I go through phases where I cook up a storm or do nothing very much and it is all takeaways. This week the former can be applied to me, I have decided to bake (and eat freeze most of the cooking so that there is always a cake or biscuit in the house at weekends when I cannot be arsed to bake.

Thus far I have made a massive carrot cake - I ate 5 slices yesterday - I just kept taking one whenever I went into the kitchen!! But I froze a load too. I made shortbread, more scones, lemon squares, coconut macaroons (most of these didn't make it to the freezer!), chocolate chip cookies and a cherry and almond cake. I also made a pile of peppermint chocolate sticks, but they went the way of the macaroons.
Today I am going to concentrate on savouries and will be making cheese straws, cheese and onion, cheese and sundried tomato and cheese and bacon savoury scones, lamb pasties and bacon and cheese puffs.

Just thought I would let you all know that I am not being lazy - greedy yeah, but lazy NO.
