So you guys probably already know that i’m pretty poor at posting regularly at the best of times. But with the due date for our first child fast approaching, it seems appropriate to make sure that I point you in the direction of some more recipes, tips and recommended reading to keep you inspired when…
Firm favourites
In addition to being heavily pregnant, and therefore generally tired and distracted, part of the reason my posts have become less frequent lately is because I suppose we now have a bit of a ‘standard’ list of meals we tend to draw from. Many of these are already on this blog (such as Turkey Stuffed…
A bump in the road
So it seems I’ve started most of my recent posts with an apology lately! Even though, when I first set out on this journey, I made a point of noting that I am somewhat rubbish and may go for weeks without posting anything, sometimes it still feels like I should be posting more often. However,…
Back with baking
So I’m sorry… AGAIN! Things have been crazy and I did that disappearing thing again. BUT I did move house, finish my job (including handover), organise and have family to stay for Christmas, and deal with family health issues all within a couple of months, while being pregnant AND planning for baby’s arrival AND including…
Turkey, mushroom and marrow risotto
OK… so this time I have a really good excuse for staying away so long. I am RUBBISH at secrets and I was so paranoid I would give something away I’ve almost been scared to post! BUT I can finally talk publicly about the fact that hubbie and I are expecting in May 😀 For…
Sausage and lentil simmer
Ok, so I’m just gonna stop apologising for disappearing for weeks at a time. I remember saying when I started this blog that one of my concerns about starting it was that I’d be rubbish at remembering to post. Turns out that’s true. So hey, I’m a little bit lazy and rubbish sometimes ok? Deal…
Turkey Drummers
So. As if anyone needed anymore proof that hubbie and I are just big kids, a few weeks ago he asked me if we could try making turkey drummers (having pre-Slimming World been fans of the Bernard Matthews variety) using lean turkey mince. Always up for a challenge! These bad boys are just 2 Syns…
The mirror and the looking glass
So, like many Slimming World members up and down the country, at the start of the summer holidays I bought one of the new journals. It’s basically like the luxury, upgraded version of a food diary. Except that as well as helping you keep track of your food each day, you can also log your…
Kheema Mattar and the journey so far!
Kheema Mattar is a recipe I have been meaning to post for ages, but for some reason have never quite got around to it! However, today was our Slimming World group’s Woman of the Year competition and taster session, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share it, both physically in group…
Ras el Hanout chicken and couscous
This is one of our favourite summer recipes. Warm and fragrant Morroccan spices combined with fresh tasting lime, rocket and coriander. It can be as light or as filling as you make it, depending on how much you eat! And it works quite happily warm or cold. It’s also entirely possible to make a vegetarian…
Persistence and Passione
Ugh, sorry!! I know I seem to be starting every blog post with an apology lately, but although I said that I might be a bit rubbish sometimes and forget to post regularly, I didn’t think I’d be quite this rubbish! I promise I will try harder… especially as I have so many new recipes…
Self destruct
Harrumph. Over the last few weeks… no… in fact make that months… my weight loss has gone up and down more times than a roller coaster. I have gained and lost the same few pounds over and over again. I don’t know why I have lost my focus, or why I am suddenly finding so…
