It’s National Vegetarian Week and I’m in!
As I was tucking into my lunch of leftover chicken (free range of course), from Sunday lunch, I saw as I was scrolling through Instagram, that it was national vegetarian week. Oops.

Easy fruit cake recipe
I'm not much of a baker; I prefer cooking as it's less precise and I feel that I can be more adventurous, but with autumn comes a craving to fill the house with the warm smell of a cake baking in the oven, which I can later enjoy with a pot of tea. I love… Continue reading Easy fruit cake recipe

However, it only take two changes to amend this recipe to make rhubarb and orange jam, which I'll include at the end.* I love jam but I… Continue reading Homemade Rhubarb & Ginger Jam
Satay Recipe – Abi Style
Spicy, nutty, tangy and tasty - what's not to love? Is it weird that I'm not a massive fan of peanut butter on its own? I love peanuts and I love butter, but I find peanut butter on its own to be a bit tacky and dense - it gets stuck to the roof of… Continue reading Satay Recipe – Abi Style
