Rosemary Chicken with New Potatoes & Olives

I’m a huge fan of one pot cooking, it’s the lazy girl in me coming out. I love being able to throw everything into one dish and then bang it in the oven. Plus having only one dish to wash up at the end is the added bonus. This is one of my favourite summer recipes and so easy to do. Put all your ingredients in one roasting dish, cook for about an hour and a half and then eat. Perfect for lazy Sunday afternoons when you would rather be out in the sun than slaving away in the kitchen!

Love The Little Things #27 & #28

Yay, my exam marking is eventually all finished and it feels like I can start to get my life back and begin to look forward to the summer holidays (8 more get ups to go). So much seems to have happened over the past couple of weeks, it’s been a little bit of a whirlwind trying to fit everything in and the one thing I have had to give up spending time with is my little blog here.  I’m looking forward to us spending some quality time together over the next few weeks and getting re-acquainted. Read I’ve barely read anything…

Love The Little Things #25 & #26

At the moment it really doesn’t feel like there are enough hours in the day. It’s my own fault because back in March when I got offered a contract to do exam marking it sounded so far in the future and I always forget just how time consuming it is. I’ve got about two weeks of it left to do and then I can kick back and look forward to the summer hols. Anyways, please forgive me for combining the past 2 weeks. I kept trying to start last weeks post but then something kept cropping up and it never…

Love The Little Things #24

At the minute it feels like I have a much neglected little blog. This week has been slightly crazy and I’ve barely had the time to check in at all. Hubby has been down in London for the past 2 days, my Year 11’s, 12’s and 13’s have all had exams this week (so lots of last minute revision sessions) plus we’ve had the builders at home so we are living like vampires in the house of eternal darkness. Perfect timing just as the sun decides to show it’s face. Throw into the mix I’m in the middle of exam…
