    I love winter foods. Stews, chilli, a  massive pot of spaghetti, soups… So this week is all about winter comfort foods. Tonight I made chilli, which I’ve been making for years. Each time I make it something different happens, and I love that about cooking. Being able to bring seemingly random things from our cupboards…

    This week will be all about easy. My slow cooker will get a lot of use! Chilli, my own ‘mexican mess’ creation, and stew feature on the menu. Weather be damned, I will have winter comfort foods! It may not feel like much of a winter outside thanks to the mild temperatures and rain, but…

    In my previous post I mentioned planning meals as part of my plan to combat stress over the next few weeks. Yesterday I made our weekly meal plan and I’ve spent some time this weekend baking as well. Spur of the moment yesterday I decided rather than throw another bunch of bananas in the bin…

    Last week I realised there was only 6 weeks before heading to Ibiza. The trip was booked in January and I’m really looking forward to it, but admittedly the first few months of this year just did not go like I wanted. But that’s life and we move on. So, with 6 weeks left to…

    It’s been almost 3 full weeks since I gave up cow’s milk dairy products. I quickly adapted to using almond, soy and oat milk, all of which are good for various things and pretty darn yummy. Chocolate oat milk is delish in a protein shake w/ a banana. Almond milk is good with berries in…

    I’m used to having weird dreams, the majority of my dreams are the most bizarre things I can possibly imagine amplified times a million, but this morning I had the craziest dream I can recall in ages. I was travelling to the States to go visit someone and for some reason I can’t comprehend I…

    I promised food porn, so food porn there will be! But first, a quick little update. Phase 1 of SBD is giving me hell this time around. Headaches, lethargy… it didn’t help that it coincided with the worst possible week so I was especially cravey and cranky. But I got through the first week and…

    It feels like more and more often I’m having meh days, bad days or just plain ol’ horrible days. Over the past week I’ve felt like I have gotten myself back and you know what? I’ve missed me!! I enjoyed today. Yeah, I was at work and that kinda sucks, but overall I had an…

    Happy New Year’s Eve! I love this time of year and looking forward to what the next year will bring. I’m making a huge pot of spaghetti for tonight, the sauce has been on since this morning and is in the slow cooker bubbling away. Spaghetti is one of my favourite foods, but only if…
