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 […]
Foodie Friday
Snack Boxes I noticed recently that snack boxes, sometimes called Bento Boxes were showing up online, as being on trend. Highly stylised instagram photos were featuring them heavily. For a while, I was ignoring them, as these extremely stylised instagram posts, are the opposite to the authentic photos of every day life that I prefer. […]

I’m sure everyone has seen the increase in popularity of cauliflower recently. It’s a vegetable that I really love so I’m always happy to try new ways of cooking it. One of my favourites is my version of cauliflower rice. It’s very simple, very quick and after you’ve made it the first time, really doesn’t […]

I’ve always thought of Sarah […]

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 […]
