Cheat's Hollandaise

Mr Ellwood loves Eggs Benedict. Actually, I love Eggs Benedict too... but you know what I don't love? All the work that goes into making Eggs Benedict. So I refuse to make it unless it's a special occasion...

... Saturday was Mr Ellwood's birthday, so guess what was on order for breakfast? That's right... Pancakes!

Kidding :)

Yup, Mr Ellwood requested Eggs Benedict.

Have I said Eggs Benedict too many times now? I feel like I might have, which could be a problem for the rest of this post... oops...

Zingy Lemon Rolls

I like to keep my promises. In my last post, the one about Quesadilla Pie and our £5 date night challenge, I told you about zingy lemon rolls and promised you the recipe- so here we go.

Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Do you have a favourite meal of the day? Do you like the picnic possibilities of lunch, the family feast at dinner or the dawn delights of breakfast?

Well my favourite is none of the above. My favourite is brunch.

Peach Butter

Do you like my mountain of peaches?! I almost didn't want to ruin it by using them to cook with... almost. Then I remembered just how amazing peach butter is (and that our current supply was running low) and I quickly got over that. I told you about the wonder of peach butter in a recent post about cherry butter, and when I used it as a glaze for my gammon, but I thought it was high time I showed you what I was raving about. If I don't persuade you just how amazing the taste is, I'm hoping to persuade you with just how pretty it is! Oh, and have I mentioned it makes your house smell INCREDIBLE?!

Cherry Butter

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."

So I wanted to tell you about my new found love for fruit butter. I realised though, that really the name makes no sense at all and you might be expecting something completely different from what I'm about to tell you about. Shakespeare might be right, the end product would still be the same, but for me half the excitement about a new recipe is in the anticipation of just how amazing it might be.... and believe me, this is amazing.

The Simplest of Lemon Curds

We don't get much summer around here. I think we had a week, about a two months ago, which was simply glorious- but since then it has rained, and rained and rained some more. Therefore, we have to make our own sunshine!
