    Keto crisps: where to buy in the UK

    11/12/2020 /

    I wanted to share with you my favourite brand of Keto crisps. Keto crisps are hard to come by in the UK – there are substitutes, such as pork scratchings and Cheesies but sometimes you just want a crisp. A few weeks ago I discovered the MyProtein Protein Crisps. Wow! I am obsessed. They are hugely popular so go in and out of stock all the time, but it’s definitely worth buying them when they are in stock. They come in two flavours: Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream and Barbecue. I slightly prefer the Barbecue flavour but they are both delicious. Obviously, being low carb, they aren’t made of potatoes, but they…

    Keto Margarita Recipe: super simple, only 3 ingredients

    17/05/2020 /

    I would describe myself as a frozen margarita fanatic. Before I book a Mexican restaurant, I always check their menu to make sure I can scratch my frozen margarita itch. On a hot sunny day, I always, without fail, crave an ice cold, super slushy, tart and tangy, frozen margarita. But – confession time – until recently I had never attempted to follow a frozen margarita recipe myself, let alone a keto margarita recipe. I tend to stick to wine and beer when I am drinking at home, never branching out into cocktail making. Whenever I looked up a frozen margarita recipe I was always put off because it seemed…

    It used to be that if you had a foodie in your life and you were looking to buy them a gift, you would buy them a hamper. Don’t get me wrong, the wine and chocolates in hampers always go down a treat, but who needs more jam or a box of crackers to go stale at the back of the cupboard? Luckily, in recent years, there has been a rise in the number of subscription boxes for foodies. I absolutely love a subscription box – it is quite literally the gift that keeps giving! It’s also perfect for people who don’t need more ‘stuff’. I love how they can…

    Bringing the Restaurant Experience Home – Hosting on a Budget

    22/09/2019 /

    It’s good to socialise with friends and loved ones, but at times the cost of going out for a meal can cause certain anxieties around trying to stick to a very strict budget to cover the costs of everyday living. This can be particularly challenging when there are kids growing out of clothes, or coming home from school with another letter about another school trip/ activity session/ fundraising event.  Being short on funds doesn’t mean missing out on grown-up time with friends, though. Thanks to popular reality TV shows, the popularity of hosting dinner parties from home is increasing-eating at home is more comfortable for most, and with lots of…

    Low Carb Cauliflower Soup Recipe

    17/01/2019 /

    Low carb cauliflower soup is a staple lunch in our home. My recipe makes enough soup for 5 portions, so it’s great for batch cooking.  This is a staple lunch in our home, I make it almost every week, especially over the Autumn and Winter months. My kids, who are both fussy eaters when it comes to vegetables (but eat so much fruit I have to replenish my fruit bowl every day), absolutely love this soup. I think it’s because it is white so they don’t realise that it’s jam packed with a nutritious vegetable. Please, no one break it to them. What I love about this is that because…

    Freezing Sandwiches: My #1 Lunchbox Hack to Save Time and Money

    09/01/2019 /

    I’ll be honest: making sandwiches for lunchboxes, to take on outings or simply to have for lunch at some is one of the necessary parts of parenting that I’m not a big fan of, but unfortunately it’s an essential job if you want to save money. I’m not really sure why I hate it so much… I just find it a really monotonous task, usually done in a hurry with little hands tugging at my jumper. Recently however I have discovered something which has been a total game changer: freezing sandwiches. When I first read about the concept, I thought ‘hmm, do the sandwiches actually taste OK once they are…

    Keto Chinese Chicken Curry (cheap, easy & low carb/calorie/syn)

    21/07/2018 /

    I am currently following a keto diet (i.e. I keep things as low carb as possible – always under 20g a day). I am looking forward to sharing with you some of my favourite cheap keto meals – let’s face it, it isn’t the cheapest lifestyle to follow. A couple of weeks ago, I had an overwhelming craving for Chinese food. I almost caved and ordered a takeaway, but decided to see if I could satisfy my craving whilst sticking to my keto lifestyle. So I set about making a keto Chinese chicken curry, based on what I already had at home. This recipe takes 5 minutes to cook, only…
