#164 Recipe No.12 Low Calorie Chicken Satay with Noodles
A couple of weeks ago my dad booked a holiday to Greece for himself and my mum, they weren’t going to go so my mum hadn’t started her usual bikini diet early enough so she’d gotten herself a little bit panicked. Then the newspaper started promoting the 5:2 Diet, my mum collected the pamphlets and decided she was going to give it a try. I have been wanting to try it since I read Being Erica’s post about her experience with it but I didn’t think it was possible while living at my parents due to the fact everything they usually buy is full fat/full calorie. Now my mum wants…

Tortilla Pizza Recipe
I’m so tired at the moment! My mum has been ill with stress for a few days so I haven’t had any time to catch up on the sleep as Little Miss has taken all her naps in our room instead of my mum’s; meaning I haven’t been able to go back for a nap. I know an extra hour doesn’t seem like much to anyone but when your baby is up a few times a night because she is teething, an hour is a like a celestial gift! Today I don’t even think I pulled a brush through my hair! Such is the life of a mother. Due to…

#67 Recipe No.7 Mac & Cheese
This was going to be a scheduled post while I was away at the weekend however I didn’t get it done before I left so I bring it to you now. For me, macaroni cheese is the ultimate comfort food. It reminds me of time I’ve spent in New York as it was often a go to dish for me however last week was the first time I’d made it from scratch myself. Usually if I do make it, I get the four cheese sauce and just stick it on the dry macaroni before putting it in the oven. It’s good but not exactly satisfying. I got this recipe once…

#61 Recipe No.6 Tarte Flambée
I hate Saturdays, I think I must be the only one who does (please speak up if you hate it too!) In fact I just really dislike weekends. Our little house isn’t big enough to fit all these people in at the weekend and we are all constantly on top of one another. Sometimes, it’s lovely. We’re planning on all going out for dinner for Mothers Day as there are three mothers in our house and none of us want to cook, so I’m sure that’ll be a nice weekend (I’m also meeting a friend in the city on the Saturday AND it’s a week before my birthday).. so I…

#50 Recipe No.5 Oeufs en Cocotte (Eggs in Pots)
Wow.. this is my 50th blog post! I’m pretty impressed at that, and proud. I am thoroughly enjoying keeping this up, so much so I plan on updating every day for the whole of February! I figured since it’s the shortest month of the year, I’d give it a go. Shouldn’t be too difficult as I have loads of blog posts planned and I finally know how to schedule them! My weekend has been hectic and stressful (seems to be the way with my life at the moment) but tomorrow night my mum, sister & I have a girly night planned and we are finally going to watch Brave! Can’t…

#38 Recipe No.3 Prawn Noodle Bowls
So, tomorrow is my first weigh in after dieting for a week. I have no idea what i’ll have lost since my dad insisted on a massive Indian take-away at the weekend, however my mum and sister have insisted all week i’ve lost weight but to be perfectly honest I think they’re bored already of my intense calorie counting and weight watching. In my view, if you’re going to do it, do it right not half arsed. Tonight it was my turn to cook again because my mum was out with my sister, I decided to do a variation of something else I saw in Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals, but…
