Find your cooking items very relaxing. If I had people coming to stay I would be not relaxed at all. I bet they all love coming to stay because it is all so chilled and the food tasty without being pretentious Thanks Helen and no stains on your lovely blouse. That ,again, would not be me x

It's your no nonsense no fuss attitude that I like! Nothing pretentious, authenticity at it's best.

Yes you are a gem. All seems so easy for you, and it is when you know how. That blue blouse is absolutely your colour. Hope you will have a nice weekend. ❤

Hi Helen can I just say what a joy you are to watch, love your honesty and real life chats ❤

Helen..Looking good!😊 I am learning so much today about different foods you are presenting. I will watch the whole broadcast again with paper and pen. It all looks really organized for the weekend and you are going to have a great time. Football anyone? We love Euro 2024 over here and have the game on right now..Spain is giving their all. Congratulations to your New Prime Minister and I watched his acceptance speech on BBC. Hope everything improves for the people struggling over there. We have them here too. O.K. Returning now to Apple Cake recipe. My mouth is watering.

Hi Helen, a lady in our village seems to have a her family every other weekend and just pulls food together in a chilled out type of way, reminding me of you!! Haha My husband has had a heart op (different to Rob’s) and I cook everything from scratch, so no nasties in there!!! It has certainly taught me about spices, flavours etc which has really opened my eyes. Have a fabulous time with family and thank you sharing xx

Great to see you as always. I get stressed cooking or baking that i bought a dining table for 4 so that I had an excuse to not have any dinner parties 😂😂❤

Hi Helen. I really admire how you manage to cater for friends and family visitors. I always think half the battle is deciding what to make! I’m not a happy cook and although I’m able to make reasonable dishes, I’m no lover of the kitchen !! My hubbie is a great cook and makes most of our meals. We have many traditional meals in Greece and tend to buy fresh ingredients which are plentiful here and although they take a bit more preparation,they are well worth the effort. Every week we have huge open street markets with seasonal fruit ,veg ,fresh fish and cheeses and naturally,our delicious olive oil! The Mediterranean diet is renowned for its healthy properties and we are lucky to have such a wide variety of produce.You are obviously a great hostess and cook and I hope you have an enjoyable weekend with your family -I’m sure they’ll appreciate all your efforts.💖🌸

Helen took your advice a tryed the nilglass cleaner and true to your word it's fantastic glass doors and my hop have nevered looked that clean thank you for sharing love it x

Helen your as cool as a cucumber I don’t know how you do it .Love the blouse and I’m going to make that cake .Great vlog ,have a lovely weekend with the family take care Cxx

No way in a million years would I cook in a beautiful silk blouse,you’re a wonder.I have never made a apple loaf,but I make banana loaves all the time,for some strange reason,they only sell bunch’s of 8 bananas by me,and my preference is a yellow banana with brown spots all over,so l’m lucky if I get to eat 4 before they are over ripe,so the leftover become a loaf,It is pretty much the same as yours,but,mine has buttermilk,bicarbonate, half white sugar,half Indian jaggery,raisins,walnuts,and cinnamon.You had the pronunciation of gochujang almost correct Go-chi-Jung.Your hair looks lovely 😊

A lovely vlog Helen some great ideas there x

Can’t believe you cooked the meal without getting a mark on your gorgeous silk blouse..I would have been covered. 🤣 Would be good if we could see what you are doing. Enjoyed as usual, thanks Helen. Have a lovely weekend❤️

Thanks Helen, so lovely to see you making a meal for your lovely family, reminds me so much of my childhood. 😊

I love your At Home with Helen vlogs. Your apple cake looks lovely, will be giving that one a try. Have a great weekend

Thank you Helen - will be making the apple loaf tomorrow with a couple of wrinkly Pink Ladies ! Always a joy watching your videos ❤

I was holding my breath watching you slap the chicken pan down in that beautiful blouse! Ha, ha! I love aprons & have quite a collection of them! My mom always wore one & I think that’s why I do. Funny, I just finished making chicken thighs before watching this. I did lemon juice, butter, olive oil, garlic & fresh thyme. Yours look yummy! You are looking very lovely these days. Your hair really suits you that length & falls nicely in place. I do love an ‘at home with Helen’!

Dearest Helen you have been my normality this week, Im a health care proffessional who had to resuscitate her good friends and neighbours young son at home after a cardiac arrest..he is doing extreamly well and going to be fine....you have given me a happy distraction while ive come to the enormity of what happend last Saturday im 57 "many a good tune played on and old fiddle eh " god bless you❤❤❤

Love that blouse on you Helen. We have a similar recipe for apple cake but it has sultanas in it. Hope you enjoy your weekend. ❤

Thoroughly enjoy when you do a cooking sequence. Agree with another comment, I'd like to see what you're doing when you're prepping too - although I know what you're doing! The rice dish sounds interesting, so will try. You work so hard - both on content and in general!

Hi Helen,really enjoyed the video,I have A fib too and the Guinness zero is a great substitute for the real thing,in fact I can hardly tell the difference.Have a great weekend ❤

Love your blouse Helen, that colour looks smashing on you 😊

❤great video! So helpful to see the process in action, thanks! So funny, you and I are almost EXACTLY the same age and I have also figured out that a few shortcuts and conveniences do not affect the quality of time spent with family (duh, why I EVER thought otherwise, I can’t fathom!)!❤

Hi Helen, I enjoyed your apple cake recipe! We have an apple tree in our garden and make a lot of apple cakes in almost the same way as yours. I don’t use mixed spice though but i use a mixture of cinnamon and ginger! Yummy! It takes very little time and has much less sugar than shop bought cake!

Thanks for all the videos again lately Helen, I was thinking of doing an apple cake so I’m trying your recipe today on my precious day off! I’m a hairdresser and carer so I don’t stop very often!!! Looking forward to next few videos, love the new caravan 😊 love sally-Ann x

Thank you, Helen. The apple cake looks delicious. I’ve just received my perfume order from Dialect - so pleased, they are fabulous. Thanks for the recommendation x

Always enjoy your at homes Helen. That apple loaf is worth a try. I think I could even do that if I bestirred myself as my Mother used to say! Much better than shop bought... Enjoy the family at the weekend. I'm sure you'll all have a great time together with plenty of craic! 😀 xx

You are looking so well. The blouse looks really good on. I love a yellow sticker and like you l hate food waste. Wish l was coming to your house for dinner, chicken looked like it was going to be really tasty.

All I can say is yummy 😋 love you in the kitchen Helen,like everyone else, the blouse and your hair look 👍 fabulous, enjoy your weekend ❤❤

Will be trying the apple loaf cake, I still regularly make your lemonade/cream /flour scones, it’s definitely the best recipe so thank you for that 😊 xx

Good to hear that Rob's cardioversion has done the trick, I will be baking the apple cake, I know that will go down well , the fajitas sound so yummy x

Enjoyed your vlog Helen. Will give the apple cake a whirl. Loved your blouse too x

Fab vlog Helen..you look great,your outfit is lovely..Blouse so classy . That’s a quick birthday cake for my hubby tomorrow..just arrived back from hols this evening. A bit of fancy icing on the top and way to go! Thanks ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤

Yum that apple cake/loaf looks lovely. Enjoy your weekend.xx

Thank you Helen that was comforting to watch. Its somehow relaxing watching someone cook. Nice ideas. I have a friend from Germany coming over and was thinking of Dorset Apple cake😊

Just wanted to say, I made some of your No Knead Bread today, Oh my goodness, it is so so nice. My other half says it is the nicest bread I have made so far. Thanks for sharing the recipe

Excellent! thank you for sharing the apple loaf cake recipe 😊❤x

Blooming heck, Helen, my ❤is in my mouth when you bake without an apron. 😅

I love my wild deodarant. More economical. Great shopping haul Helen. Enjoy your family@ the weekend. ❤ weather awful up here in north east scotland and cool. ❤

Helen you make everything look easy. Hope the chicken went down well. Sounded pretty good. Great way to use the apples. I usually make a crumble with left over apples. About the only desert that I make lol. Hope you had a great weekend. Thanks as always & take care

Love your cookery segment. Xx

Your hair looks stunning.

Helen thanks for the link to order the bag mines on its way look forward to receiving it ❤thanks for letting me have it look forward to being a hels bell xxx

Have a lovely weekend! Xx

Interesting enough my husband had an episode of atrial fibrillation 18 months ago followed by a cardio version which knocked the heart rhythm back into a regular beat. He had another AF episode earlier this year but a change of blood pressure meds has kept him well. In both instances he never felt any different only showed up on his Fitbit watch 😮. He decided to give up alcohol and has zero % all sorts, wine, cider the Guinness you showed. It’s all or nothing with him and has stuck with this new regime 🎉

Love the blouse helen really classy x

I love that silk blouse you are wearing but am afraid if I had it on and was cooking, I would certainly spill or splash on it!! So an apron is a necessity !!! I will try the apple cake, it was so quick and easy. Thank you.😊🐝

Apple cake looked lovely Helen, have a good weekend.Will try your recipe today, cheers 😊.

I laughed when you said chickenless thighs , I thought “ oh that’ll be the vegetarian version then “ 😂 Thanks for the reminder, I’m going to do fajitas this week , my sons fiancée is half Mexican so she loves them ❤

Hi Helen, I did use Wild and still have it but am now using the natural deodorant brand, it’s in a glass jar and you do have to use your fingers to rub in but I find it excellent at keeping wetness and smell away 😊 also very planet friendly, cruelty free and vegan.

Great video Helen,have a lovely weekend xx

Nice and easy apple cake- perfect! X

Hi Hells Bells.. Nice hair, nice skin & nice blouse too.. Looking Good Helen. Thanks for all your useful tips. Enjoy your busy weekend. Dee 🥰

Your glowing. Looking fabulous

Great video Helen❤ maybe the camera on the food preparation ❤️

Lovely to see you Helen 😊❤ Have a great weekend with your family. Your menu sounds lovely. Thank you for sharing 😊❤

Hi Helen, some great ideas for family gatherings. May I just say your hair looks fabulous today. Enjoy your weekend. Xx

Pretty sure a lot of you play bridge over there. I love it and when my friends come over we will try some of these different spreads. Helen..p.s. With Rob retired now why not give bridge a try at your local bridge club. The people you meet in Bridge are fantastic and you get to travel and it's very satisfying. It's not difficult to learn bridge.

Definitely going to try the apple cake recipe so easy ! Just ordered 3 items from sea salt really love there clothes ! 😊

Can you tell us what the marinade was that you used please Helen; I don’t think you mentioned the name of it. The food looked great and the rice idea sounds good. Hope the weekend goes well in spite of the weather!

Helen I just made an Eves pudding from some awful tasting apples. My husband was ready to throw the away and I told him I would back something with them . And the pudding was delicious.

O.K. We don't have these beautiful spreads over here But Jamie Oliver is on our Amazon with different spreads like walnut and red pepper etc. I will give it a try.

Hi Helen, love your home cooking will have to try your apple cake, you make cooking so easy have a lovely weekend with your lovely family❤️❤️

Another nice video Helen, and you look really lovely.enjoy your week-end!

Hello Helen, another enjoyable video,,meal is going to be delicious especially with the Apple cake.❤

Hi Helen. Another great video, thank you! I love how you make it all look so easy, and you really inspire me! Can I ask, did you cook the cake on air fry or bake in the air fryer and, did you cook the rice in the frying pan and how much liquid did you add please?

I really enjoy your videos Helen - thank you! Please can you let us know what nail polish colours you wear / when you change the colour (from a nail polish addict!) xx

Nice little video have fun Helen ❤❤

😊i loved Wild deodorant at first, it does work and is gentle on skin . However i find that little bits drop onto the carpet and as you say it is expensive. Also sometimes the old cartridge gets stuck when trying to replace it and that can get messy. I only buy when on offer, £6 is too much. Great concept but needs tweaking. Beautiful blouse, blue is your colour and that shade is stunning. Shame to risk it whilst cooking 😮 Maybe do an apron haul ? 😅 I don't cook much but see lots of beautiful aprons out there xx

Thank you for this video Helen with some great ideas 😍 Will make apple cake 😋 Have a lovely weekend wirh your family ❤ xx

Hair looks nice ,have you had a professional blowdry ?

Hi Helen you look lovely in the blue shirt just popped on yayy I’m out of bed I’ve always got gangs for food I cook on an aga so it’s quite easy but must say I love how easy the air fryer is don’t you ? just a quick one Do you bake cakes on air fryer or the bake button I’ve asked you before but forgotten also have you tried the gourmet sauce from Costco I’ve used it for yrs so handy for stir fry’s & kids chicken it’s really nice my grandchildren love it have a lovely weekend with your beautiful family x

Hi Helen, wondering if you can cook the apple loaf/ cake in the oven as well.

It is a petty that we cannot smell it through the computer..... Great video. You have all a wonderful weekend

Can see you, but can't see what you're doing. How about pointing your camera on the subject.

Hi Helen, you said 170° for 35-45 minutes in the Air fryer. Is that on Air fry mode or bake?

Hi Helen, what spices are in your mixed spice? We have pumpkin pie spice here; just wondering if it's the same. Beautiful blouse, have fun with your company🐝😋

❤

Hi Helen. The cake In The air fryer what cooking mode do you have it on air fry or bake thanks sue

Just quickly, Aldis dupe for coffee is excellent and less than £3

Loved tonights vlog. Gonna make the apple cake tomorrow. However, Helen you looked tired tonight, are you ok?

I don’t have an air fryer what are times and temp for a normal oven please?

I use fussy deodorant? Can thoroughly recommend 👍

Sorry have I missed the Apple Cake recipe

Summer??? Where is it?? 😭

❤❤Love You❤❤

Do you think it’s showing off making cake in a silk shirt 🤔🤭

You’ll be putting Meghan Markle out of business with your cooking Helen. 😅😅

Helen, it all looks and sounds delicious. I wish we had smelly KZfaq😅
