Resolution Rebel…
West African Peanut Soup (Vegan) In recent years I’ve rebelled against resolutions! Those few months after Christmas before Spring is hard enough, so like an obstinate child, I would begin in February. To me, this felt a more gentle start to the year with a month to permeate the changes…..in line with what I wanted …
Doing a Meg Ryan…..
Moong Dhal with courgettes I’ve got a new rule. When opportunities come knocking, I’m just gonna say yes! The cool thing with that is I don’t have to let my brain get involved….and here’s why. It totally means well, and is only trying to protect me, keep me safe and be logical by pointing out …
Sexy summer salad

A hug in a bowl with a sourdough kiss…..
Leek and Potato Soup When the days can be lacking in light, warmth and sunshine, I seek comfort and positivity elsewhere….and quite often by lunchtime the thought of tucking into a lovely bowl of hearty, comforting, and of course, fuss free soup is a positive pique on my emotional stance for the day!

Pea and Ham HO HO HOCK soup….
Pea and Ham Soup New Years Eve Eve: sugar hangover for me, husband sleeping off daytime drinking in bed and kids arguing over the bug in the kitchen. The house smells of boiling ham hock and in my mind’s eye I am fast forwarding a week to when the house will be quiet and it’s …
