Bacon Roll Ups
I was given this recipe for bacon roll ups at a party a long time ago by the hostess. It's a really easy appetizer to make and always the first one to disappear. Toothpicks are necessary to secure these little roll ups.
Simple Banoffee Pie
I tried three different banoffee pie recipes I found online and in a recipe book. So I've made my own version of the banoffee pie using the basis of the recipes I have found and added a bit of a twist! My partner and friends love this and I hope you will too.
