Feast or famine! It goes like that … one week I will be so inspired to try new recipes, and cook and bake all week, then other weeks, I’m running around like a chicken without a head and can’t seem to find a minute to be in my favourite room of the house … the kitchen.

So after a mammoth week last week, it was a breathe of fresh air to have a weekend of no plans … instead, doing the things we enjoy, like having time to play guitar, sipping hot tea in front of the roaring fire and spending many fun hours in the kitchen cooking and baking.

And boy do I have some yummy recipes to share with you.

These heavenly dark chocolate cookies are absolutely moreish! I managed to have one, and before I knew it, the boys had gobbled up the whole batch! Next time I think I’ll need to double the recipe.
