Today I had planned to write a shopping post. Tie in with the made up Black Friday craziness and maybe share some of the deals that around. But, frankly, the amount of emails I’ve had today with the title “Black Friday” is starting to make me feel a bit queasy and my rebellious nature has
I’ve been waiting a whole year to share this recipe! Every time I make it it’s a dark Autumn evening. I keep thinking one day I’ll make it, set up some lights and take some great photos, or maybe I’ll make it for a lunch but I never do. This is fabulous comfort food and

There are things in my life that make me feel like I’ve finally achieved the coveted status of “actual grown up”. I rarely run out of toilet roll, milk or toothpaste. I order my shopping online, like an adult, and I have a chalkboard on my fridge with a weekly meal plan and a fridge
Did you know today is National Burger Day? I didn’t until I started getting emails telling me it was National Burger Day. My first instinct was to raise an eyebrow and disbelieve that such a thing existed. But then I got several emails, from several PRs. Most of them were trying to get me to
