Recipe - Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are fab!  They came out a perfect shape, tasted good and this recipe makes a whole load of them, which is needed when you have constantly hungry kids!

This recipe makes approx 48 medium sized cookies.

Recipe - Spinach Pesto Pasta

Fancy something healthy?!  Then try this gorgeously green Spinach Pesto Pasta.

This is a gorgeously healthy recipe which I found on rachelscraftcorner, and I've adapted it slightly to feed five as opposed to the recipe which was for one, and I also added extra spinach. 

Recipe - Devil's Food Chocolate Cake with Stencil Decoration

My son went back to Uni this week and as a parting treat I made a rich Devil's Food Chocolate Cake which I decorated using a Tando Creative stencil and icing sugar on the top.

 

Such a simple thing to do but it does look fab! 

Tando Creative do a couple of larger stencils which are ideal to decorate a basic 8" cake - I used the Andy Skinner-Sunburst mask but you could also use the Andy Skinner-Tornado or maybe the Giovanna-8" Doilie. 

Recipe - Strawberry Jam

When British Strawberries are in season don't buy jam....make your own!

Last year was the first time I had made jam and I wish I had started earlier in the year to take advantage of the summer fruits, but I didn't think about it until the very end of the strawberry season.  Anyway, when I saw an offer on at the local garden centre for a large pan I thought I would give it a go.

Recipe - Lemon Semolina Cake

I have a thing for lemons lately, absolutely love them.  This is a truly gorgeous cake, very dense and moist, and definately on my 'will do again' list.

Its a recipe from the Peyton and Byrne British Baking book which has a lot of very doable recipes of quintessentially British puds and bakes.
