Don’t we all have those lazy TV dinner moments when all we want is a film and some good old comfort food?! Rob and I had one of those moments last sunday evening. We had taken the dog out for a run and it had started to tip down with rain half way round. By the time we got […]

Hungry an hour after breakfast? Then read this…

Maybe you choose a tasty bowl of cereal or a couple of slices of toast with marmite (or should I say vegemite now that I’m in Oz!)? Perhaps you are on a bit of […]

My new favourite food of the moment has to be 100% natural almond butter!  This is why: – It really tastes so good! It’s similar to peanut butter but it is sweeter and creamier. For a yummy snack try spreading almond butter on low GI oat cakes (much tastier than a sugary laden biscuit) and sprinkle with some pumpkin seeds. […]

So everyone around you is tucking into a nice glass of wine and for whatever reason (health kick, antibiotics, pregnant) you are on the water.

THE BEST Pancakes Ever… plus they are Healthy!

In my opinion (and singer Jack Johnson’s) there is nothing more scrumptious than freshly made pancakes on a Sunday morning!! Just thinking about the smell of them right now makes me salivate!   We discovered this recipe for high protein pancakes a few months ago and we just can’t get enough of them! They are gluten-free, very high in protein so they […]
