Whats Cooking? Blog Hop! Plum Crumble

Hi all :)
I love to bake and I'm always on the lookout for new recipes, so i have decided to attempt my first ever "Blog hop"

The basic idea is to create a weekly "hop" and collect some new recipes to try :) It can be any recipe you like, it doesn't have to be baking
I'm a day early here, but it will be held every Monday (Midnight on Sunday till midnight on Monday) 
Just add your link below :)


This week, i am sharing one of my very favourite recipes, Plum Crumble.

Now this is a very casual Chuck-It-All-In recipe, if you don't have half the ingredients don't worry! Just throw in what ever you have!

For the Filling:

Plums (However many you have at the time of baking)
A sprinkle of sugar
A smidge of nutmeg (not essential don't worry if you don't have it)

For The Crumble:

250g Plain flour
100g sugar
150g butter
couple of digestive biscuits (if you have them) roughly crushed
100g porridge oats


How To:

Pre heat the oven to 200c/180c fan/ gas mark 6
Obviously you'll need to chop your plums and remove the stones
If you have an apple corer use it. They are marvelous for getting the stones out, especially if the plums have just come out of the fridge and are a bit hard.
Add any other ingredients you fancy! Leftover apples? Throw them in! Sultanas? Go for it! 
Pop them in a pan,add a sprinkle of sugar and nutmeg, cover with water and let them simmer for 10minutes, just to soften.
Meanwhile, make your crumble mix.
Pop the flour and butter into a bowl and rub together, add the sugar,stir it in and do the same with the oats and biscuits, they add a lovely texture.

When your plums (and other ingredients) are nice and soft plop them in a baking dish and spread out to cover the bottom

Sprinkle the crumble on top 
Pop it in the oven and let bake for 30- 40mins until golden brown on top
Add custard/cream/ ice cream and enjoy!
Yum!

Bullet Journalling, Seed Preparing And Yarning Along

Hi guys :) The other day, while scrolling through Pinterest, i came across the idea of a  Bullet Journal   The basic idea is to condense everything into one handy little book, if you click the link it will explain it much more succinctly than me. There's a video too :) This is a great journal for me as i can personalize how i like, everything is in one place and this year i may actually manage to be organized! I created my own little planner from an old hard back book that was falling apart I covered it in pretty wallpaper samples and added a pocket to slide in the blank notebook i got for Christmas And added a little cartoon me :) I am following the idea of the bullet journal for the most part, but the beauty of it is you can personalize it exactly to your needs I created a layout that suited me, with morning, afternoon and evening sections and my own little colour code system at the bottom, though this may change depending on if i f...

Drama!

Hi guys, sorry i haven't been around much this week, i've been a very bad blogging neighbour, but i will try and get around everyone's blogs this evening (This is my new mantra) What a bloody week! First, i was awoken by the Bearded Wonder in the early hours on Sunday morning having chest pains and violently shivering, my poor hubby has a heart murmur, so this was doubly worrying, though i distinctly remember saying "what do you expect me to do about it?" thinking he was just cold (i'm not a great thinker when i've just woken up lol) then grumpily told him to go make me a cup of tea to get his circulation going , then i sort of got my act together, 999 was called and i was instructed to give him 4 aspirin and wait for the ambulance to turn up. They came and checked him over and hooked him up to the heart monitor thingy whilst i rushed about like a headless chicken packing a bag, fully expecting to go to hospital, only to be told...

Round Up

Hi guys, Happy New Year :D Would you believe it'll be a year in late Feb since we moved here, where did that go? And what a year! I've made so many new friends, in real life and through blogging, and i was kept busier than i ever expected to be. For which i am eternally grateful. When i first started this blog i had a list of things that i wanted to learn and do throughout the year Some of them i have done, but a lot seem to have fallen by the wayside, so i am going to keep the list and add to it for this year The Old List Crafts and Home Master the knitting machine- nope, but in my defense i need 4ply yarn which i am still looking for a bargain on. Make jumpers/socks/blankets etc from said machine- As above Crochet more clothes and things for the home- Check- i am currently crocheting a blanket, and have made a few small things including Christmas decorations Spin yarn-  Check! Weave-not yet, i have the kit, but just need to find the right p...
