With all this time in isolation, I thought there is no better time than to try out my own recipes while at home. When I was still commuting into work, my go to breakfast was overnight oats of varying flavours, however now that I have all the time in the world in the mornings now … Continue reading Breakfast raspberry oats

Wicked Spiced Meatballs
The supermarkets are now starting to return to normal here in England, at least near me anyway. The shelves are now pretty much stocked full again and with that comes back the Wicked range, which I believe is a Tesco exclusive. I had wanted to pick some up before the lock down, as they have … Continue reading Wicked Spiced Meatballs
Pink Berry smoothie
At the moment, England is uncharacteristically hot for April. Typical really; we are all in lock down and the weather is absolutely gorgeous. If this has been any other year, England would currently be rainy, miserable and cold...maybe even with some snow storms around! Knowing our luck, as soon as the lock down is lifted, … Continue reading Pink Berry smoothie
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

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

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
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
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

In this very scary climate, it is important to have on hand a load of little treats. The Nakd Bars are one of my favourite go to snack bars, as they are pretty cheap and readily available in almost all shops.They are made with dates, peanuts, natural flavours and a bit of salt. Now peanuts … Continue reading Nakd Bars: Peanut Delight
