I love a bargain and I love using up leftovers. This recipes combines both! Using some puff pastry I found reduced to 16p and the veggies that were in need of being eaten quick. This was a bit of a gamble as I haven’t cooked a whole heap with beetroot but the sweetness of the […]
Dietitians’ Week: A snapshot of my life as a dietitian.
This week 8th-12th June is officially DIETITIANS WEEK. Unfortunately that doesn’t mean a week off for us hard-working dietitian’s. Maybe I should suggest that! Instead many departments and dietitians around the UK are taking the opportunity to work even harder and put on special events to celebrate and highlight dietitians. There are also twitter chats […]
Winner of the British Dietetic Association Media Spokesperson of the Year Award 2015.
I’m still slightly in shock. However I have a trophy and certificate to prove it. This week I travelled up to Birmingham for the British Dietetic Associations Annual Awards Dinner. This was a great opportunity to network, meet lots of people who I’ve heard of, seen in the past or chatted to on social media… […]
Good Friday Mess.
This Easter Miss K is 4. Already she is telling me that the Easter bunny will be coming with chocolate eggs – which is not something she has picked up from home… so today we took full advantage of our local churches and descended into the full on Mess of Messy Church. Good Friday morning we […]
Welcome 2015, resolve to relax.
2014 you were officially a whirlwind. With a baby, a preschooler and 2 businesses to run I had to cut maternity leave short and get right back into the craziness of working around my littlies. Trust me this is not recommended and leads to generalised chaos, very little sleep and a never ending to-do list. […]
Tea Pigs Review
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 […]
Pilates: the best workout you can do.
Ok so I must declare I am completely biased as I am not only a Pilates fanatic and a Pilates teacher but I am also a Pilates studio owner. As a dietitian I know that only focusing on eating a healthy diet will only give me half the results that I want. In order to […]
