The summer weather can make planning dinner a little difficult when you have less of an appetite and the kids are too busy playing in the garden to stop for food. So I threw together a quick and easy dinner for the whole family, keeping it healthy and nutritious and would be perfect meal prep for lunch as well as dinner the next day. Here is my recipe for a lovely and healthy summer pasta salad..

Last week was the first week of the school summer holidays and even though we are not at school age yet Hubby took a week off to enjoy some family time. So we took our little preschooler to our local garden centre; who ever year during the summer holidays, put on a free Fairy Hunt for the kiddies. Ruxley Manor Garden Centre is a family run garden centre, literally around the corner from where I grew up so I was there a lot with my mum when she would buy her lovely plants and bits for the garden. I now take my children and love it just as much as I did as a child. The beautiful gardens with such an amazing variety of plants, trees, garden and home bits with a kids play area and the Mulberry Cafe, perfect for breakfast, teas, coffee and cakes. It really is a lovely place for an afternoon out with the kids.
I don't really do many posts about what I get up to (something I'm trying to work on) I intend to but just never do! So today I thought I would, while drinking my morning Green Tea, write about what a lovely evening my husband and I had last night celebrating our 4th Wedding Anniversary.
With summer now officially in full swing we long to spend the summer days drenching ourselves in the sunshine longing for that gorgeous sun kissed skin. As lovely as that all sounds being in the mid day sun is no good for the skin cells and can cause many skin issues in the future for example pigmentation, dark spots and even cancer or other skin diseases. This is why it important to use suncream to suit your skin, even if you are not in direct sun light to protect the skin and also help achieve safer tanning.
I love experimenting with food, if I go somewhere and taste something I love I will come home and try and recreate my own version. I love cooking up new recipes and trying to change things up a bit but sometimes its nice to keep things nice and simple.
I absolutely love chocolate, it is actually the only sweet thing I like to eat as I do prefer more savoury snacks, although brownies are my favourite!
This is actually the first time I have ever made brownies and when I was browsing for a recipe I just couldn't find one where I was happy with all the ingredients used. I decided to try my own recipe and threw a load of ingredients I had and was happy using together and voilà.. they were very yummy and a hit with both my husband and daughter so the recipe is now in my personal cook book.
Weaning is one of my favourite stages, I loved it with both my babies as I love cooking up great healthy food for my whole family. This time I thought I would dedicate a post to our weaning journey so far with baby number two and it has been brilliant. I decided to do what I did with my daughter and do both Baby Led Weaning and Spoon Feeding and both have been very successful.
