Chocolate Mint Cookies Recipe

[Ad – Gifted Products] I feel like this time of year is when everyone is baking! One of the things my family has always done is cookie trays, which are gifted to everyone. Following the same sort of spirit, I create smaller cookie boxes for my in-laws, neighbours and Pokemon Go community. Last year I shared our Chewy Lemon Cookies Recipe, which is still a big favorite, and previously I shared our Hazelnut Melting Moments Cookie recipe as well. This year, I made some chocolate mint cookies with Organic Cocoa Powder from Food Thoughts. This cocoa powder is 100% natural, without any added sugar, making it perfect for baking as you do not need to worry about adjusting the sugar level.

Levelling-up Easy Cheesecake with Opies Black Cherries

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to the holiday season, often baking and cooking go hand in hand.

Using easy ingredients and minimal effort, we’ve created a no bake cheesecake Opies Black Cherries in Kirsch.

Love Corn Snacks – Perfect for Packed Lunches

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve been fans of the corn snack Love Corn for quite some time now, so we were delighted when we saw that they are now doing smaller, travel-sized packs, along with a new flavor to try out! Love Corn, if you aren’t familiar, is a crunchy corn snack that are air roasted instead of fried, making it a fun, low-calorie snack. These corn snacks reminded me of beer snacks when I first had them (and since I’ve been to Spain recently, where they often have crunchy corn snacks served with beer).

Midweek Meal Inspo; Meatballs, Some Curry Dishes, Sweet Potato Nachos and More

This week we played around with sweet potato, as this was one of our highlighted ingredients. I have been cutting down on my meat consumption, having alternative versions of a lot of the dinners that I have been making, so there are more meat-free options than their have been in previous weeks. There are also some fantastic comfort foods and lots of foods that Amelia very much enjoyed – I think this is her favorite mix yet of new stuff and classics that she enjoyed.

Halloween Dinner Ideas

I think there is something so much fun about themed dinners! We love having a bit of fun with presentation, especially around the holiday seasons. Halloween does get a little repetitive with the dinner ideas that I find on the internet, as they are primarily a lot of party food. So, this year, I have put together my own list of Halloween Dinner Ideas that are actual dinners, not just party food, to feed a family. We do have our best Halloween Lunchbox ideas and a list of Easy Spooky Halloween Treats, if you are looking for more inspo.
