Something has happened to my teen. She has emerged from her blankets and is full of chat and hilarity. She’s discovered coffee lately but I have switched everything to decaf in the house so it can’t be the caffeine – unless she has a secret stash in...

Well, after what feels like an extended winter, summer has well and truly arrived. It didn’t really creep in though did it? I feel like I opened the door on May 28 and BAM, summer punched me in the face. I do love the summer though! A big congratul...

Well the kids are back at school, I’m back at work and life is speeding by at 100mph again. I don’t miss running a 24-hour kitchen but oh my goodness, I miss the slower start in the morning. I seem to spend the first hour of my day yelling SHOOOOOOO...

I am ALL about traybakes at the moment! A few weeks ago there was internet fever over a traybake dish involving pasta, tomatoes and a block of feta cheese. I’m not going to tell you more as it’s not very healthy (and so salty!) but it was popular for...

So last week we discussed healthy burgers … I have created a monster in my house as we’re now getting requests every week! Maybe it’s the freezing weather but my kids think it’s the ultimate comfort food! I’m happy to oblige but we’re rotating grass...
