Day 1 of half term. The boys weren’t happy about being carted along to Slimming World with me, but I was determined to go being my second week back 😬 (6.5lbs off this week incase you’re wondering 🙌🏻 still quite a way to go thou 🤪 but does really work - not sponsored I might add - I wish). Anyway, they cheered up considerably when we won the raffle prize 😀 a selection of egg gadgets and a box of eggs! 🍳 The rest of the morning was spent eggsperimenting with them, which you can check out on my stories. Sharing an eggy recipe which is perfect for half term - mini quiches with a ham crust. Great for making with kids and also perfect for Slimming World with just a few tweaks. Link in bio if you fancy giving them a go 👆🏻
Feeling a bit nostalgic seeing all the Valentine’s Day posts so thought I’d share one too. No iPhones then or creative photographers but I sure was skinny. My dress was a size 8 and it had to be taken in a bit - looking back I wish I’d worn a badge that said that on the day. Tonight I’m cooking steak and veggies in frylight cos I’m back on @slimmingworld 😂 more on stories if you’re interested. I remember when Rich put that ring on my finger, I was so chuffed to be married to him. I really loved him that day, but I actually love him so more now. He really is a one in a million, if you know him you’ll know what a gem he is. Happy Valentine’s Day @richardakay who isn’t on Instagram that much. There’s no one else I’d rather eat steak and drink Diet Coke with #valentinesday2019 #iwasskinny #istillmoanedevenwheniwasskinny
Chocolate orange hazelnut nut brownie cake for one of my BFF’s bdays today 🙌🏻 Love you so much @dindindies xxx
Crazy birthday weekend 🤪 one happy little 8 year old (how is Daniel 8? I’m sure he’s actually 3). Sharing this recipe for one step creamy turkey bake which has just 15 mins prep and then you chuck it in the oven and serve with some steamed new potatoes or rice. Fresh turkey is ace in my book, but it works with chicken too. Link in bio if you fancy a quick, yummy and healthy dinner tonight 😋
Daniels bonfire & baking party today! Bit crazy but so much fun! Another cake for the occasion - Lego bonfire cake with toasted marshmallows. The fire was made out of melted boiled sweets and matchmakers. The rubble was hazelnut praline. Cake was chocolate. Topper was @dindindies 😀
Hot chocolate cake - inspired by hot chocolate topped with marshmallows - for my little Daniels 8th Birthday today! 4 layers of chocolate sponge (adding boiling water is the trick to a moist sponge made with cocoa powder) sandwiched and coated with dark chocolate ganache topped with homemade marshmallows. Recipe for marshmallows from @theflavorbender - the most amazing foolproof guide 🙌🏻 worked like a charm. Homemade marshmallows are my new fave thing, absolutely another level in confectionary. Toasted them lightly with my blowtorch - I love blowtorches 😀😀😀 Love the simplicity of this cake and the dark brown against the white. Birthday boy loved it too 👦🏻
My little Daniel is 8 today 👦🏻 made him a super special cake decorated with homemade marshmallows which are next level 🤪 More photos to come, just got soooo much love for this gorgeous silver wooden bespoke topper from @dindindies which is also next level 🤪 not an ad, just looooove 🙌🏻 #dindindies #dindindiestoppers
Have been super poorly the last two days with some bug I must have picked up from one of the kids. Literally in-bed-the-whole-time poorly, unable to take care of myself, let alone kiddos. Had such a bad headache I could barely even look at my phone (I know right). I’m so grateful to be feeling a bit better tonight - it’s amazing how much you appreciate being well when you have been poorly. Completely unrelated, posting this photo of some Broa which I made the other week. Broa is a traditional Portuguese bread made from corn. It was originally made in areas where wheat didn’t grow very well, like where my dad was born and raised - he said wheat bread was a treat for them and it was rare! If you go to Portugal now you can get Broa in the supermarkets and bakeries - they call it artisan bread which my dad finds quite amusing. I bake this occasionally and it’s amazing with soups and stews like caldo verde (made with potatoes and kale). Me and my sis adore it, it’s a massive treat for us. Broa has a hard crust and the inside is kind of cakey and dense. Is you ever get the chance, try it. My dad was raised on this. Don’t have the recipe on my blog, I found it online somewhere..... let me know if you’re interested.
