You know those days when you look at the next days diary and realise it’s just going to be a hectic morning, with no time for breakfast? Or those evenings you feel dog-tired and know you need a few extra minutes in bed? Well in my mind not eating breakfast is NOT AN OPTION. I […]
Low fat, Healthy Mushroom Stroganoff
We all love mushrooms in our house, they are always in the fridge which means this quick, easy recipe is a great standby one. However this week I had a handful of real mushroom beauties to use… that we had grown ourselves in the kitchen (using a mushroom growing kit before you query my cleaning […]
Va Va Vroom Vegetable Fajitas
This week I haven’t managed to blog much as the toddler has been sick, not sleeping much and in my bed. Sleep deprivation and a need for many mummy cuddles balanced around work has been a real juggle! Today she has definitely been on the mend, which has given me some more time to get […]
Healthier Chocolate Brownies: gluten and wheat free.
This week California Prunes were kind enough to send me some samples of their delicious, juice prunes. They came individually wrapped which I thought was a bit quirky and great if you just wanted one at a time but a bit of a faff if you wanted more than one. The prunes themselves really are […]

The Homemade Bread Trial
After about 12 years my trusty old breadmaker recently gave up on me, well to be more precise, I gave up on it. It was making all kinds of odd noises and only baked bread properly with a tea towel over the top of it, my wheat free bread wasn’t working at all. So I’ve […]
Butternut Squash baked and stuffed with lentils
I love butternut squash, this recipe was inspired by a friend has made a similar dish for me for lunch on occasion and it’s alwasy stood out in my memory, so here is my take on it. Its a good way to get veggies into those who aren’t keen on them, the butternut goes sweet, […]
Masala Dosa Delight.
I’m half Sri-lankan and that half of me tends to have a large influence in my cooking styles. Luckily my husband is a huge fan of this type of cooking and the toddler is quite keen too. In fact we took her to Sri-Lanka and she suprised me by eating nearly everything I ate, spices […]
