The Perfect Sunday Brunch

I’m a big fan of anything that helps make my life easier in the kitchen and so I was delighted to be asked to do a collaborative post with Panasonic and a bit of a shout out to their new range of bread makers. I have a bread maker of my own and I’m not sure […]

5 Quick and Healthy Breakfast Ideas

This is the time of year when we all look at our waistlines and sigh (if you’re reading this and thinking ‘not me’ – then lucky you!) It’s the time when we give up all those things we enjoy in the hope that THIS will be the year that we attain our body goals. The last […]

Recipe: Apple Flapjacks

Oats, apple, golden syrup and just the smallest hint of cinnamon. What’s not to love about these meltingly soft, sweet apple flapjacks? The great thing about flapjacks is that despite the fact that they’re clearly a yummy little treat; sweet and gooey like a slice of cake, they’re made from oats and so they somehow seem really […]

7 Day Meal Plan for Your 5 a Day

I love meal plans! I’m always on the lookout for magazines which include a 7 day fat buster-detox-under £5-cook in less than 30 seconds type plan. It’s just great to have someone else do the thinking for you once in a while, right? I mean, frankly, it can all get a bit much sometimes – work […]

You need never be unhealthy again! So, Summer is creeping slowly and frankly, rainily (is that a word??) to our doorstep once more and I for one have started the annual ‘oh lord, I’d better start eating a bit better so I can fit in those shorts’ thoughts. Not only that, but I live in […]

Recipe: Pineapple & Coconut Smoothie

Sweet, tangy pineapple and fresh tasting coconut – a real taste of the Tropics! Goodness in a glass… There’s something about a smoothie that makes me feel pretty saintly – even the ones that are actually filled with ice cream and syrup! I think it’s the coolness and flavours of fresh fruit. You just know it’s […]

Recipe: Sunshine Granola

Every mouthful is a taste of Summer. Sweet, tangy mango and pineapple, a hint of coconut with toasted macadamias and almonds. How can that be anything but good for you? There’s something rather smugly satisfying about eating granola. It doesn’t matter what’s actually in it, you just feel like you’re being very good to yourself. […]

Simple pleasures – An ode to the bacon sandwich

The veggie’s demise… I’m not vegetarian, and probably never will be. I don’t eat a lot of meat but I’m not sure I could give it up completely. A simple roast chicken, a beautifully tender, melt in the mouth steak, pork crackling….they’re all just too good. When I’ve spoken to veggie friends of mine, I’m always […]
