I’m using a Rosemary Conley recipe with a couple of tweaks, i.e. using spring onions in the mash.
Pictures later if I can!
Fish pie. Was exceedingly good! Although next time I won’t put vegetable stock in my sauce like Rosemary Conley suggests.
Click through for the recipe I used.
My first ever fish pie is in the oven.
First attempt at coffee and walnut cake. Need to make the middle bit neater somehow.

These Strawberry Cheesecake Bites are simple and so, SO good! A low fat cheesecake filling is stuffed inside of hollowed out strawberries and then dipped into graham cracker crumbs. All the flavor of strawberry cheesecake and just a fraction of the calories. Perfect to fill in that sweet tooth at any time.
Ingredients:
- 4 oz of low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar (depends on how sweet you want the filling)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 10-20 strawberries ( quantity is your choice )
- 1/4 cup of graham crackers crumbs
Instructions:
Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out inside with a paring knife if necessary. I found most of the strawberries already had a nice hollow center so that step was not necessary. If you want to stand your strawberries upright ( like in the picture ) slice a bit off the bottom.Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla with a mixer or by hand. Add cream cheese mix to piping bag ( you can use a Ziploc bag ) and fill strawberries. Once strawberries are filled dip the top in graham cracker crumbs. Devour and fall in love. Enjoy! You could also drizzle or dip strawberries in chocolate if desired.

Here’s the second attempt at simnel cake - a thousand times better than the first.
Just baked my second simnel cake.
Couldn’t really give the family a broken cake so the first is being distributed around various people.
It worked out as 611 calories per slice, which is a lot but i’ll burn it off and I hardly ever get fruit cake.
The tray bake in the disposables…
Only time will tell.

This is what i’m making tonight, but we don’t have a roasting tin. I’m using disposable foil trays. They’re too small. Is this going to work??

Frozen Banana Bites
2 large bananas
1/4 to 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
1/4 to 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
Unsweetened coconut flakesSet out a large plate or bowl with a piece of parchment or wax paper on it. Cut up the bananas into good-sized chunks. Each banana should give you around 5 to 6 pieces. Heat the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave on high for about a minute. Then stir until smooth. Dip the banana pieces in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Lay them out leaving some space between them on the parchment/wax paper. Then when you’ve “covered” them all, use the remaining mixture to spoon over the tops (for even more chocolate-y goodness). Then sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes on top. Transfer to the freezer for about an hour until hardened (or over night).
Going to make these now.
