One of the many misconceptions I had about being a mum was around eating. SURELY, I thought, if I did baby-led weaning, and was super chilled around Theo’s mealtimes, then he’d gobble up everything I served him, including all sorts of vegetables? HA! It all […]
I never used to be a fan of fruit in savoury food until I tried satsuma in a salad. I’ve discovered this basically because Theo used to love satsumas, so we’d always buy them, but recently he’s decided he hates them, and won’t touch them […]
Happy Monday! What did you have for breakfast yesterday? I am a big pancake fan. Once every week or two on a Sunday, I mix up a batch of blueberry or raspberry pancakes for Theo and I to enjoy. I have mine with maple syrup, […]
Last week, I had a day off to go and get my birthday massage. I know! Only three months later than planned. It was awesome. I had planned to go for lunch beforehand in the neighbourhood, but I hadn’t quite anticipated just how tight finances […]
There’s this couscous salad that Waitrose does that I absolutely love. It’s the Moroccan spiced fruity couscous salad. It’s £1.99, which isn’t that much, but the portion size is tiny, meaning that I always end up having to get another salad to go along with it, […]

A very simple recipe today for some baked sweet potato and garden pea fritters that I made recently for lunch. Fritters that are baked is kind of an oxymoron, but I wasn’t sure what else to call them? Patties? Pancakes? Those are also usually fried. […]
I’ve never made cannelloni before, but this was really simple and very tasty. I made it so that I had something other than toast or baked sweet potatoes for Theo’s lunch. To be honest, it isn’t his favourite, but I had some myself and it’s […]
This vegetarian marinara sauce is one of Peter’s favourite recipes, so he takes full credit for this one. He whips up a big batch every month or so, we have a bit on the night he makes it, and then it goes into the freezer […]
Yup, it’s that time of year again. You know, I’d say I’m generally a pretty healthy person, but there is a definite January urge to find healthy recipes and try to cleanse myself of some of the excesses of December. Even this past December, with […]
