peanut m&m brownies.

When life gives you peanut M&Ms, make brownies. These chocolatey treats are made from my favourite basic brownie recipe with added yumminess. It uses ground almonds which not only makes them gluten free, but also adds a certain nuttiness to the final flavour. You can add any of your favourite sweets really but I just love peanut M&Ms here - making for tiny treats as you munch your way through the brownie. Gooey on the inside, with a chocolate crust on the outside. As brownies should be, in my opinion.

#breakforcake with mr. kipling's exceedlingly good slices + giveaway.

From their candy pink angel slices to lovely lemon French fancies, everyone knows Mr Kipling for their exceedingly good cakes. Pretty pastels, carefully piped icing, sticky jam and bitesize sweet treats spring to mind when I think of the classic British brand. Although my favourite ever pud, it turns out that you can't live on Bakewell tarts alone. (I know, right?) 

With that in mind, Mr Kipling have launched a lighter snack offering to their miniature family. Introducing the Cranberry, Orange & Oat Slice and Dark Chocolate, Coconut & Oat Slices; featuring 100% natural flavours, no hydrogenated fats or artificial flavours. Individually wrapped into perfectly portioned snack packs, the slices cost £1.49 per pack of four. 

the fox and goat, tiddington, oxfordshire.

Just a short drive from the historic city of Oxford, you'll discover The Fox and Goat. An endearing village pub nearby Tiddington, Albury and Waterstock, both the restaurant and rooms have been beautifully refurbished with a charming finish that mixes classic and contemporary. Cosy fireplaces and exposed brick are met with hints of olive green, fresh flowers and natural wood to create a home from home feel. After a sunny day in Oxford, we made our way along the A418 to be warmly welcomed by The Fox and Goat staff.

sherwood hideaway, nottinghamshire.

For a weekend of adventure, beautiful nature and an escape from the day-to-day, Sherwood Hideaway ticks all the boxes. Surrounded by the pines of Sherwood Forest, you'll find a scattering of luxury lodges nestled amongst the Nottinghamshire nature. With the nearby 17th Century Thoresby Estate, cycle paths and walking routes, you can really make your break at Sherwood Hideaway suit you.

Whether you're into spa days or tree climbing, you'll find something to do. If you want to switch off your phone and unwind in the jacuzzi, that's fine too. Being a foodie, I couldn't help putting a foodie spin on our stay, making sure I'd packed lots of delicious grub to enjoy in our Woodland Rustic lodge. Because it turns out relaxing amongst nature with a fully stocked fridge and lack of 4G is absolute bliss.
