    Best Ever Pumpkin Spice Muffins

    I may be a little behind on the pumpkin hype (especially considering we’re halfway through November now), but these Pumpkin Spice Muffins are too good not to share! If you like carrot cake, you’re going to love these. Not only light, fluffy and delicious, but when combined with a healthy dollop of cream cheese icing, you’ll be devouring every last crumb! If you have the time and some leftover pumpkin, you can boil the flesh in a saucepan with some water to use as your pumpkin filling. (Takes about 10 – 15 minutes).

The first was by my…

The great thing about soup is you can pretty much chuck any vegetables you like into a pot, boil it up, blitz until smooth and you’ve got a warm bowl of healthy goodness.  This recipe stemmed from my ski season days as it’s the ideal changeover day starter. You can have it ready and waiting for your guest’s arrival, without worrying whether it will spoil if they’re delayed.  By roasting the pumpkin, you’ll not only have an easier time removing the skin, but it will add a slightly charred…
