May 2023 Round Up.
I can’t believe that it’s the last day of May already. Where has this month gone? It has been a crazy month. May is birthday month in our house- first it was my son’s birthday and then mine comes two weeks later! So there has been lots of excuses to celebrate. At the beginning of…

Pitta Breads- #100bakeschallenge
Back at Christmas 2021 my friend bought me a really useful gift- a poster from Crumbs By Collette, which features 100 scratch off squares. Each square underneath reveals a picture of a well known traditional bake. As you bake that particular item, you scratch off the square. It doesn’t have a time frame to be…

Cornish Pasties- A Great British Bake Off Recipe.
I’m still working my way through my #100bakesposterchallenge and am really enjoying it. There are bakes I’ve made before a few times over and some I haven’t tried at all. Usually the ones I haven’t tried are down to whether they look complicated or are much easier to buy ready made. I must admit I…

Paul Hollywood’s Focaccia: #100bakesposterchallenge No 74.
Yeast baking and bread making is my nemesis! I’m not confident baking bread at all. Things either don’t rise or they look a complete mess. So when I have to make anything bread or yeast related, I run for the hills! Now as you know, I have my #100bakeschallengeposter on the go and by New…

New Year’s Day Tiramisu: #100bakeschallenge No 73.
Happy New Year! Hope that 2023 brings you everything you hope and wish for after such a turbulent year last year. I was glad to see the back of 2022 to be honest. But sometimes I think different year, same s***! I have a few things to look forward to in 2023 but I am…

Easy Pop Tarts #100bakesposter
Hands up who loves Pop Tarts? I do, although they’re something I don’t eat that often as they aren’t healthy. I first remember them being in the UK when I was at uni back in the early 1990s, although they had been around for a lot longer than that elsewhere. I remember the original varieties…

My #100bakeschallengeposter Progress Update
Last Christmas my friend Amy gave me a brilliant present. It was a giant poster from Crumbs By Colette and it features 100 scratch off squares. Underneath each scratch off square is a picture of a traditional or popular bake. The idea is that you choose one of the squares, bake the recipe and then…

Dundee Cake
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve been able to bake and I’ve really missed it. Our kitchen has had a revamp- a new floor, painted walls and soon to have new light fittings. Why not a completely brand new kitchen? For a start there is nothing wrong with our old one and we…

October 2022 Baking Round Up
Once again I’ve not kept up to date with my blog, even though there has been several attempts to write posts over the last few weeks. It’s the same with my Facebook page. There’s always something which gets forgotten about and neglected. So this post is rounding up what has been made in the SmartCookieSam…

Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
Tuesday 13th September 2022. I have been wanting to make Key Lime Pie for a while. Not only is it another challenge for the #100bakeschallenge poster but it’s one I’ve not made for a while. I think the last time I made it I tried to make a healthier version but it ended up going…
