Traffic Lights For Nutrition Remember the food pyramid? For years Nutrition Australia have promoted their food pyramid as an easy guide to the types of foods, and the amounts of those foods, that we should include in our diets every day for good nutrition. Over the years the pyramid has changed to reflect the latest […]
Foodie Friday
Foodie Friday today, is an old favourite, with a few small changes. Spaghetti Bolognese is usually quite rich and heavy, so a few years ago, I modified the recipe, only slightly and tried it out on my grandchildren. They loved it. This is the recipe, that I’ve used since then. It’s very quick and easy […]

Sugar Free at Xmas?
This photo, showing amounts of sugar in certain foods has been around on the internet for a while now. Every time I see it, I feel horrified and it always makes me think of going sugar free again, as I do from time to time. But I’m not so stupid as to think that […]
