Reggae Reggae sauce & mayo

Errrr LUSH!

No bake cheesecake

My mum's never liked baked cheesecake so for most of my 20 years I haven't been exposed to cheesecake but a recipe she saw on the tv brought this Lime &white chocolate cheesecake into our home. 
Refreshing, sweet and indulgent, this cheesecake is lemon squeasy easy and tastes amazing! 
Shortbread & white chocolate base with lime juice &zest, condensed milk and Philly cheese topping. Yum! 
This is just the beginning of my love affair with cheesecake. 

Browning bananas?

Make a banana loaf but jazz it up with some dark chocolate flakes or caramelised walnuts (I chose both) 
Perfect with a cup of tea :)

To Health...

Flaked smoked mackerel and lemon juice. Balsamic vinegar, salt & sugar cucumber ribbons. Baby spinach leaves, boiled baby potatoes, red onion, red cabbage, beer root & chopped apple. 
Delicious summer dinner :) 

Home cooking

So I've moved home for summer (first time since I left for uni 2years ago) and my cooking has really developed. It's the first time I've been confident cooking for my mum, queen of food. 
Here is a version of a roast. My mum is allergic to sooo many things therefore this roast is a bit unusual. 
She prepared some Turkey whilst the kid and I had left over stewed chicken. 
I made roasted sweet potato & parsnips accompanied by boiled broccoli topped with a seriously strong cheddar, goats milk & cornflour roux. Seasoned with salt, pepper and mustard. And topped with even more cheese and cuts of bacon. 

So much flavour in everything, we polished it all off!
