I'm one of these people that don't believe in diets and skipping meals. I love food, I really do! If I don't eat for a few hours I actually get "hangry" (a combination of hungry and angry, if you have never come across this type of person before). On a serious note, the best way to keep healthy and fit is to make sure you eat 3 main meals a day and 'healthy snacks' in between. It is also important to eat the right types of food for your body depending on how much and when you exercise. For me I eat a lot of protein, this gives me plenty of energy to get me through the day as well as helping me get my body back to pre-pregnancy shape. Good protein in your diet is great for reducing tummy fat and helps with skin stretching back to normal.

New Year's Day was my daughter Melis' 4th birthday so we decided to go into Central London for the day. So we got to the train station and boarded the train and as you can imagine Melis was very excited about our train ride to London.
This recipe is a great filling lunch for one, full of good fats and protein, perfect for a post-work out meal. I will be honest; this concoction came together by pure fluke with left over ingredients left in the fridge and resulted in this wonderfully enjoyable meal one afternoon.
This year I decided to book the kids to see Santa at our local garden centre, Ruxley Manor. This will be Melis' fourth Christmas and Luca's second, although he was only 10 days old for his first Christmas, this year the excitement coming from my 3 nearly 4 year old has had me in the happiest of Christmas spirits and can't wait to see their faces on Christmas day!
It may not seem like much but this post is about a Bucket List goal achieved as I have always wanted to go to Wembley to watch a football match. I'm not a massive die hard football fanatic but I enjoy watching football.
Chicken and mushroom pie is my all time favourite pie but I have a confession, I have never had a traditional English Pie, Mash and Liquor.. it is on my list of things to do! But for the time being a homemade pie is my next best thing, I'm not a fan of buying the shop made pies as you can never be sure what type of meat has been used or have control on the amount of salt used. This recipe is so easy to follow and using puff pastry instead of short crust makes it quicker and easier to make.
Growing up I loved my Mother's winter soups. Autumn/ Winter is my Mums favourite time of the year and it really reflected in her cooking as she would make completely different meals for me and my sisters. She would cook stews, different types of soups and Turkish soups and more comfort food style meals served with warm breads and rice.
