cheesy roasted root pie
Tonight the flurry of snow started again in Brussels, just as the last of the weekends snowstorm had melted in the garden, we were blessed with more blasting cold air and wintery weather. Luckily I had postponed my planned ‘making of’ this wonderful winter pie until tonight, as the bad weather combined with my under … Continue reading
Happy Banana Bread Day!
I’m just in time with this post to help celebrate National Banana Bread Day.! (yes seriously!!) Tomorrow, 23rd February, in the US and all banana loving corners of the world, Mums will be out there waiting for their bowls of bananas to blacken, ready to bake the latest and most unusual versions. I’ve been converted … Continue reading
Fab Fridays……. Carrot cake
After such an early 5am start, with snow on the ground that had melted by the time anyone sane had got out of bed, it was only right to quickly whip up a cake before school and work started, to finish off the week in the way that I had started it. After all, 2 … Continue reading
Gooey Blueberry and Banana Muffins…… mmmm Monday!
I’m super excited to bring you such a yummy muffin recipe on a Monday. I often bookmark stuff to do, drool over or create, on my Springpad and Pinterest accounts. I love Springpad for saving all the recipes or articles I find while trawling the net, and Pinterest for all things visual. But to be … Continue reading
The kids go bananas over……
I swear the kids deliberately leave bananas to over-ripen in the fruit bowl, just so Mum can whip up some muffins with chocolate chips. These are a big hit in the lunchbox (if they last until morning that is!) and caused huge sulks last week, after a super early morning bake, when I took 6 … Continue reading
perfect pumpkin bread…….
Ok time to play catch up. Sorry for the silence over the last two months but life has been swim crazy and those posts have stayed firmly in my head rather than safely ‘wordpressed’ on my laptop. Time to make amends, especially as now the wifi seems stable, D the nocturnal geek has upgraded the … Continue reading
Janine’s baked salmon…. with a goats cheese and sundried tomato crust
I’m thinking a lot about my Brit’any pal Janine this week, as she prepares her son George for local boarding school. It’s only up the road and not a posh ‘public’ school, just a great one that is way way way oversubscribed. And in the mad lottery postcode set up of the UK, if you … Continue reading
Do not Crumble! 5 other things to do with Gooseberries…..
I have to admit, I was a little over enthusiastic about the picking gooseberries at the weekend, and had overlooked the fact, that on my return to Brussels, I would have to spend hours and hours, boiling, pickling and jarring it all up. All this at a time when I should have been cheering on … Continue reading
Yummy scrummy carrot cake
Next it was the turn of the humble carrot to be transformed into a lunch box special, and with such a fabulous recipe name I couldn’t resist giving this one a go. It was a huge hit with Thila, too much like Christmas cake for Inigo, and scoffed in the office. It’s a recipe that … Continue reading
Rhubarb crumble muffins
I spent Monday night clearing the fridge of the contents from last weeks bio box delivery, after all it seems such a waste to let the fruit and vegetables sit uneaten. I just love the challenge it gives me to research ingredients and look at suggested seasonal recipes on the internet. I hit gold … Continue reading
