Pizza Muffins  

I’ve created this delicious pizza muffin recipe for our #icklepicnic in support for the #SoothingTheSmallest campaign. Ickle Pickles charity and Sudocrem have joined forces to launch My #IckleSudocrem pots.   

The limited edition pots are available at Boots & Tesco until the 7th October. 50p from every sale of the pots goes to Ickle Pickles Charity.  The charity aims to give every newborn a chance and raises funds for neonatal units across the country to buy essential lifesaving equipment (ventilators, incubators etc) for premature and sick babies. Unfortunately, many hospitals do not have enough nor the correct equipment.

I am so proud to be a Neo Hero for such a fantastic charity whose work is so close to my heart – my little boy was born 8 weeks premature and he is here today because of that life saving equipment.
