Apple crumble !!!!! Best of the best apples locally sourced supporting our british farmers 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 gotta love smashing around a pack of digestive or nice biscuits sometimes even using ginger snaps as an alternative to give that extra sweet and spicy kick or even try adding oats that you use for porridge to add that extra crunch. Or if you like to be traditional in creating your own crumble follow the below recipe.

Sticking to my east recipes this is definitely a must !!! Get the kids to help too !!!

5 heaped tbsp margarine/butter

2 heaped tbsp caster sugar

10 heaped tbsp plain flour

55g oats

2 heaped tbsp brown sugar

5-6 apples

3 tbsp any flavour juice (EG cherry, pineapple etc)

Splash of water

Preheat the oven to gas mark 5/180C.

Add all the I ingredients in a large bowl apart from the apples, brown sugar, juice, and splash of water. So that's the flour, caster sugar, margarine and oats and combine until you have crumbly mixture a bit like bread crumbs

For the apples cut them into small pieces not too small and add them too a another bowl. Add the brown sugar to the apples and the juice I like pineapple gives a unique twist of taste. Add your splash or water and done

Final step

Add the apple mix I to you baking dish and then add the crumble mix on top. Place it into the oven for about 25 to 40 minutes checking to see it reach that lovely baked golden colour x

ENJOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ❤👍🏾😎

Burger and fries !!!
I can wholeheartedly take credit for the burger that does look like a 2 year old put it together ( I wonder !!!) The chips however they look soo perfect and not to mention the Mc Cain's chips were on special for £2 for the MEGA PACK !!!!! Bargain !1

Anyways for the burger the breaded chicken breast was homemade. Simply dipping chicken breast selections in egg, then breadcrumbs then into the frying pan making sure they are golden and crispy or however you may prefer. ( Fry to your own perfection)

(cant actually remember if they are dipped in flour as well but the instructions are on the tin of breadcrumbs :D )

The buns are courtesy of Selfridges foodhall Brioche buns Sooo Delicious right ! and of course a bit of mayo or ketchup or both, i decided to go all out and practically squeeze the majority of the bottle. sometimes i still crave a bit of Mayo even after having Luke !!!

It didn't at all take a lot of time to make thus creating a quick and tasty and FILLING dinner for both parents and kids. As a working mum quick and homemade recipes are definitely the way forward !!!!!!

Angel Food Cake. Is it food or Cake ??

Whatever it is its DELICIOUS
