About me:
I'm a busy, working Mum of three busy kids, aged 9, 8 and 6. Between them, they keep my husband and me run off our feet but we do try to eat together every day. I live in England but found a love of American food when visiting a friend's house when I was young. I was a skinny looking kid and her wonderful Mom insisted on trying to fatten me up a bit - Who was I to stop her?!

Classic Waffles

Reviewed on May 20, 2009 by Effie 
Just the recipe I needed for my new waffle iron. Inever have buttermilk in so this suits me fine. I do use a lot of oil so they don't come out healthy but are crispy and lite.

Crumpets

Reviewed on Apr. 13, 2009 by Effie 
I neeed to practise these, I think. They are a bit heavier than shop bought, but they taste really fresh and are quick to make for a yeast rise. I used rings of kitchen foil, which were a bit flimsy.

Bananas Foster I

Reviewed on Feb. 26, 2009 by Effie 
Really simple but also delicious. I wasn't sure the sauce would come together - it had separated a bit, but when the bananas went it, it all cooked down beautifully. This was dessert after Chinese food so I added a pinch of Chinese Five Spice with the cinnamon and Cointreau instead of rum because we didn't have any.
