In the afternoons I love to grab a sneaky piece of choc or some cake – this could replace that easily!

Eating “healthy” popcorn that you Sprinkled “A little bit” of salt on & doused in “a bit” of butter, because we all know that the 1 tbsp of butter is itself 100 calories. (Sadly you used the whole stick :P)

They’ll be replacing my morning jelly cup addiction :)

Mrs. Joe Pastry

So I just got this new job as a housekeeper to an extremely nice family. One of my responsibilities will be to prepare some of the family meals. One thing that I’d like to do before I move in is to refresh my memory on some of the great recipes I’ve created and carried out in the past to do for the family.

So…I looked up different recipes I knew and ones that i’d like to try and I came upon a great blog called Joe Pastry. On the blog recipes and different unique ingredients are broken down into steps so that that common cook can create things that they would usually buy in the stores pre-made…from scratch.

Things such as Biscuits and Marshmallows…So I’m Featuring it this week.
