The Best Chicken Marinade- a simple marinade for chicken, packed full of flavour. Perfect for when you want to chargrill your chicken. Jump to recipe You're about to read about the BEST chicken marinade (in my humble opinion) and once you try it, I promise you'll keep going back again and again and again. I'm not usually one to boldly proclaim that my recipes are the 'best ever' because there are so many amazing recipes out there and it really depends on personal preference. That being said- you must try this marinade! I keep trying to describe the flavour and just coming up with yummy, delicious, juicy (is juicy a flavour???) er delicious... and other hopeless descriptions. All I can really say is that it's the ultimate chicken marinade and you won't be disappointed if you try it. I love marinated chicken. I have a couple of marinades on the blog already: Spicy Maple Chicken and Sweet Smoked Paprika Chicken and I quite often have a lot of fun playing ab...

It was half-term this week and, after a couple of days of enjoying my freedom and visiting family and seeing friends, I got the baking itch. I wanted to make something that would serve as dessert and as an afternoon treat to have with a cuppa. Brownies fit the bill perfectly! I had a packet of crushed hazelnuts in my baking cupboard that I had been hoping to use for something, and brownies seemed to fit for that too. Chocolate and nuts is never a bad idea, so I threw them in with the mixture to add some extra texture. My husband is not a fan of nuts in any form, so I ended up doubling the mixture and only putting hazlenuts in half. We were going away for a few days to Canterbury for our anniversary, so I packaged them up to take with us. I thought it might save some pennies if we had our own treats instead of buying cafe treats everyday. Unfortunately, even though we packed very light, there still wasn't room for an enormous tupperware of hazelnut brownies so, at the last minute I ...

Mini Cheese and Onion Quiches- small cheese and onion quiches, perfect for children's parties buffets and afternoon tea. Jump to recipe When me and my sister were young, and my mum first went back to work, one of our standard after-school dinners was cheese and onion quiche with jacket potato and salad. It was also one of our first food technology lessons at secondary school- how to make cheese and onion quiche. I vividly recall a girl in my class dropping hers on the way to the oven and spending the whole rest of the lesson mopping up the eggy mess! We took our quiches home and had them for dinner. Mine wasn't half bad, but I probably didn't really eat quiche again until I was first teaching. That was when I first ate the (frankly amazing) quiche that the school caretaker makes for the staff training day lunches. So, when someone asked me if I would make them a quiche last week, I wondered, why haven't I made one since school? Maybe it's trickier than I remembered...

Valentine's Day Chocolate Chip Shortbread Biscuits- heart-shaped shortbread biscuits, filled with chocolate chips and covered in melted chocolate. Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so get ready to see hearts and flowers everywhere (if you haven't already!) This year, I am doing a Valentine's Day collaborative post with Danielle from Welcome 2 My Jungle with a focus on Valentine's baking for kids. One of the easiest baking ideas to do with children is shortbread. It's very simple, only has 3 main ingedients, lends itself to small hands joining in and always turns out well. More importantly, shortbread is buttery and delicious! All the best biscuits come from the UK, in my totally unbiased opinion, and shortbread is number one. For this Valentine's version of shortbread biscuits, I added chocolate chips and then dipped the tops of the biscuits in dark chocolate. I finished them off with pink and white sprinkles because, for kids, sprinkles are essent...
