Choc Chip Cookies Soft and chewy? Crisp and crunchy? Cookies are so varied that they’re one of those things that everybody loves. This week I was given a new book 😀 a lovely book! It’s the third book (Recipes for Happiness) from David & Stephen Flynn aka The Happy Pear. If you’ve never come across these plant based twins… where…
Barbecue Relish! Is it barbecue weather where you are? Here it’s off and on, yesterday was drizzly all day, but today… well today is bright and sunny again! 🙂 Barbecue relish or barbecue sauce is one of those condiments which I love, but after reading the long list of ingredients and checking the sugar content, I most definitely don’t eat! …
Woohoo! it’s here… almost! In case you are wondering where my weekly post is… it is coming! I’ve been so busy trying to move the site over to self hosted and it is ALMOST ready for you! Nothing at Life Diet Health is ever as simple as it sounds ‘ switch it over’ like, ‘ta-da’ it’s done! 😀 😛 Now,…

Hooray! Early and second early potatoes have been in a while,…
