Banana Muffins
I’m sure it’s not just me who feels like my children have more of a social life than I do? Normally I love my wall planner. I work 7 weeks ahead of myself from a meal and activities point of view. It’s helpful when I’m working on projects and coordinating our children’s social life. Today however I realised that I’ve got 5 days at home and then I’m off to Congregation. This will be the first time that I will have left the toddler (now 2) on his own for longer than 8 hours.

Quick Ice Cream
On such a glorious day, I always fancy something cold and sweet but with our Irish weather it’s incredibly hard to plan ahead for sunny weather. This recipe for Quick Ice Cream can be made with 10 minute’s notice providing you have the 2 ingredients in the house. Did I mention it’s also sugar-free?

Gluten Free Chocolate Cherry Cake
I was doing some work on the blog and realised that there was a gap of baking proportions. It’s not good enough and I apologise! I suppose a gluten-free chocolate cherry cake will have to do.

Baked Banana And Chocolate
Leftover Easter eggs? Chocolate from a kid’s party? Halloween treats lying around? I give you the 2 ingredient baked banana and chocolate dessert.

Grilled Red Grapefruit
While we were preparing the allotment for the new growing season, I pulled out an old tool. It reminded me of Grilled Red Grapefruit.

Treacle, Ginger and Oat Banana Bread
The rules in our house say that if you have ripe bananas, you make banana bread. This Treacle, Ginger and Oat Banana Bread is low GI and lower in fat than a normal banana cake/bread recipe.

Warm Meringue With Custard And Berries
Warm meringue? Seriously? She’s off her trolley. It’s meant to be cold with cold, whipped cream? Why on earth would you eat Warm Meringue with Custard and Berries?

Apple Crumble Cake With Cream
Warm or cold, this cake with apple and a dark crumble topping is the kind of food I like to eat at home.
