It may be cold but we are still going out!

 I never thought I would be that crazy family that are out in all weathers. But this family NEED to get out of the house more often than not. Being around each other 24/7 can be draining at the best of times but add into that a hyper pre-schooler and a baby and is a recipe for disaster. So these are some of our outings so far in January :)

 Our first outing was to Capstone Country Park on New Years Day, it certainly blew out the cobwebs!!

Next up was a trip to Riverside Country Park to let Tsuki have another go on her bike (it didnt go well and we carried all the way round). But, the play area is now open after being shut for MONTHS and it was really good.

 An impromptu visit to KFC was needed also...

Then Kidzone, soft play, also known as the 7th circle of hell. Im sorry, but I cannot stand these places even at half price. Ick.

An attempt at cooking

Im not sure if Ive mentioned this, but Im not a chef, nor a cook. I like to bake but I rarely take a trip into savoury territory, barring spaghetti or shepherds pie. But I saw This Post from LouLouLoves and it looked so lovely that I thought I`d give it a go!
Now, this is a household of PICKY eaters, every one of us is picky. So I decided that I would do a base of cheese and bacon then add in some extras for me and Tsuki (Pastrami, pepperami, mushrooms).

(Yes my house is super messy!)
I ate all mine, it was YUMMY, although next time I wouldnt use extra mature cheddar as it was a bit over powering. Tsuki had a nibble which is normal for lunchtime and David said it was 'nice' which is fairly good :)
Next on the list is to find the receipe for Toad in the Hole that I made a while ago because David is pestering me like a toddler to make it for him!
