I am excitedly typing this up on my dinky little iPhone using Notes. A quick copy and paste and my excitement will be shared with all my wonderful sober siblings. You’ve no doubt guessed what has me smiling from ear-to-ear. The title gives it away somewhat. We are cruising at 30,000 feet somewhere over Portugal … Continue reading TAKING TO THE SKIES, BUBBLE FREE

EASY WEEKDAY DAHL
Food prices just seem to keep going up and up and trying to keep the weekly bill to a figure that doesn’t make my eyes smart is a constant challenge. We love organic, fresh, wholefood which of course you pay a premium for. I try and have a couple of easy and affordable midweek recipes … Continue reading EASY WEEKDAY DAHL
KICK START YOUR DAY WITH A POWER JUICE
Being vegetarian, coeliac and heading towards the wrong end of 40 means I’m highly likely to be falling short on a whole host of nutrients. Add to that my recent move to a life of sobriety, a time when my body is in recovery and healing, then I really can do with every little boost … Continue reading KICK START YOUR DAY WITH A POWER JUICE
BYE BYE, BUBBLES
On New Year’s Eve 2018 I drank my very last glass of prosecco. Last glass, EVER. Of anything even remotely alcoholic. This was a momentous event which I had mentally been building up to for a few months beforehand, prior to that I had been dreaming about it for even longer! I can’t tell you … Continue reading BYE BYE, BUBBLES
CRUSTLESS SPINACH & MUSHROOM QUICHE

Hubbie and I had been out for the day so enjoyed a pub lunch and our teenage daughter, fending for herself, had feasted on pizza (and no doubt a bucket load of chocolate!). While mum's away ..... This quick and … Continue reading CRUSTLESS SPINACH & MUSHROOM QUICHE

Most of the ingredients are everyday cupboard staples and when served with rice as a side you have created a meal which will satisfy your appetite. … Continue reading CANNELLINI BEAN STEW
EASY VEGAN JAMBALAYA
Traditionally, Jambalaya is a Cajun dish cooked with shrimps, chicken and vegetables. This vegan alternative uses kidney beans and chickpeas in place of the shrimps and chicken. The end result is a delicious, incredibly tasty and filling dish which isn’t going to break the budget. It’s also a one-pot-dish, which I’m a great fan of … Continue reading EASY VEGAN JAMBALAYA
MOLLY CAKE
This is my go to cake if I want an indulgent, yet guilt-free, treat. This unique cake ticks so many boxes for me; it is both egg and dairy free and has the added bonus of being both fat and refined sugar free. However, the natural sugars provided by both the dates and dried fruits … Continue reading MOLLY CAKE
