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…
How to nourish your body with vegan meals Going vegan can mess with your head at first. You stand in the grocery store staring at vegetables like you’ve never seen food before. Everything you knew about cooking just flies out the window. But honestly? It gets way easier. Your body figures it out faster than you’d think. The panic about…
Lentil & Nut Loaf! Hello again! I know I often say this, but time really is flying along! I’ve had such a busy week, and if you have children, no doubt you’ve had a week of seasonal Halloween and firework activities and are trying to get a bit of normality back this week before all the chaos starts again in…
Warming foods! This week has been all about soups, slow cooker meals and hot comforting food! I am still loving my vegetable box delivery and this week, when I saw loads of red peppers and several aubergines, I knew I had to make a new dolma recipe. I decided to have a little experiment (when do I not) and see…
Autumn Vibes! Well, I would say Autumn is well and truly here!

However, since the weekend, I have been convinced there is an open window I’ve missed! The jumpers have come out, the…
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!)…
Discover the power of leafy veg for your health. Let’s face it, most of us don’t tend to have many vegetables in our diet. From hectic workdays to convenient meals and individual tastes, leafy greens might not be a frequent guest on our plates. However, these humble plants – spinach, kale, broccoli, and the like – are nutritional goldmines that…
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…
