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, […]

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.

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

I’ve been enjoying getting back into cooking after all being away for some time at Christmas. The family have been requesting meals they have missed – simple, healthy, fresh foods, plus the kids favs of pasta and cheese! We haven’t had curry over Christmas, which is pretty much unheard of. This is a healthy take

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

Curry, on chilly days there is nothing like it to warm your bones. This is a mild, family friendly version that my kids loved. We have a jar of chilli that sits on our table so the adults can zing it up if they want to. Being half Sri-Lankan, curry has to feature in our

I’ve decided to try out some new slow cooker recipes, so this week I’m going a bit experimental with our dinners. I’m expecting a few meals which aren’t that great and hoping for a few which will be little gems that we discover. I get a lot of my inspiration from Pinterest, so I hopped

I love cooking, but there are days when I just need something I can throw in the oven and leave it to cook itself. Days when I really don’t have the energy to cook but know it’s even more important that I have a healthy dinner at that point. Know what I mean? This recipe
