Carrot cake is one of those cakes that I never really choose over things like chocolate or vanilla, and then wonder why after having a piece of it. It’s such a “cosy” cake, you know? Rich flavours without being sickly, but light enough that you don’t get overwhelmed either. A few weeks ago I randomly […]

Food Is Not The Enemy
Food is not the enemy. It’s summer (yes, I’m still clutching onto it with all that I have) and it seems that everyone falls into the “gotta get a slim summer body” trap. Same, honestly. Around June I started making small changes in my diet to make it a little “healthier” and less calorie dense. […]
Tips For Handling Cravings
I’ll start off by saying that this post isn’t going to go exactly how you would expect it. If you know me at all, or have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that I am a huge advocate of balance, and not being too hard on yourself in the diet department (or […]
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Recipe
Not just a slab of unseasoned chicken breast wrapped in a few strips of bacon. No, no, no. This is more than that. This is perfectly seasoned MOIST chicken encased in a crispy layer of sugar glazed bacon. I should write commercials… Anyway, this chicken is damn good. I’m sure we’re not the only household […]
What I Eat In A Day – No Restrictions
I talk about how much I eat all the time, and I preach to anyone who will listen about the importance of balance and enjoying yourself food-wise. So, for a little fun, I thought it would be interesting for you to take a peek at what my diet generally looks like on a normal, working […]
Summer Fruit Salad
I don’t think there is anything easier to make than a fruit salad – chuck from fruit in a bowl with a little glaze and bang, you’re good to go. It was Mother’s Day last Sunday and we were invited to brunch at my boyfriends parents. Being the kind of person that can’t show up […]
Easy, Healthy Chili Recipe
Seeing as winter clearly is not over yet, I’m still yearning for those warm, cosy meals. Chili happens to be quite high up on the best cosy meals of all time list – and I have to say, I make a damn good chili. I think what I love the most about this dish is […]
Nut Butter Filled Clif Bar Review
Back at it again with another Influenster review post. This will just be a short one. As you may know, I received a handful of products for free in Influenster’s latest VoxBox. I have already reviewed the David’s Tea, and the Protein Gummies that were in there (click the links to se those reviews!). Along […]
Eat Your Way Around New York City
If you know me at all, you’ll know that I’m a gal who likes to EAT. I will pretty much eat anything you put in front of me as long as it’s not loaded with tomatoes (yuck). I especially like trying new foods which is why when I’m travelling I like to be adventurous with […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
More often than not we end up with a few uneaten, really manky looking bananas. I’m a lover of the speckled brown banana but anything past that and I feel like I’m eating straight mush. So, like most people do, I’ve taken to using these bananas to whip up a banana bread. Here’s the recipe […]
