Cake, kids & exercise
This recipe caught my eye when I was flicking through a cook book. It sounds like such a yummy combo. I'm a big Rachel Allen recipe fan and have a number of her books. This is from 'Bake', which is one of her older books. She does a basic cookie recipe and then suggests a… Continue reading White Chocolate and Orange Cookies
I'm a big lemon cake fan, as is everyone in our house. I recently tried a variation of the much used 'iced lemon traybake' that involved using lemons and limes.

I'm a 5-10k runner, more 5-8k if I'm entirely honest. This year, I want to push myself and see what I can achieve. My goal is to do a half marathon in 2019, so I've signed up for a 10 mile race. I should point out I've never run 10 miles in my life, but… Continue reading Eek – Trim 10 mile
