Cherries & Berries Overnight Oats

Im useless at getting organised in the morning. My brain just doesn’t function that early and I always end up either with a bacon roll from Greggs or Marmite toast.  Neither of these are particularly good for me and my doctors have been banging on at me about having porridge for breakfast for years –…

Raspberry & chocolate brioche pudding

I saw this recipe on come dine with me and just had to try it (well the Dazzler just kept staring at me until I tried to make it). I had no idea where to get the recipe as it was an old episode so last night I raided google and my larder and made…

Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

I saw the recipe that inspired this whilst I was doing my daily trawl of Pinterest! I could literally spend hours looking through recipes and have amassed somewhat of a collection- so much so that it’s become something of a recipe book for me!! The original recipe caught my eye because it combines chicken, lemons…

The love affair is over….

This is one of the hardest posts I have ever had to write. Its never easy when a love affair ends, especially when this particular love affair has lasted almost my entire lifetime. Noone wants to admit when a relationship becomes toxic, when one is damaged by the continued need for the object of your…
