My emergency summer fruits crumble

We all mess up from time to time and this recipe is proof that when you do you need to dust yourself off, pick yourself up and get creative. I tried to make a sugar free pavlova at the weekend and it didn’t work. This left me with an icky sloppy mess, some cream and…

Sugar free apple crumble

It’s been a while since posting and I will get back through the backlog but in the meantime to celebrate 4 months since surgery I wanted to make a sugar free dessert. Inspired by one of my surgery buddies who was making apple and oat muffins for breakfast I decided to attempt a sugar free…

Apples and Pears Crumble

Today has been all about comfort food. I had some pears and apples that weren’t going to get eaten so thought it was about time I made my apples and pears crumble Its a traditional crumble, so named not just because its made with apples and pears but also because one hefty portion, served with…

Rice Pudding in a Pressureking Pro

The Dazzler requested a Pressure King Pro for his birthday as he likes stews and loves the idea of cooking them quickly. The Power of TV Informercials in the middle of the night obviously works!! When reading through the recipe book I was presently surprised (but not a little bit sceptical) that you could make…

Raspberry & chocolate brioche pudding

I saw this recipe on come dine with me and just had to try it (well the Dazzler just kept staring at me until I tried to make it). I had no idea where to get the recipe as it was an old episode so last night I raided google and my larder and made…

Chocolate and Raspberry tart

So I cannot take much of any credit for this recipe as it is totally inspired by Tom Kerridge’s Cheats chocolates tart but as I am rather lazy and NEED to feel that I have at least given a nod to healthy living I didn’t go the whole hog and caramelise my nuts or make coffee cream….

I didn’t want to rely on my old…

My Apple and Cherry Crumble

It’s officially autumn. It looks like the end of the unseasonably warm weather and we are well into November so it’s time to break out the warming puds. I have some past their prime apples in the bowl and have even thinking of ways to avoid throwing them away. I’ve posted before about my plum…

My Pink Pavlova Heart

You will have to excuse me not posting this on Valentines day but we’ve both been a little loved up so this will be here for next year if you need it ;0) We had a Flabulous day! I took the day off , the Dazzler took me for a pub lunch and we had…
