I absolutely love Nutella so it was a no-brainer when I was asked to come up with an Easter breakfast recipe that complements the hazelnut-based spread. The beauty of Nutella is that a little goes a long way. One 15g portion (equivalent to one heaped teaspoon) is 80kcals and can be enjoyed as part of a ...
One of the things I enjoy most about autumn is the return of Sunday roasts. It's not just about the comfort food side of things; it's the social element too. I can't be alone in this and it prompts an important question. Why wait until Sunday?! The people at Simply Beef and Lamb are on a mission ...
My final Baxters Deli Toppers post is another food hack. If you're anything like me, you love fried chicken but are probably all too aware that it's not the healthiest of options. This hack cuts out the need for deep fat frying as most of the cooking is actually done in the oven. I think it tastes just ...
My latest Baxters Deli Toppers post is more of a food hack than a recipe. In fact, I think I can legitimately say there are two hacks here and that can't be bad! We all know that it doesn't take long to prepare a stir fry, but I think these changes make it even faster. A speedy ...
The weather has got noticeably colder of late, so it's time for some warm-up recipes! This sausage pasta is quick and easy to make and has a spicy edge thanks to Baxters Jalapenos. I find that they give this dish that I've been making for years a little more bite and have improved it as ...
You probably know Baxters best for their famous soups, but they've added a new line of Deli Toppers which promise to liven up all kinds of dishes. The new offerings include Red Slaw, Jalapenos, Spicy Slaw and Red Onion. Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing recipes and hacks to show you how to make the ...
If there's one kind of food that is consumed with greater frequency than anything else in our house, it's cake! We bake fairly often, can't walk past the relevant aisle in the supermarket without getting one and both sets of grandparents know that they won't be granted admission to our home without proffering some cakey goodness. We're ...
If my Twitter timeline is anything to go by I was, until recently, one of the few parent bloggers out there yet to have discovered the wonders of slow cooking. I'm now a fully fledged convert thanks to the team at SlowCook Chef who asked if I'd like to try out and review their service. ...
I'm Tom Briggs. A proud dad of three and, somehow or other, a multi-award-winning parent blogger.
I've been writing Diary of the Dad since 2010 and it's gone from a small hobby to my full-time job.
I still have the same enthusiasm for this blog as I did when I wrote my first post and hope you enjoy reading my musings as much as I do writing them.
