Like everyone else in the world, when I was a kid, I thought a haggis was an animal and had visions of it scampering around in a field. Then I thought it was a sheep’s brain. Then I forgot to wonder what it was until now and I still don’tContinue Reading
I’ve made this a couple of times and I’ve obviously been in a hurry to eat it before photographing it, as it’s not on my blog already. I love cannelloni but gave up trying to stuff those tubes years ago and I find using fresh lasagne isn’t the same. ThisContinue Reading
Looking for a protein packed curry? Here’s one I made in the slow cooker. With almonds and cashews, I thought as well as being mega-healthy, it would be mega-calorific, but after logging the ingredients into myfitnesspal, it’s only 329 calories per portion, so not bad at all.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I occasionally get a box from Graze.com. I didn’t think anything could top their snacks in terms of variety and healthiness but then I heard about The Nutribox. Wow, what can I say? Their boxes are amazing. IContinue Reading

Okay, so you’ve got a slow cooker recipe you really want to try out, but it says it’s going to take 6-10 hours. Assuming you want your lunch at around 1pm, and we choose the in between time of eight hours, this means that you’ll have to start it offContinue Reading
Hey look, I made something else that’s reminiscent of a pizza. I had a packet of puff pastry to use up (actually, it was two days out of date but I appear to still be alive), so I made a quick trip to the farm shop for a leek andContinue Reading
Not only are BEAR Yo Yos delicious, made of 100% fruit, one of your 5 a day, they’re also fun. When was the last time you opened a packet and found a card with a fact like this: I’m guessing ladybirds feel threatened most of the time, so next timeContinue Reading
