News

Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I last updated! Things have been very busy around here for lots of good reasons. As I mentioned before I'm still settling into a new job which is going really well. I'm working as a support worker in a local hostel for homeless teenagers. It's very worthwhile but it's strange getting used to shift work again!

As I also mentioned (okay, glossed over) the fact that I'm starting a new business up too. I've teamed up with a friend to start Pixie Hall selling handmade gifts and wedding favours. I do the baking part of the deal and she (Victoria) makes the most gorgeous stained glass gift tags and decorations. We hope to be up and running soon!


As far as the blog goes, it will be back with regular updates soon. I'm also hoping to post PH related bits and pieces as they happen. Thanks for sticking around through the quiet, I'll be back up and running soon!

Status Report

I'm ill. I've been struck down with a terrible cold and sore throat. My taste buds are shot and I've little energy to cook. I've got a recipe ready to post in the next few days from my sick bed but that's about as far as it goes.

I'll hopefully put together a post of Tasty Morsels from other blogs to keep you all engaged while I plough my way through endless packets of tissues.

I'll be back soon with proper food.

Stay well!

I should spend a day stapled to this blog...

Life has once again pulled me away from the blog. It's becoming something of a common occurence. I've been cooking lots of low-fat meals recently as I've decided I need to lose weight. I'll be posting some recipes in the next few days and will try and get back on top of everything.

I think I've covered everything about Christmas now apart from my christmas cakes. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get an cake pictures yet but they will arrive later this month. The cakes are delicious though!

Happy New Year

I'd like to take the time to wish you all a very happy new year. I hope you all had fun and celebrated in whatever way suited you. I was very boring and didn't do a thing this year. I was in bed by 11 feeling sorry for myself as I wasn't feeling well. Hey, it worked for me!

There's been a lot of talk about resolutions and generally I don't go in for such things. I do however have some blog related resolutions to share with you...

1. I would like to update more often and try to include some better photographs to go with the updates (though I'm not sure when the latter will happen)

2. I would like to include healthier recipes and make an effort to try low fat and low sugar baking.

3. I will make marshmallows this year!

4. I will be more adventurous with the food I eat and cook.

5. I will continue to be passionate about food and hopefully pass some inspiration on to you.

Oh dear...

I apologise for being so absent. I've been sick. Really sick. The kind where you barely want to get out of bed let alone look at food. My taste buds are sick too... It's no fun.

I've got tons to blog about but it's going to all come after christmas. I've got iced christmas cakes, cookies galore, tea loaves, fudge and coconut ice. I've got christmas dinner with new things to try. I promise I'll be around after Thursday but I just don't have the time to get posting properly before then.

This is me wishing you a very merry christmas and a happy and safe holiday season whatever you are doing and however you are celebrating. I'll see you on the other side.

Apologies for the months of an update free blog. I've been busy but am finally in a position to start up again.

There are tons of photos on my phone ready to be uploaded too so bear with me and I'll reward you with yummy stuff soon.
