The first post!

Today is the start of my blog and it has been a proper making and baking day. A feast of flapjacks, gooey lemon bars, cheddar, bacon and leek sandwhich loaf and mexican chicken tortilla soup.



 Golden syrup flapjacks: 250g of porridge oats, 125g of butter, 125g of brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of golden syrup (or a spoon or two more if you like them gooey!). Just blitz it all together in a mixer until it forms a loose dough and press into a ready greased baking tin and pop in the oven for 20 minutes or so.

 The cheddar, bacon and leek sandwhich loaf was a great recipe from good food magazine and can be found here http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2540640/leek-cheddar-and-bacon-loaf-sandwich 
It tastes awesome and isn't nearly as difficult as it sounds. Best eaten pretty much straight out the oven!

This is my first attempt at the lemon bar recipe from the Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook and they are awesome. An almost shortbready biscuit with a creamy lemon curd type topping then dusted with icing sugar. Perfect with a nice cup of tea in the afternoon.

This may not looked like much but this mexican chicken tortilla soup is packed full of hot and sour flavours. Chilli, garlic, sweetcorn, tomatoes and pulled poached chicken in a delicious broth and topped with fried tortilla strips. I will definately be making this again!

Next post I will hopefully be adding in some crafty things including some knitting and sculpey. So stay tuned for next time- Steph x
