2018 finished LAST YEAR, but as you will have noticed, I am not blogging as regularly as usual at the moment, thanks to work and motherhood getting in the way of this lovely blog. However, last year I did complete my challenge of undertaking a Bake Off […]
Meal planning Monday, and some St David’s Day recipes
*For St David’s Day recipes, scroll directly to the bottom of this post* I have had a minor revelation and discovered the best way to find time to blog is to do it in the ‘dead time’ I have every Sunday evening when Ioan has a long soak in the bath before bed. He likes […]

Baking double chocolate cookies with a toddler – a photo guide
The other day, when Ioan and I were at home together and it was freezing cold and starting to snow outside, I decided that instead of venturing out, I’d bake some cookies with him. Call it greedy, call it fortunate, but there is rarely a basic baking recipe where all the ingredients aren’t already in […]
