Homemade sausage roll served with potato wedges and side salad

Simple, Quick and Delicious Sausage Roll

With it being the school holidays we spent the day
exploring the South Downs
. Muddy paths, giant mud puddles and chalk cliffs. With the kids taking it in turns showering, changing and generally winding down, I needed something quick and filling.


Scallops with leeks and lemon chilli butter

Scallops with leeks and lemon chilli butter

I cooked this for myself only because the kids were at their Mums, however, it would be easy to scale up and wouldn't cost much more than £5.00. So if you want something that is quick and easy to cook and tasted great, give it a go. My local supermarket had run out of fresh scallops and I didn't have time to get to the fishmongers. So, I opted for a bag of frozen ones.

Cupcakes - Dad's Delicious Bake Off

The little lady decided for her Egyptian Topic Homework this week she would make cupcakes, with little pyramids on top.

Not to be outdone. The middle boy, in turn, wanted to make some cupcakes of his own.

One thing led to another and we now have enough cupcakes to feed a small army.
