This post has been sitting in drafts for so long. Hugh Jordan kindly gave me a blow torch before Christmas and I’ve been meaning to do this blog for ages. With being diagnosed with endometriosis, having two surgeries my head has been all over the place so first I must apologise […]
Recipes
White Chocolate Ice Cream
I know it’s cold out and I know not everyone loves to eat ice-cream at this time of year but I love it. Here’s a recipe for White Chocolate Ice Cream. I don’t think white chocolate ice cream is very common which is why I started making it myself. That […]
Bang Bang Shrimp – Copy of Bonefish Grill ™
I spoke about the delicious Bang Bang Shrimp I had in Bonefish Grill in this post. It was one of my favourite dishes that I had while I was in Orlando. Now I’m not 100% sure if this is an exact replica since I don’t have the original beside me […]
Cookie Monster Cupcakes
I first made these Cookie Monster cupcakes about 5 years ago and everyone raved about them. I don’t know why because they were shocking bad. Practice makes perfect however and I’ve got them turning out pretty well now. The trick is to use a good quality food colouring. I use […]
American Style Buttermilk Pancakes
I am a huge fan of American-style buttermilk pancakes. Anytime I’m in NYC it’s something I refused to leave without getting. I’ve tried a few times to make them at home myself and they never turned out as fluffy as I’d have liked. I even stooped to buying the pre-made […]
Air Fryer Buttermilk Chicken
Like everyone else in January, I’m making a conscious effort to eat a bit better. The ole lad bought a Philips Air Fryer before Christmas and I was interested in trying it out. I was a bit sceptical about the air fryer. The only thing I ever fry in a significant […]
Fried Eggs with Goat’s Cheese
My two big obsessions last year were goats cheese and eggs. For those of you who don’t know, I had a massive phobia of egg yolks for some strange reason. Anyway, that’s over now and almost every week I try to make a new type of egg dish. My latest […]
Shakshuka
Shakshuka is one of my favourite brunch dishes to make at home. It’s a baked egg dish with tomato and spices that originated in North Africa. I first had it in Fumbally a few years ago and their version had minced beef added to it. I ate around the eggs […]
Cinnamon Buns/Rolls with Coffee Glaze
Well, long time no blog. I’ve been stupidly busy these last few weeks. There’s been a lot and I mean A LOT of baking disasters. As much as I hate cinnamon, LP has been hounding me for months to make homemade cinnamon buns. The first batch I made were terrible. […]
Nanaimo Bars
What are Nanaimo bars? Well, Nanaimo is a place in Canada and they are Canadian but other than that I don’t know much else about them other than I never seem to have any leftover when I make them. I’ve never seen them in Ireland and I only know of one […]
