In all honesty I ummed and ared about writing this blog post, and it was that worry and indecision that eventually swayed me to do so. When I started this blog it was with the aim to break the stigma around mental health, to have those difficult conversations in the hope they would encourage others to…

Quitting Drinking- an Update & Chicken, Roasted Tomato & Halloumi Salad with Buttermilk & Chive Dressing.
I was reflecting with my husband in the car yesterday on how it’s been over 13 weeks since I stopped drinking alcohol. While there has been a very exciting, yet unexpected, incentive to compel me to continue along the way (more about this in my next blog) I know I would have carried on regardless,…
Chicken Fajitas with Homemade Guacamole & Salsa
This has to be one of my all time favourite meals, despite the fact that I’ve been cooking it for years, it never gets old. It’s a real crowd pleaser and easy to scale up so it’s ideal if you’ve got friends coming round, I think help-yourself sharing food is brilliant when entertaining, it’s more…

Not only does cooking everything together on one tray really cut down on the washing up (of which i’m not a fan, who is) but I love that all the vegetables really…

‘Feel Good’ Old Fashioned Chicken Soup
As soon as I woke up the other day I knew something wasn’t right. Usually I am enthusiastic to begin the day but my limbs had turned to concrete and It was hard to peel myself off the mattress. I felt incredibly emotional, close to tears over breakfast and the familiar feeling of dread was…
Mexican Turkey Salad with Avocado, Beans & Chipotle Dressing
Food has such a big impact on how we feel both mentally and physically, this is why I want to share as many of my ‘good mood food’ recipes as I can. Recipes that not only taste amazing but are packed with feel good ingredients that have a positive impact on our minds and bodies….
Chicken, Chorizo & Roasted Vegetable Tray Bake
I’m sharing this recipe for a few reasons, the first is the taste – it really is lovely – the combination of the smoky and sweet chorizo alongside the fresh herbs and creamy, melting mozzarella is divine. The vegetables really soak up all of the delicious flavours; the benefits of cooking all in one pan….
