Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Treats BBC2 here! We know that Max can smell out peanut butter wherever he is. When I have some on toast in the morning he is my new best friend! So with that in mind I made him these treats and he, his brother Teddy and their friends seem to … Continue reading
Lamb Toad in the Hole Here is a little twist on sausage toad in the hole. You can also use this batter mix to make individual Yorkshire puddings in a muffin tin for the freezer, so you always have them on hand instead of buying them at the supermarket and trying to get them home … Continue reading
Old Fashioned Baked Rice Pudding Hi guy’s BBC2 here, we were asked by thesailorswoman if we had a recipe for baked rice pudding, a thing that takes me back to my childhood. I have never made one before so set about looking up different recipes and putting my own spin on the dish. Well, as … Continue reading
Creamy Leek & Veggie Pasta Hello lovely people, BBC1 here! This dish brings back fond memories for me. It came about from one of those late nights clubbing with friends and being ravenous when you get home, only to find that all you have a is couple of ingredients in the fridge/larder! I was reminded … Continue reading
Twice Baked Walnut & Chocolate Chip Cookies BBC2 seems determined for me to put back some of the two stones of weight I lost recently and here is his latest ploy: I know it can be a bit of extra work but they are worth it, if you like a sweet crispy biscuit. Ingredients: 60g/2 … Continue reading
Alice Spaghetti Children love this cheap and cheerful one pot dish. I made it for our godchildren and the eight year old proclaimed “this is great, it’s just like real spaghetti!”. They asked what cook book it was in and I had to explain it is something my mum used to make. So the children … Continue reading
Sardine Dog Treats I am not saying that our dog, Max, is a “pampered pooch” but he is BBC2’s first ever pet and they adore each other. So much so that they are almost inseparable. Since reading somewhere that puppies teethe twice and that ice cubes helped them cool down and soothe the pain of … Continue reading
British Bacon Cheeseburger Bites (BBCB’s!) BBC1 here and I just wanted to say that whilst looking at all the wonderful foodie blogs across the Internet I have come across some wonderful recipes and ideas. I have found it both educational and inspirational, if only I would remember to bookmark! I remember seeing a recipe the … Continue reading
Curried Beef Tartlets BBC2 made these and a mushroom tartlet in an experiment a couple of weeks ago. Whilst the mushroom ones were “OK” these were extremely more-ish and I have been nagging him to do them again because I enjoyed them so much. He finally got around to doing them again today and even … Continue reading
Like most of us “foodie nerds” BBC2 does like to make things he hasn’t made before and a couple of years ago he tried his hand at the dreaded cheese soufflé. These were ok, but he wasn’t satisfied and came across a recipe for twice baked soufflés and he hasn’t looked back since. He normally … Continue reading
This was inspired by Milton’s mom Ms. Jenny’s Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, it got me thinking I know BBC1 likes coconut sponge and the two flavours go together so lets try… Ingredients: 425g/14 oz tin of Pineapple rings 110g/4oz self-raising flour 1 teaspoon of baking powder 110g/4oz soft butter 110g/4oz caster sugar 2 large eggs 25g/1oz … Continue reading
Ms. Jenny’s Pineapple Upside Down Cake My good buddy Milton, from the US of A, kindly shared another of his mom’s recipes along with the photo above. Unfortunately we can’t get the cake mixture in the UK, as far as I am aware, but it did get us thinking and it inspired BBC2 to come … Continue reading
Strawberry Tartlets BBC 2 has been at it again. This time indulging his sweet tooth, and I think inspired by the Great British Bake Off’s desert episode from last week! But I must say, even though I am more savoury than sweet, these were totally delicious. Scoffed them down! Also hope to post another of … Continue reading
Facebook gets a lot of bad press at times but today I’m loving it! By playing games on the site I have become friends with people from all across the world. One of them is my good buddy Milton, in good old US of A! Last night he posted the glorious photo above and I … Continue reading
