White Chocolate and Raspberry Brownies
Brownies are always a winner in my opinion. Birthday party? Brownies. Movie night? Brownies. Car broke down? Brownies! Pronto! This recipe came about when preparing an end-of-summer get together with friends. 10 adults and 14 kids to be precise. There would be plenty of food to go around between homemade pizza’s (in the new pizza…

All about Stripes.
Stripes… Every time I open my wardrobe I am faced with two things. An almighty mess. And stripes. Stripes have long been a staple in our wardrobes. This classic style has associations with sailors and the pioneers of style.. the French. Ooh-la-la! And this pattern does not fall victim to seasonal changes. They look just…

The Brown Thomas January Sale is drawing to a close. Yep, that’s right – January is nearly over, hurrah! The most awaited sale of the year will be wrapping up on the 1st February and although the magic of the Brown Thomas sale is somewhat subdued this year, (no stroll around Stephen’s Green with a…

Meghan Inspired Style
I searched around and found some downright Duchess-inspired bargains! Love Meghan or loathe her, there’s no denying the girl has got style. Whether her hair is long and flowing, or tied up in a messy bun Meghan just oozes a certain je-ne-sais-quoi (except nous savons quoi…) Her laid back American boho chic teamed with the…

Easy Peasy Lemon & Parmesan Crusted Salmon
This is actually not really my recipe at all. It’s my mother’s. But I was so impressed with it that I simply had to try it myself. “What recipe did you use?” “I just made it up! I thought to myself hmmm what can I do with this Salmon? – Didn’t I?!” She gestured toward…

January: This month I’m…
Re-watching Breaking Bad Yeah Bitch! Re-living the misadventures of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman is quite literally giving me life, and getting the kids up to bed in the evening faster than you can say Heisenberg. And although melting bodies in bathtubs isn’t exactly my thing, I just cannot get enough of the drama, the…

10 Questions Cabin Crew Hate
Image: Rachel Coyne, Unsplash. Looking back at my time flying, I tend to get rather emotional. I miss the camaraderie between crew, the weekly flights to the States, my yoga class in New York and walk around Central Park afterward. I miss the sales in Macy’s and my morning stroll after brekkie along The…

Movie Night Guacamole
I love Guacamole. I would eat guacamole every day for the rest of my life willingly without being paid (but will accept payment in avocados for those of you offering!) My mother would frequently make guacamole and tortilla chips as a snack for my sister and I growing up. So this is a lifetime addiction…

Super Quick Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
We’ve all been there. Not at all arsed to drag such arses to Aldi for the weekly torture (shop). Convincing ourselves “Ah, there’s enough in to scrape a dinner together this week” (No need for the valium…) But then inevitibly (because we’re moms, not magicians) we go to the press on a Thursday afternoon in…
