It’s not been three weeks since I boarded the bus from Dublin and came back to Monaghan to partake in social distancing in a bid to flatten the curve of COVID-19. What a grand eye-opener this has been? I hope we all come out the other side of this being more grateful for the lives we have.

I saw a post on Facebook from DPD – “Have you even isolated if you haven’t baked?” It’s true. The whole country are baking and I’m delighted to see it.

I continued scrolling and came across a yummy recipe from Imelda Rose and Odlums for a no-bake traybake. I didn’t have all of the necessary ingredients but I improvised and came up with these yummies.

Hope you enjoy!
