Oh buoy! Is anybody else finding this dank weather

Oh buoy! Is anybody else finding this dank weather a bit of a drag? The constant rain isn’t doing anything for my mojo. Hurry up spring and show your face. To be honest, when I walked to my @balletfitexeter class this morning for a 7.30am start it did feel brighter and the evenings are definitely lighter later. I guess it’s all moving in the right direction.. 💖

Happy National Peanut Butter Day.. 🥜 To celebra

Happy National Peanut Butter Day.. 🥜 To celebrate I made another batch of my bloody great peanut butter brownies which makes me very happy indeed. On the contrary, as this makes me feel sad, it’s also my last day working with a great bunch of ladies. My parting gift is unsurprising a Tuppaware box filled with chocolatey/peanuty yumminess which should see them through the weekend. I want to say a huge thank you to them all for being such a supportive bunch over what has seemed like the most difficult year of my life. I have had to deal with way too much loss but with their kindness I made it through, just! My manager couldn’t have been more caring, loving or accommodating and I shall miss the safe and supportive environment that she created. Lord, I’m welling up.. I am moving onto new chapters. (Not entirely sure what they are yet though so if anyone has any ideas send them my way please! 😬) Once again, thank you ladies and enjoy the brownies. Much love. XX .

Steve and I shared a wonderful lunch on Saturday at Comptoir Libanais. They have a great selection of vegan dishes for veganuary including this scrummy baked aubergine with a coriander dressing. The pop of the pomegranate, the heat from the chilli and the coolness of the mint worked so well. Plus, isn’t it a thing of beauty? Those colours..? 😍 In fact about 60% of their menu is either vegan or veggie which is great for those like me who don’t eat meat and for those trying to cut down on their meat and dairy consumption now in January and beyond. With dishes like this there is no reason not to veer away from the Lebanese mixed grill or lamb tagine. 💖(Gifted)

Say hello to my peanut butter brownies... For all

Batch #2 - Peanut Butter Brownies might just be my

Batch #2 - Peanut Butter Brownies might just be my new favourite thing especially if you throw in a cup of tea. Then I’m one happy bunny. This batch of squidgy, fudgy brownies superseded my first efforts. I’m so happy with the results and all my taste testers have been very complimentary. Did you see @rmold in my stories yesterday? Now, that was the response I was looking for! 😂 Look out for the recipe in line with National Peanut Butter Day. Yep! There’s a National Peanut Butter Day folks and I am so glad there is. 🥜 Roll on the 24th January for more peanut buttery fun!

Once a crazy cat lady, always a crazy cat lady. What a lovely Sunday I have had. It started with a private ballet lesson with a keen bean. (It was so nice being back in the studio again 🩰) I followed class with a walk, some kitty loving and a spot of baking. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday. #meow

Red roasted beets, beautiful burgundy chicory and

Red roasted beets, beautiful burgundy chicory and the greenest of salads. Shouldn’t all food be shades of red, pink and green? Those colours together just make me want to dive right in. This simple lunch was just what I needed after the most deliciously rich supper at @lecoucou_nyc the evening before. Life is all about balance don’t you think? Creamy sauces, cheese and deep red wines one night and fresh vegetables and salads the next. Don’t deprive yourself of the things that make you happy. Life is hard enough especially in these dark winter months. ❤️💖💚

Sicily and I said “farewell” to our Christmas tree last night. Another festive season done and dusted and a new decade started. Let normality resume, whatever normality is. Have a great Friday all.👋🏻🎄
