No not that sort of magic mushroom but these are quite tasty & very easy to make. You know me, I like great flavoursome food that is quick and easy to make. No need to give yourself 100 steps in a recipe to follow when you only need 45! Not that this has 45 steps…

Ginger, Lemon & Honey Flapjacks
Gooey, sticky crunchy goodness. I love a flapjack. All too often when you buy a flapjack from a commercial bakers or to go with your grande, non-fat, frappa mocha, extra dry, hold the whipped, pumpkin spiced latte… they tend to be too dry or rather tasteless. Now, if you are having a major flapjack emergency…
Cabbage
Sometimes we overlook a basic ingredient. We try to jazz it up too much, add herbs, spices, braise it in wine, just mess around with it so much it looses its real quality. For me cabbage is one of those vegetables that I feel we often loose our way with. Too often cabbage brings back…
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Yep I know I’m not really giving a recipe here but this afternoon I had the urge to make an American style grilled cheese sandwich for our foster daughter. Normally I pull out the toastie maker, load in too much cheese, wait 20 minutes for it to heat up then have to spend 30 minutes…
Easy Chicken Soup
I love a good soup! Be it a decent tinned soup that we turn to for comfort or a posh carton soup for decadence, soup is a real go to comfort food. Before my SlimmingWorld journey I would often just reach for a tin of tomato soup and consume it with a huge cheese toastie….

Your People
A.K.A South African Comfort food! What I find really interesting in life, is sometimes people you meet you connect with on a simple level, they become “people you know” and then sometimes you meet people who become “Your People”. You know what I mean. “Your people” are the people you connect with, you click with,…
Perfect Parsnips
I love Parsnips! Not just at Christmas time, but all through the Autumn and Winter season. This is my recipe for Perfect Parsnips. You can’t be bashful about using fats when cooking these perfect parsnips. They are not for those on a diet!! For a large side portion of Perfect Parsnips take 1kg of Medium…
A Sprout is not just for Christmas
Christmas Time – Sprouts. Yes it’s the best time of the year to eat sprouts, they are in season, they are small nutty bundles of sweet green vegetable! A lot of people don’t like them, proboably because they are associated with small mushy bundles!! Try them this way and you may just like them, or…
