Slow Cooker Sunday ~ Spiced Apple Chutney

apple chutney final

Today was a flying road trip with hubby to look at a car for him and I am absolutely exhausted. Dinner is a slap together soup and sandwich. I could eat soup every day of the week, and often do, but the rest of my family is not so enamoured. But what makes my sandwich [...]

Muffin Monday ~ Apple Pie Muffins

Yesterday I spend the entire day in the kitchen and produced these super delicious apple pie muffins that I lovingly baked, photographed and packed for a safe journey into work.

Is it wrong to want to kiss a colleague? As I said on Saturday, this weekend was hugely stressful with my data disappearing, a laptop that the hard drive and the motherboard have failed, and basically crying uncontrollably over seemingly lost budget papers.   The work papers were recovered on Saturday but not my food [...]
