Wholesome bites to fuel you through! Well, did that catch your eye? You might be wondering how you can plan for the unexpected? How do you know that an ‘event’ will occur? Well, planning and preparation in advance will always make anything unexpected much easier! If, for example, you have your cupboards stocked with food… tinned chickpeas, or tinned fruit…
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…
Chocolate Rum Truffles When I was growing up, rum truffles were always in our house at Christmas time. I remember feeling all grown up at being allowed to eat these vermicelli coated little chocolate balls and loved the fruity taste they had. Fast forward several years, and do an ingredient check on shop bought ones and well, let’s just say…

So we need something warm and yummy whilst we curl up on the sofa with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book! 😀 This is one of those recipes that I’d bookmarked…
Healthy Snacks & Treats Today here is something a bit different. Not a recipe as we don’t all always have time to be in the kitchen cooking up Blueberry Cinnamon Muffins or Oaty Chocolate Drizzle Yummies. Yesterday I found ‘just what I’d been looking for’ in the guise of some wonderful jars! Not just any jars! Screwtop jars with easy to…
Oaty Choco Drizzle Yummies Yesterday I decided to experiment and attempt to make some gluten and dairy free ‘nutritious’ and ‘healthy’ biscuits. When I went to bed I decided I need to make some more today! After tweaking the recipe to get a crumbly tasty cookie, then improving it by topping it with chocolate I couldn’t stop eating them… but…
Healthy Chocolate Protein Truffles Yesterday I visited my favourite health shop to stock up on raw cacao, fresh dates, quinoa, apple vinegar and a gluten free flour. Instead of quinoa I decided to buy freekeh (as it was considerably cheaper) so I’ll be experimenting with that over the next few days. I also found brown rice vinegar and brown rice…
