Recipe No.23 Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies
I wasn’t actually going to blog tonight, or tomorrow for that matter because I have my two fav girls from university coming to stay to celebrate my birthday (part one of it anyway). They’re still half an hour away so I thought I’d quickly share this recipe with you. The reason this recipe is gluten free is because I took part in a gluten free week, following a diet put together by Ilumi to help boost energy and clear up my skin. However, there were no desserts in it, and I need my desserts so after a bit of browsing through my cookbooks I came across a Nigella recipe for…

Blogger Eating In Cook Off Challenge
When I was contacted asking if I’d like to take part in a Blogger Cook Off Challenge I jumped at the chance. I LOVE cook off challenges and this seemed right up my street. Anyway, for a bit of background information, the Kick My Habits research with Leeds Building Society shows that the average Brit spends £17.34 per week on eating out which racks up to an amazing £901.68! My challenge is to create a fun meal in for £10, saving myself £7.34 which over a year would mean an extra £382 in my pocket (to spend on other things of course!) Even though I have a kid and don’t…

Recipe No. 22 Ham & Cheese Mini Muffins
I’m not really sure what has been wrong with me tonight, but I’ve been in a right sorting out mood. I’ve gone through all my drawers and little nooks, throwing out stuff and rearranging. I feel so much better for it too! I started upstairs this morning and then this evening I tackled downstairs. I have a whole new pile to sell on eBay next month and a load of recycling to go into the bin tomorrow. If I wasn’t on a spending ban I’d be ordering bits and pieces to finish off my house, yes I’m in that kind of mood. Maybe that’s what I’ll spend my eBay money…

Recipe No. 21 Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with Blue Cheese Sauce
I’m really struggling with tiredness at the moment, hence not blogging last night. I mainly napped and took a bath and I still didn’t get much sleep despite trying to relax all evening. So frustrating! So today is seemingly Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year, to be honest I thought after the morning I had I was in for a bad day (woke up to no electricity then the wheel broke on the pushchair) but after a chilled out afternoon, a fun bath time for Little Miss then my mum coming for dinner, it actually hasn’t been too bad. My mum stayed for a good two hours…

Recipe No. 20 Fresh Cream Victoria Sandwich
Due to Christmas, it’s been a while since I’ve shared a recipe on the blog so I thought I’d do one today. My all time favourite cake is a fresh cream Victoria sandwich. In my last month of pregnancy I was eating these daily, not a whole one but definitely at least half a cake a day. By that point I was in no state to attempt to make my own so I’d usually take a walk to Tesco to buy one. Late last year I decided I was going to perfect a Victoria Sandwich and after a few attempts I managed it. My recipe is a version of the…

Where Amy Ate – Paris City Break Edition
WARNING; This post is very photograph & text heavy. This lovely sunny Sunday morning I’m bringing you a very special edition of Where Amy Ate, all about the places Hayley and I ate while in Paris last month. I promise this is my penultimate Paris related post (as I’m sure you’re all getting bored of hearing about it) anyway, we ate in such great places I thought I’d share them all in their own foodie related post. There are so many great places to eat while in Paris, and I’m hoping maybe this post will serve as inspiration for anyone going who doesn’t have a clue where to start when…
