Chocoloate Cheesecake 2

Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

OK, as promised in my recent post, here’s the chocolate cheesecake recipe that I made up at the weekend. Needless to say, the fact that I’m sharing it means that it worked and tasted ‘kinda nice’! But I’ll let you be the judge of that, you’ll just have to make one to try it. Ingredients 150g...

The triathlon training finished a little late so we then had to rush off to Llanafan for a beekeeping meeting. There was no way we’d make it by 2pm so we let them know...

Muffins - Fresh out of the oven 9

Delicious Blueberry Muffin Recipe

I’ve baked quite a few muffins lately so thought that seeing as we had picked blueberries on Friday that I would make Blueberry Muffins for breakfast on Saturday morning so that Anna could have a nice breakfast in bed. Rather than follow a recipe though I decided to make my own up as I wanted...
