Hi Everyone,I’m Nicky – a 36 year old wife and mum of two, living in Cheshire in the UK. A former Disaster Recovery Lead working in IT (I left in July 2014), I’m now concentrating on blogging, writing, juggling school runs, and keeping the wall of toys from invading every bit of carpet in the house.I’m a firm believer in sitting the family down at the table as often as possible for a nice home cooked meal and a catch-up on the day. We usually manage that about 3 or 4 times a week, and I’ll generally cook something quick and simple during the week, saving the more complex or time consuming cooking (as well as a bit of baking) for the weekend.I’m a bit of a food magazine and recipe book addict, so you’ll find some recipes on here that have caught my eye (I’ll always let you know the source) as well as a few of my own creations.I hope you enjoy the recipes and photos (my husband Chris has been trying his best to teach me how to use my camera). Let me know what you think or if there’s anything you’d like to see on the blog
