It’s a well known fact that I love tea… the two teas I was sent to review from Tea Pigs are not my usual cuppa, so it was great to try something new. They have a great branding and the products just look good. I was sent: Organic Matcha. This is made from green tea leaves, […]
Turning 4.
Miss K turned 4 this week. I absolutely love birthdays and wanted her to have a party that suited her. This is a girl who likes smaller rather than larger, likes to be in a space she is familiar with, has a creative spirit and sparkles! For her actual birthday she celebrated with sushi, an […]
Slow cooker beef in red wine.
Sundays are special. My day off work, a time for family, a time to wind down and slow down the pace. Today we went out for an advent to Mottisfont and explored the grounds. A great place for kids as they have amazingly created dens, things to find and open space to run in. Plenty […]

Coconut Oil: Is it all its cracked up to be?
I’m half Srilankan, a country where the coconut is a bit of celebrity and the whole of it is used in various ways. I must admit to not being a fan of coconut water or plain coconut but I do love it in a curry! The lastest craze of coconut oil has been one I’ve […]
Dietitians Week Twitter Chats
This week is excitingly the very first Dietitians week. Departments and dietitians all around the country and some internationally will be putting on events, stands, talks, blog posts and generally shouting about dietitians, nutrition and food! Being a small freelancer I’m not putting on an event but will be sharing some blog posts and taking […]
Salmon and Vegetable Bake
I love fish but I sometimes struggle to get it into our weekly menu as hubby isn’t that keen on it. Anything with bones, a head or tails is definitely not allowed on the table (prawns excepted) and anything too fishy is also a no go. So here is my latest fishy offering and this […]
