B's Bakes: Savoury Sweet Potato Muffins

For a long time, I was very unsure of how I felt about savoury cake. Give me any flavour of sugary sweet treat, but herbs and more than just a pinch of salt...no chance. It wasn't until I started experimenting with sundried tomatoes and cheese that I realised that just because I didn't want to inhale the raw batter, didn't mean the end result wouldn't be delicious.

Quick and Easy Sick Day Soup

Life has been rather hectic lately. As I stepped off the train from London I received a call from my employer asking if I could work overtime as the children that I nanny for had come down with flu. Needless to say that with my immune system a little weakened from all the sugar consumed whilst in London it was inevitable that I would be struck down with the same bug. However, unlike the children, I live alone and have no one around to make me food and bring me fluids in my hours of need. I therefore keep this little recipe up my sleeve as it is super simple and quick using ingredients that can usually be found in the bottom of the fridge whilst also being warm, comforting and nourishing.

Simple, Scrumptious, Quinoa Salad

It took me a long time to get to grips with the fact that salad did not have to be boring and that it could consist of more than just a few wilted leaves of iceberg lettuce and some watery tomatoes. 

So here is my go-to salad recipe that has never failed to be a winner and, even better, it uses up loads of scraps and only takes around 15 minutes to create.
