Pumpkin Pie
Hi friends! You’re probably wondering what’s going on right now, seeing as we’re right in the middle of an apple fest & this pumpkin pie has exactly 0 apples in it. Well, I thought we needed a break from the apple fest, just this once. …

The Rainbow Cake That Never Was
You guys, I tried. I tried so damn hard to make a nice rainbow cake for us. I got up early on my day off, I bought all the ingredients, I bought a new candy thermometer for the perfect meringue frosting, I (somehow) remained patient …
The Art of Rambling
So it turns out that I’ve been a little all over the place for the last few months. You know when you’re up one second & down the next? Yep, that’s me, a whole bowl full of crazy. It’s kind of unfortunate. & it pretty …
Ham & Gruyère Breakfast Rolls
Why are we always drawn to the things that are wrong for us? Or why do we always do the exact thing someone has just told us not to do? It’s like when you tell little children not to play with super-glue because it’s dangerous. …
Vegetarian Pad Thai
Do you ever get bored of having the same thing for dinner over & over again? Pasta with a tomato based sauce, pizza, more pasta, maybe some rice if you’re feeling adventurous, always the same dishes that you’re been making for years. Yeah, well, I …
Homemade Burgers with Chilli & Basil
Guys, summer has finally arrived in Ireland! It was a bit touch & go for a while, sunny one day & then lashing rain the next, but it seems like the sun is here to stay, at least for the next week or so. That being …
Risotto with Red Wine & Peas
So, did everyone enjoy Banana Week while I was away? I did, & I’ll be enjoying it for a good while longer, seeing as most of the things I baked are sitting patiently in the freezer for their time to shine. Seeing as the last week …
Banana, Pecan & Nutella Swirled Cake Bars
Don’t you just love pecans? Pecans are by far one of the most better tasting nuts. Which is good, but in some ways it’s also a pain. For example, have you ever noticed that supermarkets are almost always out of bags of pecans? Seriously, finding …
Banana Cupcakes with Nutella & Peanut Butter
Welcome to Day 3 of Banana Week! Before we begin I feel I have to inform you, this one’s a good one. In order to keep things interesting this week, I had to make sure I had some variety, right? So on Day 1 we …
Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese Croutons
Yes, you did read the title correctly, that does say grilled cheese croutons. I know what you’re thinking, I thought the exact same thing not so long ago: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? I’m okay now though, I’ve seen the light, made these …
Blueberry & White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
The last few days have been pretty awesome for me: I got my first exam over & done with (only three more left until summer starts!), the weather here has been amazing, & don’t get me started about the amazing deal that I got on …
Chicken Taquitos
Part two of my Mexican feast comes in the form of these delicious Chicken Taquitos. They’re packed full of shredded chicken, cheesy goodness, pineapple chunks, & BBQ sauce. Okay, so the BBQ sauce makes it kind of more Tex-Mex than Mexican, but I doubt you’ll …
Mexican Red Rice
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! This is the first time I’ve actually celebrated the holiday. As a food blogger, there was no way I could let such an excellent excuse for a Mexican feast pass me by. So we feasted Mexican style last night, & …
Homemade Cinnamon Bread
Okay, so I have a cinnamon obsession. I never really noticed how much cinnamon I use every single day until I started blogging. Not a day goes by that I don’t have cinnamon, I just add it to everything! This Homemade Cinnamon Bread is slightly …
Wine & Cheese Grilled Cheese
I’m a big fan of toasted cheese sandwiches, so much so that some of my friends just expect to be fed them when they come to visit. What’s not to love? They’re oozing with cheese, they’re warm & comforting, they’re just the perfect go to …
Banana & Chocolate Chip Baked French Toast
Sometimes, very rarely, there are things that I feel are worth sacrificing sleep for. Actually, I only really feel that way about travel. Well not anymore. This morning when my alarm went off at 6am I was beginning to question my sanity. Is it really …
Zucchini Spice Bread
I know what you’re thinking. Zucchini (or courgette) in bread!? Why would someone ruin a perfectly good bread by adding green vegetables into it? Until only a few hours ago, I used to think the same. This whole baking excursion came about when I found …
Passion Fruit Cordial
I’ve always had a kind of love-hate relationship with passion fruit. The slimy insides with crunchy pips were too much for my younger self to handle. Now that I’m a mature grown-up things have changed. I love passion fruit. I love the colour of the …
