Bye Bye Boring Salads

It’s that time of year when every one is riding the ‘health horse’, trying to undo the damage of festive feasting when Quality Street chocolate somehow became acceptable as a meal and multiple cheese courses in a day became the norm. I actually can’t eat the majority of the holiday treats which I’m pretty happy…

‘Avo’ Slice

I’ve chatted about my dietary restrictions on the blog before and for the most part I get along just fine. In all honesty I wouldn’t want to eat any other way after nearly a year (bar the occasional pesky fluffy pancake or cinnamon bun craving). Having said that the main thing that will get to me…

Gluten Free Lemon Chilli Noodle Bowl

It’s been a good old while since I last had any foodie posts on here so right now I intend to put that right! I’m not great with lunch in general. It’s a meal I certainly see more as fuel than pleasure but I guess that hasn’t been helped by me feeling on / off…

coming home

There’s nothing quite like coming home. Agreed? I love going out and I also love getting away for a break sometimes, but there’s something really nice about arriving back home again from wherever you’ve been. Being out a lot actually makes me crave home and all the little comforts that come from your own space…

dipped berry & pistachio shortbread

Hello Lovely Drawer readers! This is far prettier than what I’ve been looking at most of the day. I had a pile of banking to get sorted for The Lovely Drawer…two months worth to be precise. I will try and not use busyness as an excuse again as I never want to have to do…

match made in heaven

You certainly don’t have to be whizz in the kitchen to pull these bad boys off, instead the flavour combination does all the talking! We had a brie and walnut pizza in Belgium (authentic, I know) and it was so delicious that I felt inspired to do something along the same lines. You can find…

a classic…not so classic

You may remember me doing a guest post for the very lovely Lauren over at Aspiring Kennedy blog a little while ago. From now on I’ll be guest posting a recipe every month. Today’s recipe was a revelation for me. I’d never liked this boring old sponge until I tried this version at a friend’s tea party.…

blonde is best

Controversial as it may be, I would always choose a blondie over a brownie. The only exception being when peanut butter is involved…naturally. Here’s a very yummy recipe I tried out recently. The blueberries add moisture and I really liked that you could taste the nuttiness of the ground almonds. So here’s the recipe for…
