Now I enjoy Frittata's and there are many varied recipes to suit all tastes, some use eggs and some don't ... some use meat whereas others are full of vegetables. What most agree on is that whatever type of frittata you make they can be eaten at any time of day ... breakfast, lunch, even supper!
Many readers of this blog are Vegan so I thought it a good idea to share a link to a vegan frittata. This is an easy recipe you can make in 10 minutes in a pan or 18 minutes in the oven for a delightful breakfast or brunch, it makes a light and nutritious meal.
This recipe is without eggs and tofu, i ..read more

Chicken has many plus points - its versatility, as well as the ease and speed with which it can be cooked - make it one of the most popular meats around. It has a high level of good quality protein, as well as B vitamins, iron, copper and selenium.
The pale flesh has a close texture and a mild flavour that pairs up well with many different ingredients. Never eat raw chicken, and always thoroughly wash your hands, utensils and cutting board as soon as you've cut or handled raw chicken
Today I share two Chicken dinner recipes you may wish to try ... however, if you prefer to have a vegetarian ..read more

Yesterday, (Thursday) the sky was blue, and the sun was shining,
although a little chilly!
As I walked along I saw some crocus,
daffodils were beginning to shoot up
but not in bloom yet ...
However, the local supermarket had some nice bunches for sale
they are such a lovely colour and brighten up a room so well.
I enjoyed a tasty cottage pie for dinner
with a lower carb cauliflower topping - see recipe here
Today (Friday) the weather forecast is not so good!
Windy and rainy ...
Think I may get my pink duster out and do some housework!!!
My keyboard does get dusty you know ..read more

If you have been reading this blog for a while you will probably know of Dr Unwin, but I happened across this article taken from one of the UK's national newspapers and thought it one to share ...
"Britain's most successful GP says colleagues call him a "mug" for prescribing life-changing advice instead of pills to cure type 2 diabetes.
David Unwin has seen 150 patients brought back from the brink with low-carb diets to reverse the debilitating condition.
Dr Unwin and his team started offering the option 12 years ago at his surgery in Southport.
And the results are remarkable with more ..read more

I had a lovely day yesterday, a family gathering celebrating a birthday (not mine), and it was wonderful to spend time together. We were all in good voice singing 'Happy Birthday' to the happy recipient and the birthday cake treats were enjoyed by all ? We even pulled a few Christmas Crackers that had been left over and enjoyed their jokes, rhymes and riddles ... and yes, the Christmas Party Hats, enclosed in the crackers were worn! It was a fun afternoon.
Whilst talking, exchanging news etc. I found out that today, the 3rd of February, is National Carrot Cake Day ... "Now who doesn ..read more

It seems that we are hearing more and more how sugar is having a detrimental affect on our health. The article I've linked to below talks about the average American adult, but I really think you could add the UK, Australia, France .. in fact almost any country ... plus include children too! Many of us are still eating too much sugar!
If you are trying to cut down on your sugar intake you may find the tips in the article helpful.
"The average American adult consumes the equivalent of about 32 teaspoons of sugar per day. Sugar is really the number one food additive: it is added to drin ..read more
