See what I did there with the title. ;-) I wanted to make some fancy Easter cupcakes to share with you today - the plan was that would wow you with my cooking prowess but the reality was very different. The cakes didn't look anything like they were meant to so I thought I'd share a few easy Easter cupcake ideas with you instead.Now, these ideas aren't necessarily Pinterest worthy but they taste amazing, they're easy to make and they have a definite Easter theme so let's just go with it...First up, the recipe I use for my cupcakes (they're all chocolate today) is a simple one that I … [Read more...]
Healthy Oat Pancakes….
It's pancake day tomorrow so I thought I'd share my healthy oat pancakes with you just in case you fancy a healthy option tomorrow!Wherever possible, we keep Sunday aside as a family day where we spend some quality time together seeing as we seem to spend less and less time together during the week now that the kids are older and have different priorities (in no particular order: football, makeup, snapchat, friends and Fifa).We start the day together with a family breakfast although to be fair, we could call it brunch seeing as it's usually almost lunchtime by the time the kids … [Read more...]
Candy Cane Spoons….
I am so pleased with the way my candy cane spoons turned out! It's so rare that something I make actually turns out looking the way I pictured it in my head but these cute little spoons not only did that, they actually looked even better than I imagined!How to make Candy Cane Spoons I bought my spoon mould from Amazon (similar here) and my candy canes are just from Morrisons although I've had a bit of a nightmare getting red and white striped ones as Asda had none in and Sainsburys have a green stripe as well as a red one which I didn't want.Preheat your oven to about 160 c.The … [Read more...]
Hot Chocolate Stirring Stick….
This cute little hot chocolate stirring stick is so cute for this time of year - there's nothing better after a long walk in the cold than coming home to a lovely hot chocolate and stirring it with one of these yummy stirring sticks!They're so easy to make but look fab and when the kids have friends round, they all absolutely LOVE the novelty of these. How to make a Hot Chocolate Stirring Stick What you use is pretty flexible depending on what you have, this time I used some white chocolate star sprinkles, some mini marshmallows and half a leftover bar of dark cooking chocolate but … [Read more...]
Quick and Easy Jelly Gummy Bears….
Today we're sharing out tried and tested (and re-tested) version of jelly gummy bears (and some syn free gummy sweets using the same recipe) along with a slightly embarrassing Pinterest fail version of their American cousins.The last time I made these I made Pink Prosecco jelly gummy bears and they were amazing....My children are obsessed with anything American - be it sweets, food or make-up (that last one is just Miss Frugal obviously ;-)) so when we found ourselves with a box of Jell-O they knew exactly what they were going to make - Jell-O Gummy … [Read more...]
Yummy Avocado Brownies….
Miss Frugal has gone avocado mad lately and would have Avocado toast for every meal if I let her. When we found ourselves with a bit of an avocado overload last weekend, we decided to switch it up a bit and make avocado brownies!First of all, I want to tell you how we ended up with so many avocados because we all know that they're not a particularly cheap thing to buy. Morrisons have started selling wonky fruit and vegetables and I found a pack of wonky avocados which had about five for £1.56 so I bought a pack but forgot we already had a two pack at home.We've been meaning to … [Read more...]
