I was a fussy child. I don’t mean that I didn’t quite like the taste of broccoli or peas. If I could smell the peas being cooked in the same kitchen, I wouldn’t eat my dinner. I couldn’t eat out with my family when we went for Sunday lunch. I couldn’t begin to explain to...
You know those meals where even though food is coming out your ears, you just keep eating….Well “Greedy McStuffins” here knows all about it. I started and I just couldn’t stop. It was fine for himself – he spent 5 hours on the bike in 28 degree heat cycling up mountains yesterday. My 4.5km run...
Lungs burning, muscles quivering, every fibre in your body telling you that this rep will be the last one, and then you do 3 more. If you’ve been there, you know how it feels. It hurts, but you just want more. I have been told by more than one person that Crossfit is the best...
I’m just going to put it out there and say it. I’m owning up. I’m coming clean. The affair is over. I think…….How do I say this? I think…. I’m nearly a vegetarian. Initially, it really wasn’t by choice. The renal diet I was funnelled into was the beginning of the end. Where previously I...
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I had to share this one because it turned out far more delicious than I anticipated. It is ideal as a vegetarian recipe but you could also add chicken or fish if you wanted to. It can be eaten as a side dish with a roast dinner or as the...
I’m a particularly positive person. When it’s raining, the coats and wellies go on and we are out the door. When I’m injured, its an opportunity to try something new and give the injury a rest. When I get bad news, I take a very logical approach, I decide what the next move will be...
“When you wake up in the morning Pooh, whats the first thing you say to yourself?” “Whats for breakfast. What do you say Piglet?” “I wonder whats exciting going to happen today” Pooh nodded thoughtfully “Its the same thing” It started with Frosties, dry, no milk (because lets face it, when they get soggy...
Follow my blog with Bloglovin The sun is back – can I have a hallelujah? My kids are typically Irish in the sense that the second there is a sliver of sunlight, they strip off into shorts and tshirts (ignoring the goosebumps and lack of circulation in their fingers) and call for ice-cream. Now, I do...
I remember my first pregnancy like it was yesterday. All I wanted was sour cream on pizza (yes, that was a thing) and profiteroles. Unfortunately for me, I indulged in my cravings. When my oldest was born 9 months worth of cheat days later I was, as my mother would put it, grand and strong....
This is what its all about for me. This dish is one of my favourites – not only because it tastes amazing, but because EVERYONE in the family eats it and I don’t have to spend time altering it for anyone. Tonight’s dinner was made on the fly. I cheated BIG time and bought a...
