To Mum on Mothers day

-

 To Mum,

        Its been 9 years since we last since we last spent a Mothers day together, and that one wasn't exactly what you deserved. It was spent woth you in hospital not well. 

Weirdly this year was a little bit easier than previous year's, dont get me wrong it still hurt and I will always think of you but I was able to enjoy the day without too much emotion. 

Its been a weird year for missing you, some days I feel like the whole world is on my shoulders and I need to vent to you, you were always there to listen and understood my issues. Other days a ok and feel normal in the best sense. 

Being a Mum myself on mothers day really does help I think, knowing that I have 2 monkeys to keep my mind occupied and make me smile gives me that sense of purpose for the day.

I really hope you are proud of who I have become, and I really do wish you were here to enjoy our story still, to watch the girls grow and finally watch me get married.

Love you and Miss you Mum

Victoria x

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be.

With the weather warming up and the BBQ season well on its way, I wanted to share a recipe with you that is a firm favourite in our house, this recipe will help elevate you BBQ tastes with the yummiest burgers that have so much flavour.  Its such a simple seasoning to make and one that you will be able to store for future use too. 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp Paprika 1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion powder 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper We add these herbs and spices into a pestel and mortar and given them a good mix together. When the time comes to make these tasty burgers just grab some 5%  mince and shape into burgers, we now have a burger press to make them more even, then when cooking sprinkle some of the seasoning onto the top side of the burger and flip, then repeat till both sides are covered evenly. This will help the seasoning cook into the meat and make the flavour run througout.  Once cooked serve your burgers the way you like, I personally go...
