I was introduced to the fabulous blog of Lucy at Attic24 when one of the ladies on the Phoenix Knitting Forum made Lucy’s gorgeous bag last year. I immediately fell in love, and had to have one of my own. Problem was, I couldn’t crochet. Not a single stitch. But after weeks of failed attempts and extreme persistence, Lucy’s wonderfully clear instructions finally meant I had my own version! I was in love, it was the Best Bag Ever. (more…)

This is one of my favourite easy recipes because it’s also really quick and mess free which, on weeknights is an absolute blessing! It’s also a great way to use up any left over vegetables; pretty much anything works in place of the frozen vegetable mix. I just like to keep a bag in the freezer for the sheer convenience, plus it is significantly cheaper than fresh vegetables! It keeps brilliantly for lunch the next day, and warms up nicely in the microwave.
Ingredients (Serves two to three)
- 400g Diced chicken Breast (2 breasts)
- 1 can chick peas
- 1 can frozen mixed vegetables (I get the mix with carrot, sweetcorn, peas and green beans. Use your empty chick pea can to measure.)
- 1 pot Thai Red Curry sauce (my favourite brand is made by The Curry Co)
- A drizzle of vegetable oil to fry the chicken
- 1 1/3 cups Basmati Rice

Here is my favourite recipe for chocolate chip cookies. It only takes a few minutes from start to finish, and the use of a cup as a measuring device instead of weighing makes it incredibly simple.
Ingredients
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1 large egg,beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
You can substitute the all purpose flour for self raising flour and omit the baking soda, it works just as well. I really enjoy this recipe with half white chocotale and half milk chocolate. You can also throw some nuts or dried fruit in, whatever takes your fancy. Just keep it to one cup full and it should work out great!
