Enjoy the taste of fresh summer! I love discovering food days that give us another reason to celebrate seasonal produce, and this week it’s all about summer fruit! Did you know that tomorrow (Thursday 16th July) is National Cherry Day! If ever you needed an excuse to buy cherries, use this chance to celebrate this delicious summer fruit. Cherries have…
Sticking to a healthy eating routine while juggling a busy lifestyle often takes a little planning. Whether you’re balancing work, commuting, exercising or heading outdoors for the weekend, having nourishing snacks on hand can help keep your energy levels steady. Often, it isn’t the main meals that are difficult to organise, it’s finding something nutritious to eat between them. Choosing…
Heatwave! If you are in the UK – especailly more in the South, then likely you are in the heatwave too! Temperatures like today – currently at 36c are one-off rare occurrences here (real feel is logged as 41c) and we are very unprepared for heat like this! Children have been allowed to go to school in P.E. kits, trains…
Simple but effective! Hello! I hope you are all having a fabulous week and a great start to December! Whether you are joining in with all the seasonal festivities or not this month, I am sure you can enjoy all the different foods that this month brings! Likely you have seen parsnips, brussels sprouts, satsumas, cranberries and a whole plethora…
Small steps, big improvements. Healthy eating shouldn’t feel overwhelming, yet it often does – especially when routines shift or life gets busy. Many of us know what we’d like to eat, but turning those intentions into everyday habits can be surprisingly difficult. You might start the week full of good intentions, only to find yourself opting for whatever is quickest…
Hot & Tasty Breakfast! Well, Autumn definitely arrived on time this year! We went from blue sunny skies and 25° to a night-time temperature of 7° overnight. I was almost, that is ‘almost’ tempted to put the heating on… but it is, after all, still only September. So, potatoes are back on the menu (not that they ever really left!)…
Your flavours, refreshing and ready in minutes! What a week! Sunshine from morning until night, windows wide open, washing drying in minutes – and no need to even wonder if it’s ‘safe’ to go out without a coat. With the heat lingering, I’ve been throwing together all sorts of salads for lunch and dinner, sometimes with tofu or chickpeas, with…
A key recipe for comfort on cooler days. It might be July, but the weather certainly isn’t what you’d expect for summer! At just 15°C this morning, with strong winds and a soggy start thanks to the overnight downpours, it definitely feels more like an autumn day. That said, the garden is loving it, and I’m sure the allotment is…
Is it time to slow down? This week has been a bit crazy! You know life gets like that sometimes right! First, the weather couldn’t decide if it was still baking hot (come on, 25c in the UK is hot)! or if there was suddenly going to be an almighty downpour. I actually got stuck in the greenhouse as it…
