The town I moved to last year has so many community events going on all the time, it’s really a lovely place to live and I’m so glad I found it. Since having Darryl I have found time to meet new mummy friends and attend some of the midweek day time activities such as Baby … Continue reading
Since having baby Darryl, now 5 and a 1/2 weeks old, I have been keen to get back into the kitchen. Mainly because I missed having some time to myself to be creative or to unwind; I love my days with Darryl more than anything but these first few weeks are so intense – day … Continue reading
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.

Curried cous cous isn’t something that you see everyday however I think cous cous makes a perfect base to spices as it is a blank canvas that absorbs up flavours and holds them well. You could use rice to make this gluten free or if you have rice in the cupboard instead. Peaches have been … Continue reading
I’m returning back to basics today with a very simple salsa verde recipe. Sometimes all you need is a very good sauce on a simple meal to bring it to life! I have a few I often go back to when I just fancy a fresh, healthy and very easy dinner but this salsa verde … Continue reading
