Happy Hanukkah! I’ve always wanted to make some nut and dairy-free Rugelach and Hanukkah is the perfect time to come up with a new recipe.

Mini Christmas Muffins (with a mince pie version)
Mini muffins are such a great bake. Tasty, moreish and bite sized. I like to pop a couple into a lunchbox for a tasty sweet treat, or have a platter ready to welcome everyone home. These mini muffins taste like Christmas; spiced with cinnamon, mixed spice, nutmeg and clementine zest. I think they’ll make a…
Reverse Chocolate Chip Cookies
I don’t often come across dairy-free white chocolate so I was just delighted to find that MooFree now produce white chocolate bars and chips.

Pizza Breadsticks

Why don’t you join? it’s really fun, a great way…

Trail Mix Picnic Bars (aka Trail Mix Stay at Home Bars)
When I originally created this recipe for trail mix picnic bars it was for those days when you’re getting ready to head outside for a weekend full of adventures; these days, it’s more a case of trying to make days at home seem fun, interesting and different! Whatever the scenario, these bars are always perfect….
Fudge
Now that worthy January is out of the way I can start posting my backlog of recipes, and what better day to make fudge that when storm Ciara is battering the country. Fudge is such a naughty sweet treat, utterly delectable and rather moreish, but it certainly didn’t fit into the clean living start of…
