When I look back over my recent meal planning blog posts, I realise why I am feeling a touch knackered. Since the end of May we’ve had so much on; and whilst it has all been wonderful (concerts, nights out, posh meals, birthday celebrations, weekends away etc) I definitely feel like it has caught up […]

Week 21 – Fleetwood Mac, Aliens and The Beach Boys
This week is basically going to be a week of going out, so there’s not going to be much cooking happening. But the going out is going to be very exciting. We’ve got Fleetwood Mac at the O2 (The Chain is one of my all-time favourite songs), then I am going to a food blogging […]
Week 20 – chicken with courgettini
After my two days in Paris I have been struggling to catch up with my sleep, and with my work, so am feeling a little bit stressed. I’ve had the weekend to recover a bit, so am hoping I can crack through with some work this week and get back to feeling under control. Of […]

Week 15 – an All Blacks themed 40th birthday cake

His wife Monika asked me to bake him a birthday cake for his party, something chocolate-y, and as I had the perfect chocolate cake in my repertoire from Henry’s christening cake, I was happy […]
Week 11 – and a custard cream spread ‘incident’
Okay, let’s get the confessions out of the way first. This happened: I am not proud, but in my defence I had come down with a cold at the start of last week, and was stuck at home waiting for my new sofas to be delivered. I was […]
Meal planning Monday – 31 March 2014
It’s that time of the week again for meal planning Monday, and this is another toughie for me as I am in Paris again for work, so I am struggling to plan for the week. Certainly on Monday morning I’ll be eating my Eurostar breakfast, which is usually bread, a croissant and jam, and a […]
