Fish Stew

IMG_0216

I love eating seafood but rarely ever make any for myself at home, partly as I’m always a little unsure of the best way to cook fish. My mum bought me a book on how to prepare and cook fish to help me overcome this! Although this particular recipe is not from that book- it did help to inspire me.

What do you want to read about?

So I have a few blog posts in the pipeline that I’m currently working on, but wondered what you- yes you really want to read about. So I have created a poll so that people can vote on what they would like to see on here, as you are my readers I feel it makes sense to ask what you like.

So please, vote, let me know. If there is none of your preferred answers- leave a comment, let me know. Thanks! 🙂

White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies

This recipe is not one of my own, it was a gift from a friend- the ingredients and baking instructions all put into a Kilner jar. All except the eggs. It looked lovely in the jar and I didn’t make this for some time as I just liked looking at all the colours in it.

Toad in the Hole

Toad in the Hole

I’ve not made this for a really long time and after recently having Yorkshire puddings with my Nana, it gave me a real craving for more lovely batter! There are lots of slightly different ways to make the batter, for me the key is to get as much air in it as possible, so get those wrists strengthened!

2012 in review

The lovely people here at WordPress created an annual review of my blog. I found this quite interesting to see what people are actually looking at overall. I check my stats quite a lot, but am often just looking to see what people were looking at this week. I’ve shared this here just in case anyone else wishes to read it. I doubt it, but maybe you might. It made me think about how few posts I’ve written in the past few months though, and has inspired me to start blogging again more regularly.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,300 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 7 years to get that many views.
