• Summer Baking Update

  

  Hello everyone! I’m getting back onto my blog after a couple of month’s break. Blogging seems to have fallen by the wayside again. I just wanted to enjoy my summer without being tied to the computer. Now as I type, it is the first week of September and I am back to work in school. […]

• June Baking Update #100bakeschallenge

  

  It’s the beginning of July and I’ve been so behind with my SmartCookieSam blog. It seems I only have time to update it in the school holidays at the moment and that really upsets me as I love doing it. I’ve had a busy time recently and as normal, the blogging gets pushed to the […]

• Baking Update!

  

  Hi everyone! I feel as if it’s a lifetime since I last updated my blog. My last post was just around Easter, I think. As soon as we got into the second week of the Easter holidays, I began to feel unwell. I have been using HRT for nearly two years and due to the […]

• Daim Caramel Mini Egg Brownies

  

  The other day I had a great response on social media to the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mini Egg Brownie recipe I posted. I also had lots of compliments about them from my work colleagues who actually got to test them out. Tomorrow, they will be getting an alternative flavour. This time, it’s going to be […]

• fitwaffle’s baking it easy- a book review

  

  I must admit I’d never heard of Fitwaffle before I picked up a copy of this book the other day. I’d gone to Northallerton to buy baking supplies and saw Fitwaffle’s Baking It Easy on the shelf in WHSmith! I am always looking out for new baking books. Those of you who know me well, […]

• #100bakes: Lemon drizzle cake

  

  There are quite a few Lemon Drizzle Cakes or variations of Lemon Cakes already on my blog. But I was wanting to contribute a couple of cakes to the Cake Stall at our village coffee morning. Lemon Drizzle cake always seems to be popular at events and a traybake is so easy to make. Just […]

• National Oreo Cookie Day

  

  Who likes Oreo cookies? I do, although they’re not my favourite cookie. I like baking with them, though. I like the mini ones best, which are the lunchbox bag ones with six cookies inside. Yesterday (Sunday, March 5th) was National Oreo Cookie Day according to the My Legoman Foodie Days Of 2022 calendar. When I […]

• Apricot And Cranberry Granola Bars

  Friday 21st January was National Granola Bar Day according to MyLegoMan #MostlyFoodieDaysOf calendar. I love Granola Bars, even though they can be deceptively calorific. I try my hardest not to make or eat them too much, but occasionally the temptation is too much. On Thursday afternoon I was asked to make some Granola Bars so […]
