Oh SNAP! 2

This week I stopped at the farmers market and bought a bag of fresh ginger (7 hands) it’s probably more ginger than I’ve consumed in my entire life - It’ll keep for a few weeks in the veggie crisper - but I’m going to put the bulk of it to good use in the form […]

Doughy Goodness 2

It’s no secret, I love to cook, almost as much as a I love to eat - I think the two almost always go hand in hand. Both ‘T’ and I are pizza fans, we’re thin crust traditionalists - extra cheese, some pepperoni, possibly sausage and we’re happy - luckily pizza is one of those […]

The Big Healthy Breakfast 3

I’ve lambasted the American breakfast tradition before In general ‘We’ eat too much, and what we eat isn’t particularly good for us, that’s not to say that a slice of bacon or an egg yolk is bad for us, it’s about moderation, and portion control - two words that until very recently meant absolutely nothing […]

9 Diet Hacks Comments Off
