October 14, 2018Not long now to Halloween, the weeks are flying by and October is sure going very fast. I’m just wondering how many of you go all out on the Halloween Decorations? My problem is I tend to go overboard on the Halloween Baking. I leave the decorating to my Son who loves all that stuff. This year he had…

How about you? Is it too early for you! I absolutely love Christmas & especially Christmas Baking and being a baking blogger, I have already been trying out…
September 5, 2018Sherry is one of those drinks that as soon as I take the top off the bottle, I am immediately hit with the smell of Christmas. It evokes so many memories of childhood for me – suddenly I’m back in my Nana’s kitchen stirring the sherry-soaked fruit for her amazing Christmas Cake. She wasn’t one for anything fancy, so…
August 10, 2018I was thinking about making a White Chocolate Raspberry Tart this weekend, but a “special request” was put in at the last minute by my 17-year-old middle son – “would I please make something with Milky Bar Chocolate”. Milky bar chocolate, now that brings back some memories – gosh we haven’t had that in the house in a long…
July 31, 2018Pineapple Upside Down Cake has always been a classic in my house and evokes great memories of many special occasions. My Mum made one for nearly every family occasion, birthdays, christenings, funerals. You would always find my Mum’s special Pineapple Upside Down Cake somewhere on the table. I love this cake as much as I did in my childhood …
June 11, 2018Everyone who knows me will say without any hesitation that I am a coffee addict. I cannot function without at least 5 cups during the day and please don’t even say good morning until I have had my morning cuppa Lol.

June 1, 2018Well about 5 days ago this yellow looking ball appeared in the skies over Ireland lol – Yes the Sun has finally made a long waited appearance and he brought a beautiful blue sky with him and temperatures of up to 25C in some parts of the country. Believe me this is a rare occurrence in this part of the…

April 2, 2018Well is everybody well and truly had their fill of Easter Eggs? I say yes absolutely but my kids say no lol. It seems that Easter began very early this year, in this country anyway. I remember seeing Easter Eggs in the shops two days after Christmas, before the New Year had even begun. I will admit to buying…
March 2, 2018So Winter made a second appearance (with a vengeance) in Ireland on the first day of Spring. So typically Irish. We are completely snowed in and the country is in shutdown! So what to do when you have a “snow day” BAKE of course, and this Cappuccino Coffee Loaf is the perfect bake for a snow day. As well…
February 3, 2018Every body loves a scone and everyone has their own favorite scone recipe! This is my scone recipe, A FAMILY HEIRLOOM if you will.

December 1, 2017I love everything to do with Christmas – the decorating, wrapping presents, old b/w Christmas movies, but if you ask me what my most favorite thing is about Christmas – I would have to say it’s Christmas baking. Baking cookies with my now teenage kids is still top of the baking list, along with the baking of our Christmas pudding…

October 16, 2017Who can resist a Gingerbread? Certainly not me! I’m very fond of the chocolate dipped Gingerbread Man that they sell in my local cafe, delicious with one of their special Autumn Lattes! This recipe is just as good as the cafe ones! I promise. It’s my favorite gingerbread recipe. I have used it since my kids were small. They…
