I recently went to a conference where we were served the most delicious lunch. I’m always a bit dubious about lunches at these types of affairs, being wheat free means I get served all kinds of random thing. I now always travel with emergency oat cakes in my bag! Anyway, this conference had amazing, nutritious,

Flapjack. Literally it makes my world a happier place. However I’ve had a bit of a problem of late. The children are eating the bananas too fast and I just don’t have enough that are going bad to be able to make my signature banana and sultana flapjack. So with a glut of plums in

Gluten has been a pretty hot topic recently. I feel quite sorry for this poor protein which actually does some pretty amazing things to our food. I often come across people who have cut it out of their diet but actually it wasn’t gluten that was the culprit…. and then also people having a reaction

A lovely Pilates client turned up with a couple of healthy muffins for me the other day. Now that’s one way to make me go easy on you in class 😉 Laurie, thankyou! Peanut butter is one ingredient I’ve learnt is good in cookies and smoothies… so why “nut” muffins?! (I know funny aren’t I). These

I love lasagne, it’s a real feel good, comfort food for me. I love the pasta sheets, the combination of the layers of food and sauce and the hot bubbliness of it as it comes out of the oven. My mum used to make everything from scratch when we were growing up. So for me

There is something about making soup from scratch, specifically chicken soup that makes you feel better. There is research that suggests chicken soup helps with coughs and cold, thinning mucus secretions and possibly even preventing as much muscus being produced. What I really like about it is the process of making it. The act of

My afternoons often consist of “Mummy my tummy’s hungry” from Miss K (age 4) and “Mor Mor” with a sign for “Eat” from J-boy (17 months). I swear the toddler boy could graze all afternoon if allowed! I’m constantly on the look out for tasty, healthy snacks for my kids. Generally I prefer to have
