Summer Coolers

It is hot, hot, hot! The best way to enjoy sunny weather is to ensure you stay hydrated. Below are a few cold drink ideas which don't take time to make and will keep you feeling refreshed as you take in the glorious heat after a cold and miserable few weeks.

No measurements as you can have a play!

Lemon & Lime cooler - fill a blender with ice, lemon and lime cordial, fizzy water and blend to get a thick or thin slushie (your choice). Pour in a tall glass and serve with a sprig of mint.

Mixed Berry cooler - blend frozen mixed berries with lemonade till smooth. Pour in cocktail glasses (add rum for adults) and enjoy!

Iced Tea - mix cold tea with sugar and lemon cordial, pour in a tall glass full of ice.

You can do so much more, just get mixing and try out different flavours and share the good ones with all of us!

Sunday Dinner!

Have been away too long so to celebrate my return, here's what I made earlier and yes, the Yorkies are home made! Yum Yum!

A spicy teatime

A visit to the specialist supermarket resulted in a tea of onion bhaji, channa dal and chicken dupiaza (which had a bit of a kick). Recipes to follow.

Happy days!

All's well when there is cake!

What a last few days! Finally unpacked (apart from cookery books as I have packed the shelf plugs in a "safe place")!

What better way to unwind than to make a nice big chocolate cake. Of course once things settle down I will have more recipes to offer.

See you soon!

On the road again.....

Exciting times are ahead as we move on from Oban back to Tyne & Wear. I have an exciting challenge ahead but its all under wraps at the moment!

In the meantime, its back to packing boxes!!
