H20 revisited

from 18th April 2013 by .

Following my post on water and how much we should be drinking earlier this week it led to some lively discussion on the Let Her Eat Clean Facebook group. I’m the first to acknowledge this blog is very much based on my personal experience, I’m a student of nutritional therapy, not an expert and always […]

L’eau, Agua, Acqua…

from 15th April 2013 by .

Top o’the mornin’ to ya

from 10th April 2013 by .

I love breakfast. Without getting all deep and philosophical here, my body really needs and appreciates it. Heck, it’s been 8 hours+ since I last fed it anything so hardly surprising really – especially when I try to make my dinner the lightest meal of the day. When I went to the King’s College Feed […]

Culinary triumphs – mayo

from 9th April 2013 by .

I love mayo. Especially the garlicky kind. I hate the rubbish that gets thrown into the jars of the stuff. And whilst Hellman’s blue label was once a regular feature in my trolley, those days are long gone. Last year once I decided to give up bottled / jars of condiments for good as a […]
