This is a very quick post tonight..........................
I wanted to write about my last two weekends!!! So the last 2 weekends I have been spending them on my own......as in completely on my own and absolutely loving it! Well actually last Sunday I did have my lovely girls over for a roast and I did go to another friends for a poker night, so maybe not completely alone....but what I mean is not to anyone else's timetable but my own!
This weekend has been a favourite for me......again working to no one else's schedule but my own......I did my usual clean the house, change the bed linen, all the washing etc......then I decided to bake bake bake and cook and of course goes with out saying a little bit of training.
What I cooked this weekend was healthy and felt very therapeutic.
Saturday I made Cinnamon and Chicken Stew for dinner......it was delicious. I would never have thought to add Cinnamon to a chicken dish.

Then cause I was loving cooking I thought I want to BAKE! So bake I did. I started off with Banana and Pecan Flapjacks. First attempt and they were quite moist for a flapjack and very healthy. Then I moved onto Fig and Walnut Biscotti. Ever so yummy. I am now a fan of figs....nom nom.

Then finally tonight I made a batch of Chocolate Chunk and Almond cookies with raspberries. I added the raspberries in for hit of colour and added moisture. Can I just say they are delicious but then I would cause I cooked them ha ha ha.
