Why I love to hate the Paleo Diet

from 10th June 2013 by .

I’ve just finished running a Paleo Challenge at Celtic CrossFit. For anyone not in the know, a Paleo challenge is usually a month long period where CrossFitters opt to eat ‘strict Paleo’ for a period of 30 days or more. Paleo is often coined ‘the hunter gatherer diet’ and ‘strict Paleo’ involves eating pure, unadulterated […]

This week I….

from 7th June 2013 by .

Number ten in a series of Friday posts looking at a very quick snapshot of the week that was. Ate:  Dairy, legumes, wholegrains. The Paleo Challenge for May is over. Lots more on that to come, but in celebration of goats cheese, houmous, dark chocolate and all the other great foods I personally think Paleo […]

Clean eating and travelling

from 5th June 2013 by .

I’d actually forgotten what a pain trying to eat well and travel can be until I started getting myself organised for my first flight of the year recently. More on that here. Quite often, duty free perfume has greater nutritional value than half of the stuff on offer in airport departure lounges. Some are admittedly better […]

Coffee is awesome

from 2nd June 2013 by .

Along with houmous, dark chocolate, chorizo and halloumi, coffee makes my world go round. That first cup of the day, the one shared with girlfriends and gossip, the paper cupped ‘on the go’ variety – I can’t get enough of the stuff. And, what do ya know, it’s actually good for you. Don’t believe all […]

This week I….

from 31st May 2013 by .

This week I… Went to Poland! Number nine in a series of Friday posts looking at a very quick snapshot of the week that was. This is a special edition all around my recent first visit to Poland. Ate:  My husband and I were lucky enough to attend the gorgeous wedding of Let Her Eat […]

Farming and its influence on us all

from 29th May 2013 by .

I’m rounding off my series of Trealy Farm posts at the point where it all started. This picture captures some whiteboard thoughts with threw around on farming:

‘Meating’ face-to-face – a closer look at where our food comes from

from 28th May 2013 by .

I’ve waxed lyrical on this blog about my visit to Trealy Farm and for that I won’t apologise. This post is all about the motivation for my visit and some of the things I found out while I was there. I signed up to Ruth Tudor’s ‘Women in Farming’ day desperate to know more about […]

This week I….

from 24th May 2013 by .

The eighth in a series of Friday posts looking at a very quick snapshot of the week that was. This week I… Ate:  The most incredible lunch at Trealy Farm. You can read more about it here. But this round up post can’t go without a specific nod to high quality charcuterie and the air […]

Ruth’s reads

from 21st May 2013 by .

Not mine this time. The fab Ruth Tudor’s. I love a good book shelf and the one I found during my visit to Trealy Farm was right up my street. Just look at all those foodie, political, clean living, informative and down right awesome titles! I might just hole up at Trealy for the summer and […]

The Farmer’s Diet

from 20th May 2013 by .

This marks the first in a series of posts following my visit to Trealy Farm at the weekend. I attended Ruth Tudor’s ‘Women in farming’ day which was nothing short of incredible. A day in the sunshine drenched Welsh hills cleansed mind, body and soul as well as teaching me tonnes in the process. Just to […]
