Grow your own

I'm not normally one for gardening but this year Iv decided to put in the effort and have even been growing my own strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce and herbs. I never thought I would enjoy it but I actually love being out in the garden and being able to eat the produce I have grown I feel like it's a real achievement :) 

Meatball pasta

This was so easy to make and super scrummy!! All the ingridients were bought from Aldi so it was cheap too! 

All you need is some pasta, an onion, 1 clove of garlic, a green pepper, a tin of chopped tomatoes, a oxo cube and some meatballs. 

First you chop and fry the onions and garlic together untill the onions are slightly golden and see through. Then chop the pepper and add the the pan, then the meatballs and fry until the outside of them is all brown. Then add the tin of the tomatoes and the oxo cube and stir and put in the oven for 45 minutes at 180 degrees. When there is 15 minutes to go cook the pasta and drain and add to the meatball mix, stir and serve with some grated cheddar cheese on top.....yum!

Here's one I made earlier

This is a wedding cake I made with my friend Gema for our friend Gina's wedding at the start of June. The bottom tier was fruit cake made by Gema and I made the middle tier which was chocolate guiness cake with a white chocolate frosting and the top was made by me and that was lemon cake with lemon butter cream. 

Vegiterian shepherds pie

I had my mother in law who is a vegetarian staying this weekend. I always like to cook her something nice for dinner so she feels welcome. This went down a treat with everyone including my husband who doesn't normally like anything healthy lol. The recipe was from BBCgoodfood.com
