Howdy Peeps, I'm the idiot 🙋‍♀️ I've been making a broccoli rice casserole for years (I think I saw it on Moneysaving Mom originally). Brilliant for times like these when we want to make the food last. I was just gonna give you the recipe, coz it's easy and cheap but then realised the ton [...]
Howdy Peeps! The day started with germs and hailstorms, but got better as the morning went on. I've done lots of cleaning and sorting and holiday prep today. Also, Mr.B is home so we've been tackling a load of paperwork and renewals for bill contracts (that'll be a whole different blog!)...boring but productive. The teenager [...]
Helloooooooo Peeps! I've been getting kinda frustrated because that sinus infection I had has stopped me exercising (you sorta have to be able to breathe to exercise) but they changed my meds on Friday and I can actually breathe now! (Hooray!) So I'm starting to turn my attention towards healthy living again. I need to [...]
Afternoon Peeps! October is crazy and exciting and full of change. There are memories of house-moves and friends' special birthdays, there's half term holidays to look forward to, there are new pupils to meet and lectures to attend. My daughter is looking forward to all of it, she loves the autumn season best of all: [...]
Morning Peeps! You know we're all going to be studying like crazy, well we still need to eat. I've sorted my pantry and bulk-bought some staples, so we can study without living on pizza! Obviously I will buy some regular/fresh groceries but I've stocked up on easy ingredients and household essentials... if I get back [...]
Howdy Peeps! It's getting into season for Pomegranates, which I love, so I went looking for recipes to use them. Will totally eat them as they are or on a salad, but I was looking for something different. (Good excuse to buy more, eh?) I was not disappointed! If you go to BBC Good Food [...]
Howdy Friday Peeps! Probably not a compatible with my diet and healthy living posts but...cake! I've not eaten any I promise, but if you're easily tempted you may want to look away now. I found a cake decorator on YouTube called the Icing Artist and her cakes are amazing... you can find her here. I [...]
Hello Peeps, how y'all doing? Had a bit of an oops moment yesterday with the low carb/sugar thing. Was a long day at the end of a long week....I bought pizza. I have no regret, I'm human. We'll move on. Just telling you in the interests of honesty because I promised I'd update you. Catch [...]
Howdy Friday Peeps! It's been an interesting week, not least because we are still in weather warnings: Stay safe and stay away from the coast as they reckon it's 5m surf offshore and high tide will be 30cm+ (1ft) higher than expected. Today is Friday, wet and windy but it's Friday. No 4:30 alarm tomorrow [...]
Hi-de-hi Festive Peeps! 2 weeks today is the big day itself! Aside from Christmas day itself, there will be parties and quiet evenings in, busy days and food gifts....all these require different types of food, so here are a few options: Andrea at Cooking With A Wallflower has these gorgeous salted caramel cookies which would be a lovely [...]
