'Diet' cheeseburger with spicy sweetcorn mayo 22 Aug 2012 | 12:29 am
Another astoundingly quick and easy weeknight supper, this one, and while it may lack the sophistication of last night's salmon and lentils, it was seriously good. Ten minutes from start to finish, al...
Salmon, lentils, yoghurt 21 Aug 2012 | 04:06 am
I didn't take a picture of this one before eating it - a little out of blogging practice. But a simple, delicious, diet friendly supper. I baked two salmon fillets in a foil parcel with a slice of l...
Soup: celeriac and bramley apple 29 Feb 2012 | 02:00 am
Last winter for a while I posted a soup recipe every week. This winter, as soon as the cold winter started, I started making soup again. For a long while I got away with last year's recipes, but event...
Knitting: a baby blanket 23 Feb 2012 | 02:00 am

This is such a simple, fresh tasting lunch - very healthy, but every mouthful shouts 'luxury', not 'diet'. As with all the best simple lunches, it's almost insulting to give you a recipe, but here...
Christmas knitting 13 Feb 2012 | 11:44 am
So. It's been a while. To catch you up, there was a lovely holiday in the middle of nowhere, there was a wonderful Christmas spent between two families and before both of these things, the husband got...
Winter warmer: slow cooked pork and cider casserole 14 Nov 2011 | 01:19 am
Adventures with my slow cooker continue. I still can't quite get over the wonder of chopping a few things before breakfast, flicking a switch, and coming home to a beautiful smelling flat several hour...
Knitting: baby hat and bootees 11 Nov 2011 | 02:00 am
