Hands up who spends every Saturday night looking at Rightmove on their phone. *Raises hands sheepishly.* In my defence, I have no social life and on the rare occasion I do go out, I tend to break things, mainly my bones. Anyway, now that my eldest lives in the south-west, one of the places I […]

Cheese & Onion Potato Crispbakes – with Co-op King Edward Potatoes
If I were to choose a favourite vegetable, it would definitely have to be the potato. I know I should probably choose something green but you just can’t deny a potato’s versatility, it’s tastiness and just good all-round wonderful(ness). Yeah, let’s just say I’m a fan. So when the Co-op got in touch and asked […]
My Private Dining Experience With La Belle Assiette
I don’t get out much. Oh, apart from my Christmas party in London last Sunday … and dancing in the middle of my local pub last week, but generally, I’m a bit of a homebody. I like the comforts of my home. I like not having to pay £8 for an Aperol Spritz when I […]
Arden & Amici Italian Bakery – Perfect For Christmas
I love Christmas but I’m definitely one of those slightly miserly, ‘I’m refusing to even think about Christmas until December’ type of people. Until, that is, an Italian bakery brand called Arden & Amici got in touch and sent me all the Panettone and Amaretti biscuits and now I can’t wait until Christmas! So yesterday […]
Reviewing Loch Fyne’s New Delicious Autumn/Winter Menu
It’s not often I go out for dinner on a Sunday night, but last night I took Dexter to my local branch of Loch Fyne Seafood and Grill restaurant at Bluewater last night for a wonderful 3-course meal, to test out their new autumn/winter menu that launched on 18th October. You may have heard […]
A Foodie 24 Hours in Brighton
If you follow me on Instagram (and if not, why not?) … you’ll have seen exactly why I’ll never be slim, summed up in two photos. One of a Crème Brulee doughnut, the other of the nicest fried chicken I’ve ever eaten and, as you can imagine, I’ve eaten a lot of fried chicken in […]
Testing Out Aldi’s New Meal Kits
Several things I love in love have joined forces for today’s blog post. Food. Shopping. Saving money. Losing weight. Because today … *drumroll* … I’m talking about Aldi’s new Meal Kit range of dinners! (Spoiler – some of the nicest food I’ve eaten in ages, I kid you not.) I was asked to try […]
7 Delicious Slimming World Dinners
When I first started Slimming World, I know one of the things that I struggled with was keeping my meals varied and interesting. As you will know, if you follow my weekly results blog posts, I’m surprised I don’t look like an actual salmon (I’ve gone through several weird salmon addiction phases). Suffice to say, it’s […]
Healthy & Delicious Mid-Week Mini Roast with Red Tractor
It’s quite tough being a single parent, for many reasons. The whole “having to do it all” thing can be… somewhat tiring (to say the least). So I often look for shortcuts in life that can save me time and, more importantly, energy. #notgettinganyyounger I love cooking but, as you know, I’m also […]
Testing out ASK Italian’s Amici Kids’ Menu this Summer
I’ve never been to an ASK Italian restaurant before. Ever. That’s a bit weird isn’t it, bearing in mind there are around 120 restaurants in the UK. And as we were about to go to actual Italy a couple of weeks ago, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try them […]
