This Autumn, a coiled sausage in puff pastry with smooth toffee apple sauce is sure to warm you up.

Swaledale Butchers sent us a voucher to use on their website, and we opted for the Cumberland Coiled Sausages, so we could share with you one of our mouth-watering family friendly and fun dishes we make; a meaty, rich and creamy meal. What more could you want during these colder months?!

Fruit has always been good for us, but alongside the odd apple strudel or strawberries and cream, the general population aren’t eating enough of it. For example, in America, a CDC study revealed that only one in 10 adults meet the federal recommendation for fruit intake, which is for most people to eat 1.5 cups of fruit each day. The same applies in the UK, with the vast majority of people not having their five a day.

As a parent, I want to make sure that my children are eating a balanced diet, because, eating well is so very important; they need to grow, develop and explore and eating well will help them flourish. No single food contains all the essential nutrients needed, and that’s why we need to make sure our kids are consuming foods from each of the main food groups.

It's easier said than done if you have a fussy eater and providing a balanced diet for your little one can be quite an uphill challenge. But, as long as they eat well most of the time, they will be getting plenty of nutrients and they will also slowly learn healthy eating habits.

It's Caribbean Food Week the 21st - 28th August. During this week we celebrate all things Caribbean food. And, Grace Foods, the UK’s number 1 Caribbean food and drink company, is at the forefront of celebrations.  

The lovely people at Grace Foods UK sent us a big hamper containing a range of Grace Foods' with the challenge to cook up the perfect 'street party spread' at home.

We made two of the same cheesecakes, one was made with Canderel Sugarly and the other regular sugar.  

We were sent all the ingredients to make 2 Lemon and Blueberry cheesecakes, one to make using Canderel Sugarly and the other using regular sugar, with the challenge we took the taste test to see if we could taste the difference!

This weekend, we had some kitchen fun with the kids.

It's so much fun in the kitchen with your kids, whether you bake a cake with them, or make a simple smoothie, they enjoy it very much, and the best part is.. it teaches them life skills.

Fresh, flavorful, and delightfully simple, the sun-kissed Italian cuisine is heaven on a plate. 

One of my favourite things to eat is Bruschetta, whenever we go out to eat, if Bruschetta is on the menu I order it. The bruschetta, with its history spanning centuries of Tuscan tradition, may seem like just a slice of garnished bread, it is actually a light, flavorful, enjoyable dish - many would say, the perfect starter.
