It's pancake day tomorrow so I thought I'd share my healthy oat pancakes with you just in case you fancy a healthy option tomorrow!Wherever possible, we keep Sunday aside as a family day where we spend some quality time together seeing as we seem to spend less and less time together during the week now that the kids are older and have different priorities (in no particular order: football, makeup, snapchat, friends and Fifa).We start the day together with a family breakfast although to be fair, we could call it brunch seeing as it's usually almost lunchtime by the time the kids … [Read more...]

How to make sure Slimming World works for you….
One of my New Year's Resolutions this year is to lose weight although there's probably no surprise there then as I'm sure that about half the country has the same resolution and I've had the same one for about the past ten years! ;-)To help me achieve my goal I went along last night to my local Slimming World group and signed myself up. I've done Slimming World before and I know it's an easy plan to follow with practically guaranteed results if you stick to it but in the past I've given up quite early on.I'm not really sure why I've given up but someone did ask me recently why I'd … [Read more...]

A week’s worth of Slimming World friendly packed lunches….
We're off on holiday in a couple of weeks so I'm focusing on two things - saving money and losing weight!To help me with both of these, I've been taking Slimming World friendly packed lunches to work and because I'm so please with myself for avoiding soggy sandwiches all week I thought I'd share my week's worth of Slimming World friendly packed lunches.

Riso Al Salto – A great way to use up leftover risotto….
I love homemade risotto but it's one meal that I can never seem to get my portion sizes right and I almost always end up with more than we need for one meal which isn't a bad thing as I've found a great way to use up my leftover risotto - Riso al Salto. In fact, we love Riso al Salto that much that I do sometimes deliberately make extra just so we can have this for lunch the following day.Riso al salto is traditionally the way that leftover risotto would be used up in Italy but I've also made a Spanish version using leftover paella which is almost, but not quite as delicious.How to … [Read more...]
