seared tuna and carrot ‘pasta’ ribbons

I really miss Pasta sometimes but it always comatoses me when I have it at night, which is when, lets face it, we all want a comforting bowl of pasta!! Whilst this isn’t pasta it’s bloody lovely and really fills a pasta shaped hole when you need it. And what’s more its very carb light…

I’ve got a big bag of salad….Now what?

After this weekends fabbifun I’ve just spent the day recovering (yes I already booked it off) and have just risen from my pit feeling the need to replenish the good feeling I had before the weekend. Now don’t get me wrong. This isn’t a ‘woe is me’ post, I knew what I was getting myself…

My Sugar Free Tutti Fruity Jelly Surprise

What is it about Diabetes and Sugar Cravings? My whole life I’ve been a savoury person but since I’ve been told I cant have sugary stuff – its all I’ve wanted. So as I’m now back on the wagon I’ve been trying to come up with something that will manage my cravings but not send…

Steak & chips can be healthy!!!

After a week of what feel like ‘ranty’ posts I’m back on track, although you will have noticed that I’ve been strangely quiet on the battle of the bulge front of late! The answer is simple….. I’ve been crap!! As I’ve been in the first couple of months of a new job Ive given myself…

Another day, another Doughnut!!

Life isn’t easy being Diabetic!! Not only do I have to take medication for the rest of my life but in addition I cant join in with the office fun that is ‘bring a treat to work’ day!! Today is a case in point….not one but TWO birthdays both involving cakes, sweeties and even a…

If I see another Burger!!!!

I’m making meatballs!! Ok, it’s Hot, it’s Sunny, and we bought the gas BBQ 2 years ago with the sole aim of evening BBQs AND we have used it more this week, then we did in 2011 and 12 combined BUT I don’t know how many ways I can make burned food taste different. So…

Brighton BBQ day!!

We Brits have not been lucky in the sun department over the last 100 or so years. So when we get some great weather it’s important to celebrate!! We’ve had over a week of gorgeous weather so we decided to get a couple of friends round and have cocktails and a BBQ. What could be…

Bean Chili – Its not just for Veggies!!

I’m feeling the need of something comforting yet healthy this week as work has been all out. So I thought this weekend I would dedicate to making something I haven’t made for a couple of years but I used to LOVE – My Bean Goo – or bean chili to the uninitiated!! It’s a pretty…

OMG Rum & Coke Float….Heaven

Most of my posts lately have been about either food or going out so I thoughtId combine the two. What prompted this blatant mixture of styles I hear you cry? Well we are in the middle of a heat wave so we are spending the afternoons in the garden, right next to the ice cream…
