One Pan Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Rice

So I couldn't think of a creative name for this - all I can say is... Wow.

I discovered the recipe on Facebook of all places, one of those timelapse videos, and thought - that sounds amazing. I tinkered with the recipe a little, after all, I am a fussy bugger, and came up with the recipe below. It's delicious!! And only needs one pan, so minimal washing up - which is ideal in my eyes!

Tickton Grange - a getaway to remember

I recently had the good fortune to visit a rather lovely hotel, just outside Beverley, Hull.

As the very patient wife of a man who likes to play numerous sports as well as working a busy job, I jumped at the chance of a night away to ourselves, which was to include a delicious dinner. And a spot of shopping in Hull - a place I had never visited before.

Slingsby Gin


I was given a bottle of Slingsby Gin as an early Christmas gift, and have to be honest, I had never heard of it! But I was so intrigued by the beautiful bottle, and the fact that it is made fairly locally to me - in Harrogate. So of course, I simply had to taste it as soon as responsibly possible (i.e. not whilst at work, driving or in charge of two small children) and tell you about it!

Here I am!

Goodness me, it's been a while! So I've been a really terrible blogger, and not posted anything at all for a number of months. Six of them to be precise.

It's been a bit of a mad time, just being a mum and working, and trying (and failing) to maintain some level of sanity!
