I’ve been getting mousse, loose, aboot this hoose! Sorry, couldn’t help it. After making a white chocolate mousse with samples from Millies, I couldn’t help but make more versions! This time I used the Mint Extra Dark Chocolate from Seed and Bean, and, tweaking my recipe, I created a much more indulgent, rich affair, which […]
I have always wanted to try making a mousse, but never quite got around to doing it. People whip them up on Mastershout all the time, and they look delicious, indulgent but light, which is my kind of dessert. Millies, a local food store in Leeds, gave me a perfect opportunity to try it. The […]
This morning I woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland. I know everyone is fed up of the wintry weather, but on a weekend when you don’t have much to do, being snowed in is kind of cosy. Even in March. So, I have been curled up with a blanket, and my polka dot tot […]
Last weekend saw the fifth edition of the Horsforth Beer and Cider Festival. Hosted at St Margaret’s Church Hall, the event was incredibly popular, and all funds raised are going towards carrying out repairs to the church. We arrived with tot in tow, a little nervous as to how she’d cope, and in fact, how […]

The stallĀ is bursting with colour and vibrance but most importantly, flavoursome and delicious food. The Lord Mayor of Leeds was in attendanceĀ to celebrate the launch, as was Councillor Gerry Harper, and they […]
As the snow started falling last Thursday, I wrapped myself up and headed out to the launch night of Miller & Carter at Leeds Light. It was a tough call, believe me. My sofa was waiting with a soft, warm blanket, the snow was falling gently outside and best of all, the tot was asleep. […]

Create Cafe, Ilkley
I visited Create Cafe back in November, but couldn’t write up my thoughts as my family’s Christmas presents would have been revealed ahead of time… Create Cafe is a fantastic concept. It’s somewhere you can decorate pieces of pottery to make personal gifts. It’s a great idea if you have children as you can make […]

New Year, New Beginnings
I accidentally took a little blogging break through December. To be honest, the month passed me by a little and was a somewhat sleep deprived blur. My wee lassie had the dreaded molars emerging and they stole all her sleep – not very festive of them at all. Whilst this still continues, it is getting […]
I love Christmas. Every year I get increasingly excited as we get closer and closer to December, waiting until we can finally over-decorate our house and have an excuse for much feasting and frivolity. The whole season is filled with cosy warmth, big jumpers, drinks with family and friends and an excuse to celebrate. Even […]

The Greedy Pig, Leeds
I had seen loads of tweets about The Greedy Pig and had always meant to give it a visit. Tales about top notch breakfasts were intriguing me, but not as much as the highly promoted pulled pork. I flipping love pulled pork. Anything that has that much time in the preparation has to be delicious […]
