Coffee Morning


On Tuesday morning my Mam held a coffee morning in aid of Foot Prints For Leah. Coffee mornings are always a good way to help support a charity as it really gets people involved while raising money for a good cause. It was a nice morning out as well which always gets people out a little more. 


The day before my Mam spent the entire day baking Scones, rocks buns, brown bread, banana bread, tea cake and fruit buns. 


That night I got a little done myself making macaroons, chocolate biscuit cake and mini cupcakes. 




My aunty even baked for the day making slimming world tiramisu and black forest roulade so that the slimming world members that would be there that morning would have something nice with their tea or coffee and not go off their plan. There was enough to feed an army in the end but it's nice to treat those who come out and support the day.



 As it is the summer a some people couldn't make it as they are away on their holidays but where so nice to give a donation before hand or have some one who was coming drop it in. It's these days that you really see how generous and kind people can be. 





My Mam so happy with the turn out and all the donations for the day and to be able to help towards a great cause. 

Thanks for reading Neads xx

Home Made Bread

The finished Project 


I decided to spend my Sunday baking bread. I haven't done this in ages and forgot how long it takes, but very worth it. The house now smells of lovely fresh bread and it tastes gorgeous. I went with a bloomer type loaf and am so happy with how it's turned out that I think it has brought back my bread baking bug. My sister who is coeliac has now asked me to make one but gluten free so that's what I will be working on this week. Since I don't like recipes that don't turn out as well as hoped I usually make up my own and a fluffy and crusty gluten free loaf is my next project.

                              After all the kneading and proofing and ready to go in the oven.
