We’ve been experimenting withContinue reading “EASY PEASY PUMPKIN SOUP”

Pre-surgery-can’t-sleep-musings.
Here is the face of a fighter, a warrior, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife & a friend. I’ve literally just picked myself up off the bedroom floor. Had my Elizabeth-Gilbert-in-Eat-Pray-Love-sobbing-and-praying-on-the-floor-moment. Praying to God, actually to all the Gods, any God that would listen; knowing that actually that’s not how God works.

Cooking with your littleContinue reading “Anything goes banana & oat cookies”
