Yesterday I shared five of my favourite soup recipes – and today I’m turning my attention to smoothies. All these recipes are perfect if you’re looking to eat healthier now the festive season is over. I’ve been a big fan of smoothies for a few years now. They’re a great...
Just about everyone I know seems to be on a healthy January mission at the moment, after the excesses of the festive season. Cardiff Mummy included! So it’s soup all round in our household in an effort to make up for one too many treats over the festive season. I...
Like a lot of work-at-home/stay-at-home mums, I do pretty much all the cooking in our house. For the most part, I don’t mind. It’s something I enjoy doing, even if it’s not always easy preparing food with three small children in the house. However, it’s always such a treat when...
It’s so easy in the winter to reach for stodgy comfort foods. Salads and the like don’t seem anywhere near as appealing when you’re making tea in the dark and you’re cold even though the heating is on full blast. These stuffed mushrooms make a great lunch-time alternative to sandwiches,...
Back in the summer, I bought a bag of brown lentils with the intention of making some lentil burgers out of them. Well, life got in the way and, four months later, they were still sat unopened in the back of the cupboard. Until this week, that is. I’m currently...
Halloween never used to be this much of a ‘thing’ when I was a kid. Costumes were made out of whatever you had lying around the house, rather than pre-bought from your local supermarket. I remember on more than one occasion wearing a witch’s cape made out of a bin...
Now that the weather’s getting colder, I’m finding myself craving warming, comforting dishes. But as I’m also eating healthy, the challenge is not to reach for the stodgy, fatty foods. This Moroccan vegetable tagine is a real favourite of mine. I love the deep blend of flavours and the way...
Anyone who has attended any kind of social occasion with me in the last 10 years or so will have tried these. They are one of my fail-safe, go-to dishes and they are always so popular. They’re probably one of the simplest recipes I’ve ever featured on my blog, but...
I mentioned homemade popcorn in my kids’ summer to-do list post as one of 50 simple things to enjoy this summer. A few friends have told me they’ve never made it before and asked what they need to do. It’s so simple, I promise, and great fun too. The key is getting...
Cardiff Daddy and I went to Wahaca for the first time recently. We loved it! So much in fact, we went back again a few weeks later. From the bird cage swings and the cocktails on the top floor, to the casual canteen style seating, their Cardiff restaurant was such a...
I’ve had quite a few conversations recently about the home-made almond butter I’ve been making. I’ve promised the recipe to a few people, so I thought I might as well share it on my blog too. I love it! It’s so simple to make, tastes delicious and has really helped...
