I’ve had this idea for so long but only just got around to making it. The early stages of pregnancy were a whirlwind of wanting to eat constantly but also feeling sick whenever I tried to cook, foods like potatoes and bread got me through and I found myself leaning towards carbs and sugar. It would … Continue reading
I got back from a family holiday in Spain this week, I had such a wonderful time! My little brothers and sisters are now aged 2, 4, 7, 9 and 23! I’m the oldest of a fab bunch (at the grand old age of 27)! We did swimming, loom bands, dancing, sun bathing and I … Continue reading
I’ve been keeping things simple recently, classic flavours with not too much effort. It’s been lovely! Food is best enjoyed at one’s leisure and I think the effect of a rather upheaved life teamed with a busy lifestyle has meant I have slowed down and stepped back in other areas.

Falafel has been my own little personal mission for the past few weeks! I love eating them but for some reason I’ve always just had shop bought ones, I wanted this to change – and fast! Shop bought ones are convenient and low fat but don’t have that satisfying, wholesome home made feel to them. … Continue reading
Apart from the foodie things I get up to, the occasional festival and the odd moment where I’m feeling blue I don’t share too much about my personal life on here. For no other reason than I’m a little bit shy and so I let the food do the talking. But today I am going … Continue reading
My friend from work was telling me about a salad she made using these Merchant gourmet lentils and roasted butternut squash and it sounded so delicious I just had to make my own version! I don’t buy ready prepared packet food often but I have always wanted to try these porcini and thyme lentils so … Continue reading
I’ve had a lot going on in my life already this year and I have found myself yet again in a place where I haven’t got a good routine going! After a few weeks of grabbing food at lunchtime from various shops I got fed up and knew I had to start being more organised … Continue reading
