A little yum in my tum!

SO sorry that it's been a while (again). I'm still trying to get my mojo back and look at the small positives in every day. I'm going to do a post soon about the hilarity of online dating... you won't want to miss the chance to laugh at my misfortune! 

Anyway, thought I'd share a little dinner delight that I had tonight. Still trying to adjust to cooking for one (which is miserable by the way... have consumed a LOT of beans!) and this recipe was a cracker! 

A little dinner delight

If you hadn't guessed already, I LOVE food. I especially love food inspired or influenced from holidays or travels and meals like this one definitely give me the fuzzy feels inside.

We've been to Madeira (a Portuguese island) {see holiday post here} a few times and one of my favourite things about holidaying there is the meat. They have these fantastic Esperadas which is a traditional local dish and definitely one of my favourites. So, I thought I'd try to create something similar at home.

A little dinner party favourite

I LOVE hosting. Barbeques, dinner parties, Sunday lunches, Christmas, you name it, I love it!

A little drizzle!

This past weekend we had my Mum's hen do. I offered to bake a cake and some scones for the afternoon tea part of the party.

My all time favourite cake is a traditional Victoria Sponge, but it's closely followed by a lemon drizzle loaf. If you fancy making this deliciously moist simple bake then read below...

a little taste of Madeira for dinner!

If you've read my previous post, you'll know how much I adored our recent break in Madeira.

Inspired by one of our delicious meals, I came home and created my own recipe so that we could have a taste of the Med all year!

A little bit of cooking!

If you read my previous food blog, then you'll know that I love cooking, but loathe spending hours in the kitchen waiting for food!

A little bit of AMAZING in my mouth!

I discovered this blog by Millie, that is a recipe she features in her book. I adapted it a little to my taste, and wanted to share this chunk of AWESOMENESS with you!

A little taste of Spain for dinner!

I'm always looking for new recipes to try.

A life without Lactose...

So, those of you who follow me on Instagram may know already, I’m Lactose Intolerant and since finding out at the age of 15 my life has been changed.
