Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon Granola + Tesco Scan As You Shop Service Review

Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon Granola + Tesco Scan As You Shop Service Review

Since summer is still in full swing, even though it may not always feel like it with our UK yo-yo weather, I wanted to take a break from my usual type of recipes, typically chocolate centred treats, and focus on creating something fruity.

Call me strange, but I'm one of those people who loves food shopping and [...]
