It is my dream that one day we will live in the countryside and I will have a vegetable patch where I can grow an abundance of fruits, herbs and vegetables. Living in the city its not quite so easy. We have a lovely little garden, but…
I love cooking and baking and so long as I have no prior plans I tend to spend most of my evenings in the kitchen preparing, baking or making. However sometimes I get home and all I want is something that takes no time at…
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…
Soups are one of the quickest things to make and one of the fastest ways to get a great big hit of natures goodness. However, being a type one diabetic I have to be so careful with soups especially in restaurants and supermarkets as the majority…

It was Monday night, pouring with rain and took me two hours to get home from work. After an hour of sitting on an overcrowded, hot bus I walked home, in a strop. The whole way back, to save myself from cursing TFLs name out loud and…
This weekend we spent an amazing couple of days with visiting family in London; the sun shone, we had picnics in the park, walks by the river, games in the garden and all in all it was very happy. I had a lot of fun making…
It’s nearly the end of the week, so I thought that you all deserved a treat…. a chocolaty one. Two of my favourite things are mint and chocolate and when combined together they are simply irresistible. So I thought I would share my own mint chocolate…
