We’ve been told to expect cooler weather – at least in my neck of the woods – but it sounds like it might at least be dry. An extra cardie should do the trick..
Bank Holiday weekends were made for easy eating, and relaxing with families and friends, so here I’m offering some suggestions for things you might like to try this weekend..
If there’s even a chance of a barbecue, I’ll be making these simple Chicken Kebabs –

Another great favourite, and one I’m often asked to bring to parties, is my Warm Chicken Salad

With only a tiny bit of forward planning, you too will be wowing the family this weekend!
When there’s a chilly wind blowing, something a little warming is always welcome, without diving back into Winter comfort-food. One recipe that is warm and cosy is my one-pot wonder – https://eatingforireland.com/recipe/one-pot-beef-and-rice-enchilada/
I need hardly tell you that no self-respecting Bank Holiday weekend would be complete without a few sweet treats to finish off that perfect day 😉 My Tiramisu Cake was such a success at Easter (both here at home, and also with Gayle, my Australian niece-by-marriage) that it’s definitely getting another outing this weekend!
Regular readers – thank you for all your lovely comments! – will know how fond I am of my virtually infallible Stem Ginger Cake

This is the cake that gets fluffy chicks on it for Easter, festive sprinkles for Christmas, and even candles for the odd family birthday.. It’s a fantastic cake to have for when visitors put their heads round the door, so that’s definitely on my list for this weekend.
A couple of batches of my Simple scones which take just 25-30 minutes from start to finish will complete my line-up of BH treats! https://eatingforireland.com/recipe/home-made-scones/
