Recipe – Lemon Yoghurt Cake with Fresh Raspberries and Lemon Laced Cream
As soon as I heard from Megan that two of our fellow blogging ladies, Laura & Shannon had proposed the idea of The Great Blogger Bake Off. Being such a huge fan of The Great British Bake Off, and of course, baking.. I had to join in! The Great Blogger Bake Off is in no way a competition, during the week running up to the episode date we all bake something that fits in with the shows theme.. this week it is cake so we all bake cakes. Then we share our creations on the Facebook page, Instagram & Twitter using the #TheGreatBloggerBakeOff tag. So this afternoon (as I got…

Summer Recipes with Baking Mad
The other week I was sent a hamper of goodies c/o Baking Mad which was actually perfect timing as it was my sister’s birthday the following week. I am the chief cake baker in the family and I always try to do something different for each birthday. My dad had chocolate and salted caramel, my mum had sponge and fresh berries and for my sister, since her birthday is in July, I’d planned on making her an ice cream themed cake! I don’t have a recipe to share with you all since to achieve my ice cream masterpiece I actually mashed together quite a few recipes from Baking Mad’s summer…

5 Focuses for Healthy Weightloss I Need to Stick To*
After my disappointment of maintaining my weight over the last two weeks I have decided I really need to pick myself up and get focused again. I keep telling myself over and over again I can do this, I just need to knuckle down and be strict. I have shed the weight before and I can do it again. As last time I shared very little about my weight loss apart from the occasional update of what I was up to or if I had a big week of loosing, and a few recipes.. this time I’m trying to be a lot more up front with my highs and lows.…

Disney in Details – Where Amy Ate, Disneyland Paris Edition
Welcome to Disney in Details, Disneyland Paris, post four of five! This time I’m going to be telling you all about eating in Disneyland, so basically a DLP edition of Where Amy Ate. We haven’t had one of those in a while, huh? Before I went the one thing everyone kept on telling me about Disneyland Paris was just how expensive it was to eat there. Although I was told the same when I went to Paris and I personally didn’t find it anymore expensive than eating out in London. Anyway, I had prepared myself and now that I’m back I can see that they were both right and wrong.…

The Maison Maille Culinary Blogger Challenge
Back in March I was contacted about a Culinary Challenge hosted by the people over at Maille. They were offering to send bloggers a couple of their products that would be used in original recipes as part of a competition. The winning entry, chosen by a panel of judges, would win a fantastic Food Lover London tour for two, valued at over £390 and the runners up will win a luxury hamper worth over £100. For me, any chance to win a trip to London in relation to food was enough to get my brain whirling with possible winning ideas. So I accepted and it took me a good six…

Where Amy Ate – The City Cafe, Edinburgh
I can’t believe the last Where Amy Ate was my Paris Edition! That shows how little I have been eating out, or at least remembering to take photos when I eat out. With saving like mad so I have a good amount of spending money for my holidays, eating out is now limited to Cafe Nero or the cafe in Asda! And I’m pretty sure neither of them need to be reviewed. I love eating out too, but since i’m going to be eating abroad for 2 weeks of the year, I figured i’ll have lot of places to talk about then. Anyway, last month when the lovely Hayley of…
