    Spider Season: Eight Legged Freaks!!!

    7th July 2014 /

    It’s that time of year again where I’m terrorised by the ginormous garden spiders that come in from July to October every year to make nests and lay their eggs…. yeah, one comes in, 400 go out…or not… I hate them, I hate them, I hate them and my neighbours have become used to the sound of blood curdling screams, more than likely they’re saying “Oh dear, Sarah’s found another spider!” and I can often be found, standing on a stool, goosebumps as big as pickled onions, hair on end, tearing my hair out in terror! “It’s just a spider” my husband gently says.. that’s right, just a spider-THE SIZE…

    Leftover Frosting From Cupcakes….What To Do?!

    7th July 2014 /

    Cupcakes are amongst my favourite things to make, but when on a trip to the States, Florida to be exact, I discovered something amazing! Flavour sachets to add to buttercream that add colour AND flavour! I bought 4 because I was a bit apprehensive and never having tried them before, I didn’t want to buy loads and then hate them… I bought two Cotton Candy and two Cherry.   On my nephew’s second birthday last month, I did my normal thing that I do for all family birthdays, and brought my cupcakes.. and didn’t I usethe cotton Candy? Well, everyone fell over themselves for it, it was amazing and now…

    Not So ‘Stuffed’ Stuffing

    6th July 2014 /

    I love Sunday’s, apart from the idea of work the next morning which highly depends where you work, some people live for Monday mornings and returning to work. Sunday to me is a complete lounge day, sleep in, nice hot shower, the nice fresh coffee that my husband usually leaves on my dressing table for when I dry myself off and then an hour of television, which is usually Ina Garten’s ‘Barefoot Contessa’. Then I prepare a yummy lunch.. Sunday lunches mean a lot to me, you get to take out the linen napkin’s and dress the table up, if you have company -even better! It’s a good time to…

    Recipe: ‘Breaking Bad’ Lasagne….Estilo Mexicano (Mexican Style)

    4th July 2014 /

    My husband is a dab hand at creating weird and wonderful dishes, we share cooking duties but I like to do a lot of the cooking, simply because I come alive when I’m cooking, I usually, make myself a delicious drink, put on some upbeat music and away I go! There’s nothing better than cooking for those you love, nourishing them, friends or family! However, when Ryan nails a dish, he NAILS it! His Chilli and Chicken Curry is a must at the New Years party that his Mum hosts every year, the one year he didn’t make it…(we were away in New York) the whole extended family were asking…
