In a bid to be a little healthier (and reduce my carbon footprint), I’ve started trying to eat at least two vegetarian meals a week. So when Hello Fresh got in touch to ask if I would like to collaborate, I was extremely excited as I know how tasty their recipes are and I thought […]

  Out of the trillions of bacteria in your body, the majority reside in your intestines. These are known as the ‘gut flora or gut microbiome’. They are essential to your system and many are beneficial to your health. However, like all things, there are some that are harmful and can cause problems if and […]

  BBQ season is upon us, which means that now is the ideal time to start thinking about all of the best BBQ recipes, from marinades and salads to grilling and smoking.   Are you tired of the same old BBQ food? (For me, burgers and sausages are just too samey!)   This summer, when […]

  We might live to share picture-perfect shots of food on Instagram, but what a lot of us have never considered is the fact that social media is actually changing how we eat and drink as a society. There’s no doubt that technology is changing the way we go about our everyday lives, but I personally […]

    Throughout the years, there’s been a lot of talk about what we should and shouldn’t include in our diets. In recent years, there has been a vote of confidence on the likes of sweet potato, kale, and quinoa. However, is eating such foods beneficial enough to spend the extra money? And what exactly […]

  Here in the UK, we love cooking a meal for the family. Studies have shown that we own an average of five recipe books each, but now, more so than ever, we find ourselves turning to TV cooking shows, such as Come Dine with Me and The Great British Bake Off for further inspiration. […]

  Summer is still just about here, and it’s the ideal time to fire up the barbeque and host an outdoor soiree for your family and friends. However, before you start inviting people, there are a few things you should think about – especially if you want to pull off the perfect al fresco feast. […]

  If you follow my Instagram, then you will have probably noticed that I share a lot of photos of coffee. That’s because I am a major coffee addict – in a healthy way of course. I drink a lot of coffee – perhaps a little too much at times, but it’s my go-to drink […]

  I remember when I first started university; I was wonderfully naive and thought that my student loan and grant for the semester would leave me with plenty of money to spare. Oh boy was I wrong. Once you account for the cost of all those nights outs, brunches with coursemates, and that kabab you […]

  You know those people who managed to eliminate sweets and unhealthy snacks from their daily diets? While most allow themselves to indulge a bit now and then, the majority of the sugarless people even claim that they don’t really miss their regular treats too much.   It’s taking healthy living to a whole other […]

  Last Wednesday I made the trek from Exeter to Plymouth to attend a McDonalds’ blogger event. When I received an email from their PR team inviting me along, I couldn’t say no, especially as I would get the chance to make my very own Big Mac! I mean, who can say that they’ve actually […]

  I don’t know about you, but I’m a gal who can’t go without breakfast. I think it’s partially because as a child, I always had the most wonderful breakfasts. My parents didn’t give me a bowl of cereal, I always had healthy, wholesome dishes to start the day. On the odd occasion – normally […]

  France is famous for its patisseries and their beautiful croissants, tarts, and petit fours. Not to mention those delicious coffees and fruit teas that they offer. It’s these traditional items that give authentic patisseries such a good name. If you’ve always loved visiting patisseries and have a keen interest in the items on their […]

  When it comes to getting your caffeine fix at home, it can be a nightmare trying to find a coffee machine that matches your taste and lifestyle. Do you go for a filter coffee machine or one that makes the coffee using pods? There are so many different options out there now that finding […]

  I am a coffee addict   It’s no secret that I am seriously addicted to coffee. I love the taste, smell, EVERYTHING about it. Normally, I stick to lattes or flat whites – with a shot of vanilla or hazelnut in. However, as we’ve been experiencing a mini heatwave, I’ve been all about the […]

  I am a big foodie. Not in the sense that I’m a fantastic cook – the fiance does most of the cooking in our house, but I like good food. When I plan a holiday, I always look for the place with the nicest cuisine. When I visit a new city, I always research […]

  I’ve spent the last few weeks eating incredibly unhealthily. Crumpets, ice creams, burgers, you name it, I’ve had it. The thing is, I went on holiday for a week and that’s what started it. I indulged in a few little treats because, well, I was on holiday. The problem was that when I got […]

  Let’s be honest about it; we all love sugar. We stir it into our teas and coffees, we add it to our cereal; we bake with it, and so much more. The problem is that as much as we love the sweet taste that sugar gives, it’s not good for us. It slows brain […]

  I am a major tea addict; I love the stuff. You know the PG Tips monkey – well I totally agree with him on the whole #keepittea thing. I do love coffee, especially those tasty flavoured lattes, but they’re nowhere near as refreshing or delicious as a cup of tea. It’s clear that I’m […]

  Well ladies, it’s official, once again Valentine’s Day is here. Tomorrow will mark the day of love, which means roses, cutesy cards and candle lit dinners for two, if you’re organised that is. If life’s got on top of you and now – just a few hours before the big day, you’re starting to […]

  Tomorrow it’s Shrove Tuesday – aka Pancake Day, which means that it’s time to get your pinny on. Of all the annual holidays, Pancake Day is one of my favourites. I think I love it so much because as a child, I can always remember it being so much fun. Helping my parents to […]

  If like me, you’ve had a tough week, you might be in need of a little weekend pick-me-up. How about treating yourself to a gooey, chocolatey treat – you’ve got it, I’m talking about chocolate mug cake. Oh yes, the perfect way to spoil yourself on a Friday night, or any other evening for […]
