#Recipe – Carrot cake with a pineapple twist

By MummyConstantApril 4, 2015June 25, 20202 Comments

If you want to do some Easter baking this weekend, or over the week, this is your recipe! The yummiest, moist carrot cake with a zangy cream cheese frosting, complete with carrot decorations. These are quite a bit of effort, but I think it is well worth it as they look and taste amazing. There is quite a shopping list, but I ordered all of the bits on Tesco groceries online and a neat trick is I used white chocolate chips with food colouring to complete the decoration with the orange and green which I thought was really effective. Did you know you can make a carrot cake in an Instant Pot? Fascinating! VIEW the POST

#Recipe – the best chewy chocolate cookies

By MummyConstantApril 3, 2015May 19, 20183 Comments

This is a perfect recipe for large chocolate chunk and chewy cookies. They are great for over Easter and for wrapping up in tissue paper and giving to family too. I used a large bar of chocolate and some great Tesco baking products, they do large tubs of baking powder and bicarbonate of soda which is great as we go through a lot of them. These are just two items that you need to keep in your baking cupboard for when you get the urge to bake. VIEW the POST

#Recipe – Cajun turkey mince

By MummyConstantApril 1, 20150 Comments

This is a really tasty meal that you can make really quickly over the Easter holidays, we love it with basmati rice and natural yoghurt. You could have it with salad and new potatoes, or put it in a warm tiger bread roll with a dollop of natural yoghurt on top. It is really tasty. We used Tesco lean turkey mince to make our Cajun dish, we had never cooked with turkey mince before. It tastes a lot better and is not as greasy, I really enjoyed the dish. I prefer using turkey mince now, instead of beef.

Yes, I am 31 and this is my very first espresso, call me crazy but my love for coffee is in the milk! I love milky coffee, which is why I love latte and the café au lait that Dolce Gusto do. So when I was sent my espresso bundle from Dolce Gusto I jumped with excitement at trying the new recipe, Ristretto Ardenza. VIEW the POST
