When I think of America, one of the many things that spring to mind are the cheese biscuits from Red Lobster. These make a wonderful accompaniment to your BBQ. Simple to make. Eat them hot but believe me when I say they won’t last long on the dinner table!

I am a mummy with two young kids, and a passion for cooking, good food, fresh produce plus bargain food buys.

Pulled Pork
An American tribute. Back in the day before kids, Daniel and I travelled a fair amount. Our biggest trip was in 2012 in a RV where we drove from Key West in the Florida Keys to New Jersey. This was a massive RV and slept 6 people which we hired for $1 a day to…
