Master Frugal asked if we could do some baking this weekend so we decided to make some biscuits using our easy biscuit recipe that we've been using since the kids were first old enough to help make them.Making the biscuit mix is the easy part - the hard part is choosing which of our many cookie cutters we should use....The super easy biscuit recipe we use is one I first shared on here in 2009 just after I'd started blogging and it remains our favourite recipe because of how easy it is and how tasty the finished results always are. I'm sharing it again because (a) it's been a long … [Read more...]
Strawberry lemonade Kool Aid cupcakes!….
We have a shop near us that sells American sweets and a couple of weeks ago, there was much excitement from the kids (and maybe me) when they started to stock Kool Aid drinks sachets. They weren't expensive so we stocked up on some flavours thinking we'd be back for more in no time - we bought strawberry lemonade, grape, pineapple, lemonade and one I can't remember the flavour of but I know it was bright green when we made it up.When we started to make the first one I was more than a little horrified at the amount of sugar you have to put in! For a small sachet of Kool Aid … [Read more...]

Super Easy Homemade Breadsticks Recipe….
I'm feeling like a bit of a domestic goddess this morning as I have some homemade breadsticks baking in the oven ready to serve at lunchtime with homemade leek and potato soup. I also have a super tidy house and a wash in the washing machine!I could lie and tell you that it's my amazing organisational and culinary skills but it's so not! The tidy house is because Miss Frugal did one her big house cleans for me last night as I was working late, the wash was sorted and put in the machine on Wednesday but then I forgot all about it so I'm just getting around to actually switching the … [Read more...]

Christmas Lemon and Ginger Cupcakes….
One of the tastes that I associate most with this time of year is Ginger.It's lovely warming taste and spicy smell makes me feel instantly Christmassy and as a family, we usually make a gingerbread house to decorate early in December and closer to Christmas we'll make some little gingerbread decorations for the top part of the tree (any food on the lower branches is claimed by Buddy usually).I thought about making a ginger caked today but I had some lemons to use up so I made some yummy lemon and ginger cupcakes instead. The tang of the lemon flavour goes brilliantly with the warmth … [Read more...]
