family life & travels

But generally, I cook meals from scratch and we do limit some unhealthier food like refined sugar, saturated fats, and too much dairy. But sometimes, after a busy day
If you know me well, or read this blog regularly, you will know that I am a bit of a nut butter addict. Can’t get enough of the stuff. I’m so happy for our Costco card so we can buy it in those 1kg tubs! I am always trying different ways to incorporate nut butter
I’m sharing with you a gorgeous carrot salad today, with a Moroccan twist. It has a fair few herbs and spices but most of which you probably already have in at home. It is perfect to whip up as a tasty side dish for any seasonal parties that you have coming up. Let me know

I really like cooking but when you are busy, it is so handy to have a few recipes on hand that are quick, easy and healthy to make. This salmon recipe with vegetable couscous (or with quinoa if you are gluten-free), literally took me 10 minutes to put together. The kids preferred to have the
I have been loving juicing recently thanks to my new juicer! I have only ever had a blender before for smoothies, so I’m a little bit in love with actually being able to make proper juice, at home. I have been doing a kind-of juice cleanse, having one for breakfast and one for lunch and
