Spiced Apricot Bliss Balls

Made with nuts. During the COVID-19 lockdown, my kids have been getting up to A LOT of mischief. Being stuck at home meant they were getting into things they shouldn’t, often!

Zucchini Fritters

Zucchinis are such a versatile vegetable. If you love sweet corn fritters, you’ll also love these. Packed with flavour, these make a wonderful addition with added bacon, roasted tomatoes and even a poached egg to make a complete meal.
