Ok, I’ll come clean. Since really taking care of my body and wanting to create as nutrient-rich a diet as possible, juices and smoothies are my go-to essentials. Juices and smoothies are easily absorbed by the body (more so juices, because smoothies require more work on your digestion’s behalf) and are perfect as a snack or […read more]
This article is reposted from an article I wrote for MindBodyGreen, on my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome diet. Having had CFS since I was 18, I’ve dabbled in lots of nutritional fads and special diets in my time. Now having fully recovered, I can say there are a few dietary tips I would always recommend people consider […read more]
I always said I was never going to be a teacher and I always said I was never going to move to London. Both of these things happened to me in August 2008. Teaching is an incredible profession- no two days are the same and it can be very rewarding. However, most of my […read more]
This recipe is adapted with gratitude and love from one by the amazing Queen of Quinoa Ok, I’ll admit it- I’m definitely one of the ‘stick to the recipe’, not particularly creative cooks (I’ve had some huge disasters in the past!), but soup, I can make. In fact, I think it’s probably my ‘thang’. […read more]
As promised a few weeks ago after a vote on my Facebook page, here is my special Butternut Pumpkin Soup recipe (or Butternut Squash, as it is in the U.K!).

Before I really get into this post, let me just say that diet-wise, I’m as quinoa, chia seed-obsessed as the next person. I’m constantly looking for creative vegan recipes and attempting to experiment in the kitchen. I’m a smoothie and juice guzzlin’ gal who has gained a bit of reputation among her friends as […read more]
As many of you know from my Facebook page, I decided a few weeks ago to try going Gluten Free. There wasn’t any particular motivation around this aside from the fact that a friend encouraged me to try it for a week just to see what happened, as she’s been gluten-free for a while. […read more]
First, let’s start with a confession…well, it’s not really a confession. The thing is, I’m not a great cook- never have been. I used to hate Home Ec classes at school, much to the despair of my Mum and Grandmother who are amazing cooks. I’m a ‘follow the recipe’ kind person and I never really […read more]

As many of you know, I teach full-time, and even though I enjoy the busy nature of it, there are some days when I barely sit down and can hardly strong a sentence together when I get home. In a strange way, I often feel grateful for these days, especially as I spent so […read more]
