Top 5 summer 2016 recipes

Summer is here and for the few sunny days we do have in the UK, here are my top 5 recipes of 2016 to enjoy in the summer sun.

1. Wine Slushies

Wine slushie recipeIf you’ve never heard of these, they are amazing - basically slushies with alcohol! All you need is frozen summer fruits, wine, sugar, mint and ice. Unfortunately however, I don’t this counts as one of your 5-a-day!

3. Homemade Beef Burgers
