Surrey Cream Tea

The family popped over for a cream tea in our garden. Luckily the sun came out later in the afternoon which meant we could sit outside without a cardi on!

I made traditional English scones accompanied with clotted cream and strawberry jam. I also made a lemon drizzle cake, which I am told was really nice. I didn't manage to get a slice before it was all eaten :(  I also made a strawberry milkshake cake topped with white chocolate mice. A cake for those with a very very sweet tooth. Maybe even a a bit too sweet for me which is saying something!

Healthier Homemade Granola

Homemade Granola. I have been meaning to make my own granola for ages, so I am so pleased that at long last I did it and even better, it tastes really good! I like knowing what is exactly in my granola - no hidden sugars, which often happens with bought granola.  Here's the quick and easy recipe I used:- 1 Banana - mashed up 3 tbsp Maple syrup or honey 80g Peanut butter (or any nut butter) 210g mixed unsalted chopped nuts 160g rolled oats 100g dried fruit 1 tsp cinnamon Instructions:- Mix mashed banana, peanut butter & maple syrup/honey. Add chopped nuts, oats & cinnamon to the mix. Spread the mixture thinly on a baking tray. Bake for 20 mins in oven 170c/325f. Once cooled ad the mixed fruit. Store in air tight jar for up to 2 weeks. Delicious with Greek yoghurt!
