As ever, the email request was assumed to be rhetorical: would I like to review some brownies? Only if you can't give me this week's Lottery winning numbers... So imagine my utter joy when a parcel awaited my return from the school run this morning: DH must have signed for it and then departed for Bristol, so he's missing out. I am an admirer of beautiful packaging, so Blue Basil Gourmet Brownies had me mentally writing this review before … [Read more...]
Cake and Biscuits Cookie Dough- just shape and bake!
I found the Cake and Biscuits Dough in my local 99p Store last week. Given that ready-made cookie dough retails for a lot more than that in the supermarkets, it seemed silly not to give it a try, so that afternoon we took them to Granny's house. As Granny is living in a rental and most of her things are in storage, she has a fairly basic range of kitchen supplies (I say that compared to my house which has every kind of baking-related-object known … [Read more...]
Cubby Kit Review
There is no doubt that the concept behind CubbyKits is brilliant. I have seen Kiwi Crates talked about on some of the American blogs that I read so had an idea what would be involved. And when we got back from holiday there was a seriously smart looking package on the doorstep addressed to the Little Big Girl. Inside was a bunch of pots and pieces of paper, all of which after careful reading (my job) and mixing (her job) led to a fun … [Read more...]

Pancake Tuesday: can anyone feed my craving for Biscoff/Speculoos Spread?
We got the bug for pancakes during half-term. On a day out in Canterbury, and weary after a lot of walking on cobbles, there was a need for a little something. Lo we spied a Creperie Van and a few minutes later were munching on pancakes whilst fending off the irrepressible flock of pigeons. The girls enjoyed their Nutella Crepe- a favourite of smalls across the land- whilst DH tucked in to apple and cinnamon. I rather controversially veered away … [Read more...]
Fabulous Bakin’ Boys Mini Muffins
There are certain things that could precipitate divorce at DG Manor. Refusing free cake when it is offered is one of them. So I said yes. Not that this was a challenge, since the cake that was on offer was from the Fabulous Bakin' Boys, with whom I am quite familiar (not a euphemism.) I cannot recommend their chocolate flapjacks enough: they got me through two fairly epic six-day baby-related hospital stays. They may also have contributed to … [Read more...]
