Recipes
When my mum asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I think she thought I was joking when the first thing I said was a julienne peeler *what has my daughter become?!*.

I have made the Oh She Glows Peanut Butter Morning Oatmeal mutiple times, and I…

I am learning more and more that I am a bit of a sheep. I always thought I was independent; someone who doesn’t gave to peer pressure, does what she wants, but I keep hearing about how gluten free is the biggest “fad” of the moment. As today marks the end of my gluten free…

In my training update a few weeks ago, I wrote about “the little voice”, which has talked to me a lot in the last month. Before you think I am going crazy, let me explain. Although this can be called different things; a gut feeling, your heart, a pit in your stomach; I think we…

Butternut Squash and Goats Cheese Pizza

Tina Muir
Recipes
For the last six months, I have been trying to eat real. That means trying to make as much from scratch as I possibly can, and trying to remove processed foods from my diet. Making your own pizza, for example, has various commitment levels to how homemade you want to go. You can buy it from…

Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash Shepherds Pie

Tina Muir
Recipes
In England, Shepherds Pie is a staple dish for most families. I know my family has it on a regular basis.

Absolutely not to be confused with Cottage…
