Whoops… not paprika potatoes!

We've been very busy - lots of work last week getting invitations out, and decorating jars (I'll post on that when I get a chance!) - and this week the kids have a swim camp, so I'm just checking in quickly! But I thought I'd give you a laugh - today we had the gas … Continue reading Whoops… not paprika potatoes!

Paprika Potatoes!

Now I am aware I might be late to the party, but I have just made these, and they are so easy and so delicious! The other day I was making a Spanish Omelette and I wasn't using chorizo (it's not free on Slimming World, and I had none anyway!) - so I wanted to … Continue reading Paprika Potatoes!

A speed bump in my exercise

I was pretty gutted on Saturday night to get out for a walk with my other half, to only get a small way up the road and realise that I couldn't go on with the pain. Shin splints. A few years ago I was "training" for a mini marathon and I got shin splints. I … Continue reading A speed bump in my exercise

Not my story to tell?

This is something I would love to hear feedback from other bloggers on. It is something that comes into my mind a lot when I think of things I would like to write about. It is something I struggle with. A lot of my life time stories are not just MY stories. There are other people … Continue reading Not my story to tell?

Little walks add up to big miles!

About two or three months ago, I started using the treadmill and I could feel my shin splints coming on. I went over to a fitness store, where they analyse your gait and check your pronation and they advise which style of runners would be best for you. When we were looking at options, the … Continue reading Little walks add up to big miles!

Sock Mountain!

This is something that we have in our house - but I don't think other households do. Some of my friends and family think I'm crazy for doing it this way, but I find that it really is much easier and works for our household. Basically I have a specific bag hanging in my utility … Continue reading Sock Mountain!

Spinach Cannelloni (Slimming World Friendly!)

I've realised that I need to have decent food on hand throughout the day, or else I pick at anything I can find - so I've been making up batches of this spinach cannelloni. Because on Slimming World you eat 1/3 "superfree" (fruit or veg) with everything you eat, I've been trying to beef up … Continue reading Spinach Cannelloni (Slimming World Friendly!)

Chocolate Biscuit Cake!

I've made this chocolate biscuit cake a few times now, for special occasions. It is really simple to make, and so delicious! Friends and family have got the recipe from me and have been making it since, so I decided I'd share it here. Here is a picture of the most recent one that I … Continue reading Chocolate Biscuit Cake!

How much exercise?

Can anyone help me on this one? I'm wondering how much exercise is too much? I did an exercise DVD this morning, thinking I wouldn't have a chance to get out on the treadmill - but then my other half arrived home at lunchtime and said sure go on out on the treadmill, which I … Continue reading How much exercise?

I’m back!

I've been a bit quiet the past week or two because I've been arranging the celebrations for my Princess P who made her First Holy Communion this weekend. The school and the children put a lot of work into the religious side of the celebration, and I just had to do the planning, cooking and … Continue reading I’m back!
