I first found this recipe in a Mindful Chef box. Butter bean mash wasn’t something I’d made previously, but it’s a great alternative to regular potato mash. Much healthier too. Butter beans naturally create a creamy texture when mashed down, so there’s no need to add butter or milk. Served alongside a vegetabl tomato ragu, […]

We made this delicious dish at the weekend for lunch, but it would equally make a great dinner option. Instead of using a more common red kidney bean and meat combo, we’ve used black beans and added a touch of sweetness with grilled pineapple. The mix of ingredients and strong flavours, work perfectly together. If […]

I normally find thinking of a dish for dinner quite stressful, especially when we have very little food in the house. However, sometimes I really enjoy it, particularly if we have a couple of ingredients left over in the fridge that need eating. In this case it was a couple of courgettes. We hadn’t used […]

I have always tried my best to look after my skin. Whether that’s by using SPF, creating a daily skincare routine, or drinking more water. However, since birth I have suffered from eczema.

It’s the perfect dish to serve when entertaining guests, as it makes a pretty spectacular centre piece! Baked in the oven with a delicious medley of Mediterranean ingredients, it’s packed full of colour and flavour. […]

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you’ll know there’s nothing I like more than whipping up a curry for dinner. Whilst we’ve made many variations over the years (you can find them all here), we haven’t made too many dahls before. And yet we always love to order a dahl when eating out. […]

Every year I like to share a recap of how the year has gone for me and my family. What I’ve achieved, what’s been enjoyable and perhaps what’s been difficult. As the end of the year approaches, it’s a great time to reflect. And I love re-reading my posts from previous years too. Last year […]
