Fruity Surprise Ice Lollies
There’s nothing better than an ice cold ice lolly on a hot summer’s day, wouldn’t you agree? But have you had a look at the ingredients lists on commercially prepared lollies? Sugar, refined sugar, and more sugar!

Camp Aite Breagh Chocolate Chip Cookies
Just imagine you are ten years old. You wake up in the morning and unzip your sleeping bag. The sun is streaming through the window and you can hear birds chirping outside.
Applique Flower Pillow Project
The school holidays started this week and the weather, especially this morning, has been dreadful. It’s been grey and dreary and this morning it was pouring down with rain. The children need entertained!

The burnt bread pictured above is the result of this month’s Random Recipes #29 food blogging challenge.
Potato Croquettes
My regular readers may recall me saying on a previous bread post that I’m in a bread phase right now. I’m making and enjoying all sorts of different breads recently and this often forms the main carbohydrate component of a meal.

Rustic French Bread
I go through bread phases. Sometimes I can’t get enough of it and then I go months before I make it again. I’m in a bread phase right now and I’m making (and blogging!) a lot of bread. Fresh bread straight from the oven can’t be beat.
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Following on from my confession in the Rhubarb Ripple Ice Cream with Hazelnut Oat Clusters blog post, my love of all things ice cream and cookie continues to be strong. But who says the cookies have to be cooked? Everyone loves cookie dough, no?
Shetland Flag-Topped Lemon & Seaweed Fairy Cakes
The 21st of June is Shetland Flag Day. Designed in 1969 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the transfer of Shetland from Norway to Scotland the Shetland Flag was not officially recognised until 2005 by the heraldic authority in Scotland.
A Continental Market Visits Shetland
When I woke yesterday it was cold, windy, raining and dreary day in Shetland. Warming comfort food would be required for the evening meal, so I popped a shoulder of locally reared Shetland lamb into the slow cooker with some Moroccan style seasonings.
