Well done on all the baking. Lovely to hear of a busy young mum baking.

Thank You. I am actually really enjoying it. I used to do a lot before having the 2 boys, then when my 2 year old was younger I worked in a sandwich shop which my mother in law owned, and I did a lot of the cakes for the shop for a few months, but since falling pregnant with my 14 week old last year, I seemed to stop baking - not really too sure why, just sort of happened. I don't really enjoy "shop bought" cakes - I find them to sweet and sticky alot of the time, and shop bought quiches tend to be flavourless etc. I like knowing exactly what my little boy is eating as well, and he seems to much prefer home cooked and baked food too.
I would love to make my own bread as well, I know how to, just haven't got round to it yet. I love the look of the JJs cheesy herb bread you made a short while ago.

I am making some more JJ's Cheesy Herb Bread today. We had some at lunchtime - FF - delicious.
So agree about wanting to know what goes into our mouths. Sometimes I read/count the ingredients in shop stuff - don't buy but makes you realise how few ingredients there are in HM compared to bought.
I have some milk - gone off - phew! :eek:
Also found from the garage stock - blame Mr F - he was in charge of stock rotation in there - tin of John West Red Salmon - 2008. :eek:
This one is down to me - Feta - should have been used in July.
I am off to bake.

Are you making scones with the milk that has gone off?:D

I have made a lemon drizzle cake. It can't cool down quick enough for me to have a slice or two.

Used the milk in quiches + JJ's Herby Cheese Bread.

I made a batch of pastry - result - 3 quiches. I have some pastry left in the fridge.
Plus I made JJ's Cheesy Herb Bread - had to use an old cake tin as baking trays all in use.

I'm making my first ever batch of bread pudding - we're trying to cut down on food waste and we are terrible for letting ends of bread go stale. This could be the solution - watch this space!

You can always use the bread ends to make breadcrumbs too.
