Today I'm going to share the cheats way to making a batch of super cute unicorn cupcakes!Unicorns are definitely the 'in' thing right now aren't they?I jumped on the bandwagon and made my unicorn fudge, some unicorn bath salts and even some colourful unicorn cookie dough and in my wisdom when I was planning this month's posts, I decided to have a go at making unicorn cupcakes to share with you.My blog post planning process usually takes place once a month and I'll sit down and plan all of the posts I want to share the following month. These are usually random ideas that I haven't … [Read more...]
Basic Quiche Recipe – perfect for using up leftovers….
My basic quiche recipe is one that I learned from my Mam way back when I used to look forward to her baking days which would always consist of the same things - quiche, corned beef pie and a random cake recipe that she would choose from her Be-Ro cookbook each time.My basic quiche recipe is an adapted version of my Mam's, mainly because I don't make my own pastry.I don't do the whole homemade pastry thing usually for a couple of reasons - 1) ready made pastry is about a million times easier for me and b) it's way less mess and c) there are never enough hours in the day for me as it … [Read more...]
Super Refreshing Homemade Mint Lemonade….
Way back in 2014, Miss Frugal amazed me with her homemade mint lemonade recipe which quickly became my favourite Summer drink! I've just made a batch so I thought I'd re-do some of the photos and share the updated version with you again!The original recipe for homemade mint lemonade does include a fair amount of sugar but you can reduce that or use a mix of that and sweetener if you prefer. I find that using five lemons does make the lemonade very tart and it does need that sweetness to counteract that!Today, I only used 3 lemons so halved the sugar and it was lovely - not as … [Read more...]
Homemade Blackberry Vinegar….
Homemade blackberry Vinegar is a great way to use up leftover blackberries, which I always have when we go blackberry picking as we never fail to pick more than we need!I bet you're wondering what blackberry vinegar is though, aren't you?Well, it's nothing fancy, it's literally blackberry infused vinegar but it makes an amazing salad dressing and is said to ward off a cold if you drink a teaspoon a day in hot water when you feel the cold coming on. I can vouch for the first one but the second, I suspect is nothing more than an old wives tale although I'll try anything to stop a … [Read more...]
Garlic Roasted Cherry Tomatoes….
Today I'm sharing my new favourite recipe - Garlic roasted cherry tomatoes!I briefly mentioned in last Friday's Five Frugal Things post that I was going to share this recipe for garlic roasted cherry tomatoes with you today and I actually had two emails over the weekend asking for a sneak peek which was lovely and I was happy to share as the recipe was needed for a batch cooking session and a BBQ so today would have obviously been a bit late for both ladies. ;-)I think I said in my post that the tasty garlic roasted cherry tomatoes would be great on a pizza, amazing stirred through … [Read more...]
#LoveYourLeftovers- Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Baked Potatoes….
I've shared my recipe for slow cooker pulled pork a good five and a half years ago now and over the years, it's become a firm family favourite that regularly features on our meal plan.Last Friday, I bought a big piece of pork shoulder from Morrisons and made a big batch of slow cooker pulled pork which we had for tea in yellow stickered brioche buns (from M&S no less) with some Potato wedges from the freezer.I wasn't around for tea on Saturday night but I did leave instructions for Mr Frugal to make a batch of homemade pizza dough to make pizza for tea, which he did after much … [Read more...]
