It’s been a crazy time. We went to Los Angeles for Christmas and new year, we got caught up on the chaos that was “Gatwick Dronegate” but we are now back in the UK. Whenever we travel, once home and over the jet lag I like to spend a day, or at least a long…

Honey & Chilli Glaze
Just a quick one for now…. I ❤️ honey. I really do and I’m so fortunate that I can get good local honey from where my work office is in Upshire. Local bees collecting pollen from local flowers and the resulting honey travelling just 5 miles before consumption in my home. Now, tonight is Pork…
Salad Days
I can’t quite believe it’s November 8th and I’m still making salad sides ….. normally by this time of the year we are well into our hearty stews, curries and comfort food which helps us get through winter. Tonight we are having steak and Jacket Potatoes so I’m also serving up this simple side of…
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.

Slow cooker Pork
I love my slow cooker but we have had our fair share of disasters together. Mainly dried out chicken or meat that’s so soggy you could wrong it out! But it’s never stopped me trying. This is a deliciously spicy dish that’s slimming world friendly. If you are not following slimming world it’s less fiddly…
The journey continues……. So, last night, I was going to blog but Jet Lag claimed me….. I can never understand how no matter what you do to avoid it, Jet Lag WILL get you. It’ is however a small price to pay for visiting Los Angeles. This was one of my favourite views from our…

I am back………… I realised I have not blogged anything on here since October 2015 That’s pathetic! my last post was full of reasons (excuses) as to why I hadn’t blogged for a while, I’m not going there again……. Just know I am back and on a mission I need to loose a serious amount…
