These aren't for the faint hearted but they are so very good. Unfortunately not so good for the waistline.  It's a good job the kids and hubby scoff them before I get a chance to eat any - I'm not very good with moderation. You really can't go wrong with these.

Every time we have a roast, this Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheese gets made. We all love it here including the newest member of the family Baby H, who had her first taste at the weekend! I usually make it ahead of time, pop it into the fridge then just bung it in the oven with the roasties for 20 minutes to brown on top. I vary the cheeses I use but the kids definitely prefer it with Extra Mature Cheddar and a sprinkling of Parmesan on top - blue cheese is good for a more adult version. Although I usually serve it as a side dish to a roast I can quite happily gobble up a bowl of it on its own - garlic bread is a good accompaniment if you want to eat it this way and maybe some crispy bacon on top.

We had a lovely day for Heidi's Christening! Hope you all have a great Bank Holiday.

I've got another super easy chicken recipe to share with you today. Utilising the trusty Sunday leftovers, this creamy risotto is one of my 'bung it in the oven' varieties. No stirring means you have time to get on with other things - at the moment this means mopping my muddy floors! I'm sure the weather will get better once the kids go back to School. The kids aren't that keen on spinach so I only added a small handful - it would quite happily take a lot more. I also added a couple of bacon rashers too as I had them in the fridge, but it would be fine without.

Gooey triple chocolate brownies with dark, milk and white chocolate. Not for the faint hearted! These triple chocolate brownies are AMAZING (so the kids and hubby tell me). The secret I find is to pop them in the fridge overnight to firm up before slicing. They still stay gooey but are much easier to get out of the tin without falling apart.

I'll get to the recipe in a minute but the sun made a brief appearance in Cornwall yesterday (we wont talk about the weather today though)! So, wanting to get out and about but avoid the packed local beaches at Widemouth and Bude, we decided to visit one of our favourite places - Penhallam Manor . Just a mile down the road from us, this little known treasure is the site of a medieval 13th century manor house and is now under the guardianship of English Heritage. All that remains of the house are the low grass covered ruins and moat, which the kids love running around in. Another bonus is the woodland that surrounds the site - which will soon be full of wild mushrooms to forage. After I'd tired them out at Penhallam we headed home to Chicken Kievs and this Sweet Potato Mash as per our weekly meal plan . I much prefer sweet potato mash over normal mash. Roasting it with garlic before whizzing it up in the processor gives it a lovely flavour and when I'm not servin...

I suffered with heartburn REALLY badly during my third pregnancy (and yes she did have a lot of hair) so it was quite timely that Rennie ® asked me to develop a healthy recipe for their #SummerTreats challenge. The criteria was that it had to be colourful, healthy and evocative of summer so I decided to adapt a classic Greek Salad and make it a bit more filling. The addition of chickpeas and canellini beans to the usual ingredients of feta, tomatoes, olives and red onion made it a lot more robust and kept my tummy happily full from lunchtime through to dinner. The dressing was a lovely combination of oregano, lemon zest and olive oil and gave the salad a real zing. Eat for lunch and mop up the juices with some crusty bread. Heaven.
