Easiest, Tastiest, 4 Ingredient Tuna Muffins....

Hi Honeys,
I hope you're well and enjoying the sunny weather.  We're expecting thunder storms today, to be honest it would be a blessing really.  It might clear the air a little.  It's been so warm and humid and the rain would be great for the garden. 
So, while our furbaby Jade and I are in the living room waiting for the laundry cycle to finish I thought I'd share a little kitchen experiment that was quite possibly the best yet 😄

Do you remember those egg muffins I tried making recently?  Hubby and I loved them, paired with a lovely, crisp, salad of course, that I've been experimenting with different fillings for them every week and we've yet to find a version we didn't like!

Egg muffins make such a great snack to have in the fridge too, so much healthier to reach for a muffin when feeling peckish than to raid the biscuit tin.  Perfect for packed lunches too.

On the look out for yet another filling for our now loved egg muffins honeys, I thought what about tuna?  We're great fans of the humble pantry staple, a little tin of tuna.  Tuna salad is a long time favourite so trying to find a way to make tuna muffins seemed to make perfect sense.  Would it work though...

Easiest ever 4 ingredient tuna muffins

In a word dear ones.... yes!  I really was pleased with how these perfect little muffins turned out, Hubby liked them so much he took a couple to work with his salad next day and they were so easy to make they practically made themselves!

Why not grab a cuppa, and maybe a cookie, and meet me back here in a few minutes and I'll share with you how they turned out and how I made them.  See you in a few mins then....

How To Help Busy Garden Bees By Making A DIY Drinking Station🐝

Hi Honeys
How are you today?  All well I hope 💖  Our furbaby Jade and I are having a quiet day today, just like we do most days actually I suppose 😊

We've had an especially fun few days in the garden, with one of my favourite activities this week so far setting up a new drinking station in the garden for our visiting bees & butterflies. 

DIY Hydration Station For Bee & Butterfly Garden Guests

Do you remember last summer we set about trying to attract more bees and butterflies and ladybirds and... well everything really 😃 to our garden honeys?  Well, it worked!  I love watching through the kitchen windows for the birds, and our two regular squirrel visitors, every morning after I top up their food supplies.

Butterflies are still very rare unfortunately, so far this year I've only seen one single beautiful butterfly in the garden and that's just heartbreaking.  I remember as a child seeing so many butterflies all through summer.  I'll add a link to the end of this post honeys if you'd like to find out more about the UKs butterflies and moths, the struggles they're facing and what you can do in your gardens to help.

Our buzzy friends have been in my mind quite a lot recently, more so since I was (nearly) adopted by an adorable little bee a few days ago 🐝

Why not meet me back here in a few minutes with a cuppa (and maybe a cookie) and I'll tell all dear ones ☕🍪  See you in a mo...

A Heads Up For Any Fellow Marvel Fans: Thor Vs Loki At Poundland...

Disclaimer:  I haven't been paid to promote any product or store, just wanted to let fellow Marvel fans know about a surprise collectable find...

Hi Honeys
Just a quick post before I dash off to work to share an awesome tiny collectable Hubby found for me in Poundland...

Thor Vs Loki Collectable From Loot Crate...

You could have knocked me over with a feather when Hubby popped this onto the coffee table in front of me when he got home from work honeys 😊

I mean... it's a tiny Loki! I know, I know.... there's a tiny Thor there too but if you've read this blog you'll have seen the adorable, tiny Loki who lives upstairs in his frame, he was a gift from a dear friend who makes them. 

Of course there is also the Loki figure who now lives on that same picture ledge upstairs now too, alongside the figure of Thor actually because I mean they are brothers, in spite of their occasional falling outs and where else am I going to put a Thor figure if not alongside Loki... I'm rambling 😊

What was my point again.... oh yes!  That I'm a hopeless Loki fan, an unashamed, Marvel universe loving nerd girl who can't help adoring the poor wee put upon younger Asgardian brother of Thor 💖     

Did I just hear someone say but Loki is the bad guy?  <shocked expression> He is not!! <stamps little foot> he's just misunderstood is all and possibly needs a hug 😊

Anyway, as I said this is just a quick post to let fellow Marvel fans know that Poundland has somehow laid hands on a mini collectable which, according to the packaging, appears to have been produced for Loot Crate, the subscription box company which provides a monthly shipment of fandom and games related collectables.

I've snapped some photos of the tiny Thor Vs Loki collectable in question so you can have a look honeys...
