It is FREEZING in London at the moment so we have been filling ourselves up with lots of homemade soups, stews and curries. We have also headed back to the gym (at last), it’s amazing how just a few endorphins (and a lot of sweat)…
Now I’m not going to lie to you, I’m going to be brutally honest. I have not been to the gym in five weeks… Ok I suppose it’s technically six. There, I’ve said it, I’ve confessed. My body is so unused to movement that after…
Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a pretty rocky start for me, having been struck down with flu just after Christmas I then ended up in hospital over new year! It seems diabetes + flu = medical chaos , I wouldn’t recommend it! So, having…
There is nothing more comforting, especially at this time of year, than a slice of bread with a thick slathering of chocolate spread. It is the ultimate comfort food. I have worked hard on this recipe over the last few months, perfecting the texture and flavour…

Apparently it’s World Porridge Day today so I thought it would be the perfect time to share this breakfast post. Now, I don’t meet many people who don’t like chocolate- or for that matter wouldn’t choose to eat it at any given time, day or…
The weather has well and truly turned in the last week and although I am loving scouring the web for a new winter coat everywhere I go everyone seems to be coughing and spluttering with terrible colds… Me included. I very rarely get a cold but…
I have to admit, I might have a slight obsession at the moment with cashew nuts. In the last few weeks I’ve been eating them in all different forms; butter, porridge, curry, smoothies, energy balls and even milk. Cashew nuts are so versatile, full of taste and…
Growing up my little brother used to adore peanut butter sandwiches, they were his number one choice for any meal. I could never understand why he loved it so much, the mere smell of it made my stomach churn. I will never forget going to…
Recently I have received a lot of questions about what you can eat “other than eggs” for breakfast when following a low-carb lifestyle. Well, for me I believe the options are endless! There are so many different smoothies, muffins, porridges and granola’s you can make…
