Make a Baileys & Rum Espresso Martini with me

It's the season to be merry and I can confirm you'll be positively merry after sipping one of my Baileys & Rum Espresso Martini. I'm a huge fan of Espresso Martinis but the thing I love the most is that you can adapt them with so many other ingredients. I used Kraken Rum to add a little warmth to the drink, perfect for those cold December evenings.

Super Easy Reindeer Cupcakes for Christmas

Falalalalala... It is the time for festive baking and I'm coming in strong with a new recipe from Thermomix - Reindeer Cupcakes! Okay, so I have slightly changed their recipe and adapted it to plain ol' vanilla fairy cakes but their own caramel buttercream MAKES this and oh boy are they good! 

What will you be making this Christmas?

Five Happy Things // November '22

And just like that there's another new month and update - I don't even want to think about next month and Christmas, okay I tell a lie - I'm five Christmas films deep already! I feel like I've blinked and I'm back to Christmas shopping, mince pies and tinsel again. November went by so quickly, especially now we're in the thick of school runs every day and precious weekends as a family together. 

We have truly tried to make the most of it though - we've baked, gone on long walks, and started planning for Christmas and I'm quite excited about what December might hold.

Let's have a nose at last month first...
