Two recipes in as many weeks? I know! Shocking isn’t it. Anyway, after having dinner with a friend and hearing she had declined her mothers kind offer of a surplus marrow, well, being a girl who never turns down a freebie, I put my hand up and volunteered to take the overgrown courgette off their […] The post Minty Marrow Fritters appeared first on Recipes from a Normal Mum ..read more

Okay, so, it’s been a while. What can I say? I felt like nobody wanted a food blog anymore back when I put a dustsheet over this site. Instagram seemed to be the place everyone went for easy recipes, then TikTok. And YouTube, always YouTube. But recently, as I’ve accidentally watched some of those recipe […] The post Easy hot & sour salad appeared first on Recipes from a Normal Mum ..read more

Baking with whey powder isn’t just a substitution game. I learnt this the hard whey (groan, I know, I know). So, whey powder looks like flour, but it doesn’t act like flour, so you can’t just swap it like for like.

So I thought what would be right for Easter Sunday pudding is a really chocolately, really decadent chocolate brownie ice cream sundae. With hazelnut praline sprinkles and hot chocolate Nutella sauce too. Oh and mini […] The post Easter sundae appeared first on Recipes from a Normal Mum ..read more

I have never been one to shirk away from novelty themes. You will find me absolutely cutting sandwiches into dinosaur shapes and creating faces on pizzas through the power of olive eyes and red pepper lips. I like to think it’s a quest to amuse my children, but actually it might just be that I’m […] The post Brain Cake for Halloween appeared first on Recipes from a Normal Mum ..read more

Bircher muesli is a favourite in this house; the oats are so much tastier when soaked overnight in apple juice and milk (sometimes a little cream too).  It’s mostly saved for weeks when there’s little going on. I can’t seem to muster the energy to grate apple and measure out the ingredients before bedtime. But […] The post Bircher Muesli with Breville appeared first on Recipes from a Normal Mum ..read more

So I made a new recipe. I know. Stop. The. Press.  I made some very wholesome (well apart from the syrup and butter) energy heavy flapjacks for my boyfriend who is a mad keen cyclist. He cycles to work. He cycles back from work. He cycles on a Sunday for fun. He watches cycling. He […] The post Energy flapjacks perfect for cyclists appeared first on Recipes from a Normal Mum ..read more
