Nakd Bar: Blueberry muffin

Following on from my last post about the Nakd bars (here if you fancied a looksie!) I ma now slowly making my way through the other options available. This one is the blueberry muffin bar. Personally, this is my favourite. It has a subtle taste of blueberries but is mostly made out of dates and … Continue reading Nakd Bar: Blueberry muffin

Papa John’s Cinnamon Knots

In an attempt to cheer ourselves up over this lock down period in England, my partner and I decided to treat ourselves to some Papa John's pizza. At the time of writing this, Papa John's is still open and they are now doing a no-contact delivery - so win win for us in this social … Continue reading Papa John’s Cinnamon Knots

Camp NaNoWriMo 2020

2020 has already thrown all of my plans out of whack: I wanted to travel more this year, spend more time socialising, see my friends and family more often, take on some new learning courses.....until 2020 put a big old OUT OF ORDER sign across the whole world. So....damn it. One of my big things … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2020

Baking her own bread

With isolation comes a whole new range of issues that I have not previously thought about. With the shops near me being opened for fewer hours and very busy, my partner and I decided to try and bake our own bread. We used to spend our nights after work saying how we wish we could … Continue reading Baking her own bread

Plant Kitchen sausage rolls

Oh boy....where to even begin. With the closing of all stores that are not deemed to be essential, this has meant that the Holy Land which is Gregg's has closed (Whoever thought that Gregg's was not essential to everyday life has clearly not been loved right, but I digress). In order to try and calm … Continue reading Plant Kitchen sausage rolls

Audible Original Podcast – Habits for Happiness

England is currently in lockdown and so I cannot leave my house apart from necessities and one form of exercise. Granted, I am only on Day 2 of lockdown but as someone who feels quite restless most of the time, being inside my house for three weeks does fill me with some anxiety. I love … Continue reading Audible Original Podcast – Habits for Happiness

Plant Kitchen Chocolate Cherry pots

I never thought it would be possible to experience a miracle twice, but M&S continue to just raise the bar on amazing desserts. The Plant Kitchen cherry chocolate pot has changed my life. It is basically the same type of dessert as their previous chocolate pot, but with a lovely cherry compote on top of it … Continue reading Plant Kitchen Chocolate Cherry pots

Keeping entertained during Isolation

No matter where you are in the world it is likely that you are having to self-isolate, or at most practice social distancing as the dreaded coronavirus spreads. I am required to remain at work (let's not even get into that!) so am probably one of the few non-key workers not in isolation at the … Continue reading Keeping entertained during Isolation

M&S Plant Kitchen rainbow pie

With isolation looming, I decided to branch out and grab a few meals that are able to be frozen so that - worse case scenario - I have at least one emergency meal if needed. Thankfully, the majority of the Plant Kitchen meals can be frozen, and as our M&S is a pretty big store, … Continue reading M&S Plant Kitchen rainbow pie
