2 Ingredient dough: cheesy dough balls
Now I think about it, I should have called this post 3-ingredient dough balls, since that is all it requires: Greek yogurt- I used TOTAL, which has a great consistency for this kind of dough making. Self-raising flour Cheese. I developed it whilst using the last of my 2-Ingredient breadstick dough.

Things to do in London with children this half-term
I was reminded today of how lucky I am to live on the doorstep of London, with all the distraction and entertainment that it offers.

If you have a trip planned to make the most of the half-term break, then allow me to make a few suggestions of things to do: 1.

Imagine, then, my joy when Amanda Egan released Completing … [Read more...]

Maternal Newborn Tetanus is caused by the spores carried in the soil in the less … [Read more...]
Five tips for buying your School Run Coat
There are things that I am beginning to find essential in a coat now that I spent about half of my week on the school run. Never mind the latest fashion, if I am standing out in all weathers (which, lets face it, mostly means 'wind' and 'rain' and often 'both together' in the UK) then I want to be warm and dry and Vogue can go and hang itself. I'll give you a minute to recover from the very idea that I even know how to spell Vogue, never mind … [Read more...]
