Cheesecake Muffins
Mmm, Cheesecake Muffins from a Philadelphia Cookbook – except I replaced the peaches with pears and the sour cream with creme fraiche. The Cheesecake Brownies were nice too.

Busy Bank Holiday
Seeing as we didn’t have a huge amount planned for the Bank Holiday weekend and were simply staying at home we seemed to pack quite a bit in. Triathlon Training and Animations on the Big Screen Saturday started with a bike ride for me, just a quick ride towards Machynlleth, a quick blast around the...
Lazy Easter Days
The Easter holidays continue and we’ve all been at home. Morgan is off school, Anna has the whole week off work and I had yesterday off work too as the university was still closed. I’ve been doing the odd bit of work on the computer in the early mornings but other than that have pretty...

Chilli And Homemade Taco Shells
We made a really nice chilli on Saturday. Based on a Jamie Oliver Recipe from his America Book, we of course changed it a fair bit. Chilli Recipe As with most of Jamie’s recipes, and many recipes in general it was heavy on the meat, but had very few vegetables in it. In fact it...
Oaty Banana Muffin Recipe

Not only are they delicious and now filling the house with the gorgeous smell of freshly baked banana muffins, but they only took a few minutes to make, 20 minutes to bake and probably not much more than that to eat....

Paprika Chicken Recipe
As you know, we’ve been enjoying cooking, and more importantly eating, some recipes thanks to thespicery.com lately. One of our favourites from this was the Hungarian Sweet Paprikas recipe. It is possible to either buy the complete recipe kit from thespicery.com, or to order the individual spices from them and make you own blends. The trouble...
A Quick trip to Welshpool
Another lovely weekend, with the sun shining and temperatures reaching 13.8ºC on Sunday. A Day in Welshpool We headed off to Welshpool early on Saturday morning. Anna and Morgan weren’t too keen on leaving the house at 8am as they consider that early. I of course had been up for hours having not slept at all the...
Sunshine, Geocaching and a Walk Recce
We have a night hike planned for the Scouts soon so thought we had better recce the route that I had in mind sometime soon. Sunday afternoon looked like the best time to do it as we would have a couple of hours free. I did my usual early morning run and then swim followed...
