Can you believe that summer is nearly over? Gone is the heatwave we enjoyed for three months and instead we’re thinking about going back to school/work, digging the boats and coats out and welcoming autumn with pumpkin lattes at the ready.

Making Healthy Breakfast Recipes with Nadiya Hussain

So the heatwave in the UK is STILL going strong (isn’t this what this season should be like anyway?) which means for many of us, we’re craving chilled or frozen foods to help keep us cool. Plus the thought of cooking or baking just goes straight out the window when it’s already like 30 degrees […]

Apple, Raisin & Cinnamon Baked Oats
If I had to pick a favourite fruit, apples would definitely be up there. They have to be crisp, juicy, not too sweet or too tart, and mostly red with a green twinge. I eat at least one a day; as it is, chopped up and added to a big bowl of yogurt and berries, […]
