Buckwheat rocky road fudge bars
PB & J balls
These guys were a real hit when I posted about them on the gram, and I can totally understand why. PB & J is just the best combo as we all know, and the combination of peanut butter ball with gooey jam oozing out is just too delicious for words. After I’d made these, not only did the online world get super excited but my brother, who I’d taken a care package too after his wife had given birth to my beautiful new niece, stated that they were the best things I’d ever made him. So I figured that was good enough feedback. Continue reading
PB cup stuffed cupcakes with a chocolate mousse frosting
Very berry smooth-cakes
I love cheesecakes. I love smoothies. So by mathematical logic, it should make sense that I double love cheesecake smoothies. And that logic ain’t wrong my friends. Want to know the great thing about cheesecake smoothies?
Brookies
This is another one for my fellow indecisive people out there. When you just love brownies and you just love cookies and you just can’t choose between them. Brookies are the answer. That’s brownies on the bottom, cookies on the top – two times the deliciousness in each heavenly slice. Continue reading
Easter recipe round up
Just a little post from me here, because I suddenly realised that it’s Easter this weekend and whilst there are two sparkly new recipes up on my blog to celebrate the return of everyone’s favourite chocolate-filled four day weekend, there’s lots of other recipes from years gone by that are still bloody awesome but I haven’t managed to remind you about yet.

Easter nest cake with chocolate ganache
I love rice Krispy cakes any time of year, but there’s something very Eastery about them indeed. Make them into a nest and chuck some eggs in the middle and you’ve got the perfect easy to make Easter treat. I wanted to give the traditional version a little twist, and when it comes to desserts I’m pretty sure the ‘less is more’ rule doesn’t apply, so I thought I’d make a big old nest filled with the most indulgent chocolate ganache and decorated with homemade chocolate eggs.
‘Snickers’ Easter eggs
Last Easter, when baby H was 21 months (and baby H 2.0 was just a twinkle in his daddy’s eye) we went on an awesome trip to Washington DC. It was great with a toddler, loads of things to see, so many museums (which were all free entry, even the zoo) and delicious food. But the highlight for baby H was definitely Easter Sunday. Continue reading
Blueberry smoothie…and a birth story
I wanted to share this recipe with you guys as it’s actually the first thing I had after a gave birth to my newest little addition, baby Buddy, on the 16th of March this year. It was just what I fancied…cool, refreshing, hydrating and packed with iron, perfect for a tired mama who’s just been through the equivalent of a marathon! For anyone wondering how I (or to be precise, Mr H) was able to magic up a smoothie shortly after birth, well, that is the beauty I guess of giving birth at home with all your creature comforts around you. Having had two incredible births, which I can only describe using words like calm, empowering, relaxing, exhilarating and serene, I wanted to share my story on here (as well as this recipe) for anyone who wants to read it.

Matcha vanilla cheesecake bites
The other day I saw pictures of myself from 12 years ago pop up on Facebook. I was young (19 years young to be precise), a bit too slim and very tanned. I was mid way through a ‘good’ degree, working towards getting a ‘good’ job. I thought I was on the right path, but when I look at these pictures there was something missing, a little sparkle in my eye that just needed to be ignited.
If you’d have told 19 year old me that 12 years later I’d be doing something completely unrelated to the ‘good’ degree I was working so hard for and making desserts made out of powdered green tea leaves I’d probably have laughed in your face and told you to reread said tea leaves because that couldn’t possibly be true.
