This has absolutely nothing to do with nutrition, but before I get onto chocolate covered strawberries (mmmm!), I feel compelled to tell you about The Big Dog Walking Disaster. We have a gorgeous golden retriever called Jasper who is absolutely head ...

I always swore that I would never give out this recipe! I thought I should keep it as my secret culinary weapon but apparently I need something really pretty amazing to make up for last week! It seems that one of my lovely readers had a few issues wi...

You know it's funny, it's easy to imagine how some foods were discovered ? for example, popcorn must surely have come from corn kernels accidentally dropped in the embers of a fire. Sandwiches could have been an early answer to fast food on the go, a...

When I was little, the only vegetables I liked were peas, corn and potatoes. Just to make life even more difficult, the potatoes needed to be mashed, the corn had to be on-the-cob and the peas only passed my lips covered in ketchup. Added to that I o...

I am asked so many questions about babies and children, so I think that it's about time I turned my attention to the little people in our lives. Now we don't have children yet ? although if my mother in law had her way, we'd have produced a couple of...
