Food glorious food.

 Food glorious food, the healthier kind.


I am a plus size Woman and so I have started to change my lifestyle a little, I did go to slimming world, (diet group) sadly the people I went with all slowly stopped going and instead of being brave and carrying on with it (on my lonesome), I stopped going too.
I have been carrying on with the meal plans (most of the time) that I had been doing and I am going to share some of my favourites with you. I hope you enjoy, it's food, most of us LOVE food and trying new things, I know I do, om nom.

BBQ PULLED PORK!

This is lovely with a crisp salad, home made potato wedges and corn on the cob.For my Potato wedges I just spray the wedges with fry light (I use the olive oil one) and fry in my Breville Halo health fryer, love, love my Halo.

We use the left over pork to eat in a crunchy bread roll with a crisp salad, or on a jacket potato with salad.
I shall put a link under this photo for the recipe. 


Hangry!

Often I skip meals and wonder why I am such a rat bag, so here is one of the meals I would scoff when it is one of those HANGRY kinda days!

Scrambled eggs with spring onion and mushrooms (I like experimenting) 2x slimming world sausages, if you live in the UK you can get these from Iceland stores, if not any reduced fat sausages will do.
 Two slices of wholemeal bread (the small loaf)  toasted, and some baked beans. yum.




.Breakfasts.

I am not a breakfast fan, all I want is plenty of coffee, but sometimes I try and get a good meal in me to start the day. it then gives me the energy to get on with the day ahead.

My all time favourite breakfast would have to be overnight oats, so delicious and amazing when its warm outside as its so cold and full of summer fruits.

The link is below.

I also love a good cooked breakfast and then a lighter lunch.
This was just a quick healthy fry up, bacon with visible fat removed, scrambled egg with only a splash of semi skimmed milk and then diced potato fried in my Halo and and a grilled tomato.Lush.

I get so bored eating the same things all the time, I love new healthy recipes to try out so if you have any please share them with me.

Ta ta for now

Thanks for reading.

Blogtober #4

Giving birth to a huge baby. Day 4 of  Blogtober I thought in today's post I would write about the birth of my youngest child (now 10 years old) Isabella, she was a hefty weight, not at all your average baby weight, although I have heard of much bigger babies being born (my eyes sting at that thought) so here is my story of how my beautiful little girl entered the world. Before I begin, I would like to say that I kept telling midwives I was carrying an elephant inside me, they would say she is only going to be about 1 lb bigger than my older two children's birth weights (8lb 6oz & 8lb 7oz) I had SPD (where the ligaments over stretch in the pelvis, causing a lot of pain) I was depressed as I could hardly do anything, the pain was immense, I used to cry whenever I needed to get up out of my bed to go to the loo, (which was often, babies like using our bladder as a trampoline) I would literally crawl to the bathroom, the midwives just said they couldn't ...

Blogtober #5

Harvest festival. Today I was inspired to write this post, as tomorrow Isabella's (Daughter) school is having a harvest festival assembly, so I was inspired to talk to you about food banks. Food banks are so essential for so many people, more than you could imagine have to use them, people who you would assume would have a good wage coming in from their jobs like Nurses for instance, so many Nurses are struggling to make ends meet, it is so heartbreaking that such kind, caring and selfless people like Nurses are struggling as much as they do, also hard working families who are working so much to the point of exhaustion, yet sadly struggle to get by once bills are paid, parents going hungry to make sure their children get a meal, its a desperate time for a lot of people, and not just around harvest festival and Christmas time, this is every day of every week. This is where you, me and anyone else out there can help, there are so many food bank collections out ther...

Nail art.

Nail art, I love, love pretty nails. Oh how I love a pretty manicure, sadly my budget doesn't stretch to a pro to do it so I do it myself. Sometimes its a hit but often its an epic fail, but practice makes perfect as they say, right? so here is a some that I took photos of. Most of the fails I just removed and tried, tried and tried again (yep many big fails) I get inspired by nails I see on instagram and YouTube but many of those were just huge fails for me, next time I shall show you exactly how much of a fail by posting a photo or two. Christmas Gingerbread Men Nails. I loved these cute little Gingerbread Men, I bought them off ebay they are water transfer nail decals. so cute! My nails are painted with a red gel polish by Sensationail which was a gift and cured in a UV lamp with a glitter top coat. The gold nails are a gel polish by Bluesky and I bought it off ebay (ebay is amazing) and added the gingerbread men and glitter topcoat which is also by Bluesky and ...
