Hi and welcome to my new website!
Over the last week I have been working flat-out on the site to get it to a point where I would like you to see it.
As a valued reader of my blog, I didn’t want you to come here and find bits and pieces not working properly.
There are still a few issues that I need to iron out. Photos not showing properly, or that are the wrong size…but I am getting there slowly and I hope you will think so too.
If you spot any problems or things that you don’t understand about the layout then please do let me know. I value everything each of you have to say.
As I write this I am on the train to Rochdale to visit the manufacturers of my wholegrain gluten-free flour blend. Being a ‘people’ person I wanted to go and meet these key people in my business and I also wanted to feel assured that when the flour goes on the market I have done everything I can to make sure it is the best it can be.
As work on the website has taken much of my time of late, I have been delayed in sharing recipes with you.
This one is something I created a while ago.
It is so simple and easy; perfect for this time of the year when you want to be outside enjoying every minute of our wonderful summer. Just pop it in the oven and go out and enjoy yourself, knowing that when you get back this delicious meal will be waiting for you. Not only is it simple but it is super cheap too, using a cheap cut of beef that is perfect for long, slow cooking.
Do let me know what you think of the recipe but please also let me know if there are any issues with the site.
And thank you again for being so patient as I moved my site across!

Hi Maire, thank you so much for your helpful feedback. I will look into how I might change the colour of the font.

This looks delicious- I’m always looking for more ways to add beef into my diet since I struggle to enjoy it but need the iron!
Vicki Montague says
I hope you enjoy it!

Web site looks fab Vicki – I’m having a major heart attack with web development at the moment. Just hope mine looks as good as yours!
Recipe sounds nice too – I might even be able to adapt it to make it Fodmap friendly.
Hope your flour blend and trip to Rochdale is going well…..exciting times 🙂

Website design is a nightmare! I am just glad that I know how to do it or this re-design wouldn’t have happened. Good luck with it x
