I recently discovered Frills In The Hills via Retromummy Corrie, and may have gone just a little crazy reading back on Liss’ recipe archives and picking out new things to try. My eldest son reacts strongly to colourings and certain preservatives, so it’s always exciting to find a blog detailing healthier living and treats for kids that don’t contain twenty different E-numbers.
My first try was Liss’ apricot slice, mainly because I had almost all of the ingredients on hand. They were VERY easy to make, about five minutes in the processor, and have gone down a treat with Declan, Connor isn’t so keen, but he doesn’t have the same sweet tooth as his big brother so I wouldn’t take his word as gospel. I think they’re delicious, about the only thing I would add would be just a couple of drops of vanilla extract to give it even more of a punch.
Next on my list are these Cheese and Bacon Rolls (much to the delight of my husband) and Caramelised Garlic bread (less enthusiasm from husband on this one, he doesn’t subscribe to my theory that there is no such thing as too much garlic).
I adore Liss’s site, so many brilliant recipes. I have not found a website yet that I actually want to cook everything from. I am going to make her baguettes this weekend and actually, now that you mention it, apricot slice would be delicious for afternoon tea!

I definatly agree you can never have too much garlic!
Oh and by the way i love this blog ( i only found it the other weej) and i have spent alot of time on here reading all the old posts and favoriting all the things i want to make!
Thank you!!
So glad you’re enjoying it Nashipear!
My little girl reacts to those colours/flavours/preservatives/additives too. Why, oh why do they still put those things in food? I’ll definately be off to check out those recipes – that apricot slice DOES look nice! Thanks so much for the link! x

What a delightful find this was! I love nothing more than knowing my obsession with food is doing good for others! I so agree on the garlic note! Thank you so much Fern for saying such wonderful things
Sarah and Nashipear – thank you too! <3
Lillabilly – I have some special posts coming up in the next two or three week that focuses on 'the numbers game' (I.e. artificial colours/flavours) and how to have a great party without being that Mum who serves carob!
