I hope you had a lovely Easter and enjoyed the holidays. We had a lovely Easter and a very busy two weeks. As always around this time I like to take some time away from the blog and social media. I'm not very good at social media at the best of times, I sort ...
Dinner
Spiced Chicken Skewers with Couscous
Once we reach the end of Easter I always feel like cooking fresher and lighter meals. Maybe it's after all the rich family meals and all that chocolate but, just like after the Christmas holidays, I almost feel like I need to reset, foodwise. I need lighter, ...
Vegetarian Lasagne
We are sort of settling into a routine with our new addition. I'm not gonna lie, life with a puppy is a challenge but so much fun. Our first week with Cooper was a complete whirlwind of a week and has got me thinking about food that you can have stocked up in ...
Vegetable Korma
I'm continuing this week with the curry theme, I guess it's an ongoing theme for me really, I have a slight addiction to curry. It's one of my favourite comfort foods. If you've been reading this blog for a while you will already know this. I make curries all ...
Spicy Prawn Stir Fry

Mushroom Fried Rice
This time last year I started watching Gilmore Girls with my girl. We started out watching one episode at a time and while I loved it from the get-go, my girl was on the fence. Soon we were binge-watching episodes over the mid-term break and then we as we came ...
Beetroot and Goat’s Cheese Tart
There is a real divide in my house, my husband and daughter are not overly keen on beetroot, I on the other side, love it. I've been eating beetroot all sorts of ways since I was a kid. Beetroot sandwiches being one of my favourite things. Hey, don't knock it ...
