Halloween is almost upon us and I have been coming up with some spooky snack ideas for the kids and just had to share these Halloween monster burgers with you guys! They were so easy to make and look great. The girls loved them and I think they are the perfect halloween party food. This is the super easy burger recipe I use to make my burgers. Of corse these could be substituted for veggie burgers if you wanted too. Homemade burger recipe 500g lean beef mince 1 small onion (diced small) 1 egg To serve Burger buns Cheese Cherry…

Catching up with friends over brunch on the weekend is one of my favourite things to do. I love a decent breakfast particularly when I haven’t had to cook it myself, you just can’t beat it. A couple of weeks back I was invited to The Real Eating Company with the Bournemouth Bloggers to try out the menu. As always I jumped at the chance to chat all things blogging with the guys. Blogging is such a solo mission it’s great to have friends that are doing the same thing to bounce ideas off. The Real Eating Company is an…

As far as combinations go Prosecco and Pizza has got to be up there with one of the best man-made matches of recent years.  Pizza has always been a firm favourite in my life but combining it with bubbles just makes it even better. La Piccola Italia invited me and the rest of the Bournemouth Bloggers gang down to sample their new Bottomless Prosecco Brunch; of corse I wasn’t going to miss this! La Piccola Italia host their Bottomless Prosecco Brunch every Saturday between 12-5pm, they provide 90 minutes of unlimited prosecco and dining for just £25 per person. I’ve…

Dinner time in our house is always one of my favourite moments in the day. I get to step away from the screens at work and home, I put on some music and I enjoy pottering about creating something delicious for my family. We then sit together, have a good chat about the day gone by and the girls usually start sharing the latest inappropriate jokes they’ve picked up! It’s OUR time and as my girls get older and more independent it’s the time I truly treasure the most. With that in mind I wanted to share one of my…

Cooking has always been one of my favourite activities. There’s something about finally reaching the end of a hectic day and just getting lost in the kitchen. In my house we have music on, ingredients everywhere and kids joining in. I find it so therapeutic; getting to finally sit down and have some decent food after is also a huge bonus. Since going back to work a couple of months ago I have found myself cooking the same dishes over and over or even diving into the freezer stash more than I would like. When Sacla’ recently sent me their…

Milk; always at the top of the shopping list, always the item we seem to get through first. The girls love a glass of milk throughout the day and I love a splash in my coffee. It’s one of those items I’ve picked up each week for years. Never really giving much thought as to where it comes from. Until recently that is; I have started to look into where my food and drink is grown and produced lately and our milk has been no different. The swap to Arla Organic Free Range Milk was one of the first changes I made…

It might be early in the season, but the UK is already having a summer that beats previous years hands down. Nothing says summer more than a BBQ party with friends. But playing host can be stressful.
