Don’t fret, if you are not a nut butter fan (my hubby isn’t) then I’m pretty sure you should try these too. Think apple, cinnamon, cloves, almonds, pumpkin seeds, crunchy sesame seeds and a sweet apple undertone.

Oats. I practically feel I live on the stuff. Which is not a thing considering some people class them as amongst the healthiest foods. Also known as “Avena Sativa” they are wholegrain, packed with Vitamin B1 to give you your morning energy. Oats contain a fibre called beta-glucan which has been shown in studies to

It’s been a while since I’ve had time to get my creative side out. A few weeks of my husband being tied up with things has meant I’ve been pretty much keeping the show on the road by running around like a juggling magician 😉 Keeping 2 small ones fed, vaguely clean, amused, pretending to

Some very kind friends had Miss K to play the other day. When she came back one of the main things she was full of was food and descriptions of food. I’ve created a foodie! One of her descriptions reminded me of how I’ve not made savoury scones for so, so long and how

Risotto, it’s a staple in our house. I love the way you can reinvent it each time you make it. Weaning baby 2 has also remined me how it’s completely suitable for everyone in the family. He has been loving risotto from his first taste of it at 6 months old. So if you want
