Porridge
Porridge is an art in Scotland – there’s even a golden spurtle award for the best porridge making (a spurtle is the special tool used to stir the dish in the pot). It really is a great weekend breakfast if you don’t have time to cook it up during the week, but it doesn’t take an awful lot longer than pouring milk over cereal to be honest! Our version doesn’t include salt or sugar or milk in its manufacture… pure and simple! Add whatever you like as a topping – we definitely think it needs your input to make it more interesting and tasty. Our measurements serve one….

Chocolate Beetroot Cake

Our recipe made enough for 5 small heart cakes and a 9″ shallow cake – Lots of love x…

Keep this sunshine inside with this great lunch dish. …
How to Grow Sprouts
Growing your own bean spouts is surprisingly easy to do. All you need is a couple of jam jars to make loads of healthy, nutritious bean sprouts to add to salads and stir fries. Mung bean & lentil sprouts can be done together in the same jar and take about 3 or 4 days depending on the warmth of the kitchen. Alfalfa takes a day or two longer so is best grown in its own jar….
