Mandarins this time of year are simply divine. Full of juice, amazingly sweet and perfectly packaged these little babies make the ultimate on-the-go baby led weaning snack. Lately, a day doesn't go by without one of these bright orange autumnal fruits finding its way into our lunch box and ultimately Miss G's. tummy. She absolutely adores them.

strawberry & apple oat crisp bars
Oh it feels so wonderful to be back in the kitchen and baking once again. We've just experienced one of the most unbelievably crazy months.

Grace's appetite all but vanished. The only ...
