Over Christmas I bought far too much cream, and I didn’t want to just pour all that creamy goodness down the drain, so had the inspired idea to make some easy ice cream. I can’t deny my love for Nutella so with plenty of that to hand I set about making this easy (though not…

Haggis Burrito
Instead of another meal of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, this Haggis Burrito gives a lighter, fresher alternative. No real effort is required to make this, so is perfect for a quick post-work dinner or a lunch. I did make my own Guacamole and Salsa, but you could easily just use shop bought Haggis Burrito (Makes…
Haggis Pakora
Burns’ Night always see a glut of Haggis in this house, partly because you can’t seem to get Haggis in a 2 person portion! To use up our excess I made some Pakora, which is great for a starter or to make loads for a meal. This is a simple recipe, but it does use…
Porridge
I love Porridge, it’s a staple in our house during winter (or any time really). I like mine sweet with a variety of toppings, while Stuart is more traditional and likes his with salt! This week is Breakfast Week, an initiative being run by the HGCA to promote the health benefits of eating Breakfast. Porridge…
Irn Bru Pulled Pork
A while ago I was at an event and they served a canapé of Irn Bru Pulled Pork. Now I am not a fan of Irn Bru so was sceptical of how it would taste, and I have to say I was surprised, it actually tasted quite nice! So, I decided that instead of the…

Black Cherry Jam
Another Jam post! I am really getting into this jam making, which is lucky as I have been working my way through an abundance of fruit in my freezer. This black cherry jam is tasty, and great on toast, a dollop in a creamy rice pudding or even to be used as a filling for…
Bourbon Glazed Cocktail Sausages
I do love cocktail sausages, they are a must for any party! I spotted these Bourbon Glazed Cocktail Sausages a while ago on Pinterest and knew that I had to try them. The recipe on Pinterest tells you to cook them for 4 hours in a slow cooker, but I didn’t have the time or…
Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry Sauce is a must at this time of year. Not only as a condiment for your Christmas Dinner but it can also be used in canapes – such as my Brie and Cranberry Parcels, or on a cheese board. This is a quick and easy recipe to make your own Cranberry Sauce, impress your…
Festive Canapes
It’s always handy to have a few tasty and easy Canapes up your sleeve for over the Christmas and New Year periods. Usually I end up with the staple of sausage rolls and cocktail sausages, and this year I wanted to do something a little bit different. Here are a couple of tasty Canapes for this…
