This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Dorie’s Cookies was a strange one indeed – involving corn kernels in a shortbread-y type cookie (containing cornmeal) with popcorn and streusel on top.

Les Petits Chefs make Jamie Oliver’s healthy cheese & corn pancakes with bacon & caramelised banana
We’re back! That’s right, Les Petits Chefs is back in session for the term and I couldn’t be happier! The beginning of the school year is always a little bit chaotic (for teachers, too!) so I like to cook something simple with the boys on the first week of club to see where we are […]
