I was weary this morning and all I could think about when I woke was juice. I have either been baking or in a kitchen for the last 2 days and nights and was craving something super healthy and super clean. I was also missing my kids so the thought of making anything apart from a…
I am feeling lazy at this present moment. Contemplating making a batch of muffins but I know that if I can somehow find the energy to whip up a batch that I will eat all twelve for dinner and as tempting as that is. I know it is not the wisest choice for my evening…
I have always had a strange relationship with Chinese Food. Some people might say I have a strange relationship with food full stop. I had a friend once say to me that she had never met anyone else who was so obsessed with food. I thought her comment was a bit strange – surely everyone loves…
There are two little bags packed by the back door and it makes me melancholy. Arch and Riss are off to their Dad’s for a week on the Gold Coast and then will be staying with my sister in Brisbane for a few days. Archie had a little melt down last night so I will…
I attempted to make Cauliflower Ricotta Lasagne today. All I can say is that new dishes are not always an immediate success in my kitchen. There were elements of it that worked, but there were elements of it that didn’t. To be completely honest the dish was edible but it tasted “vegan”. The kiss of…
I have been getting into juicing big time of late. I also think it is a great way of getting more vegetables into the kids. They love doing ‘adult’ stuff like using knives and chopping boards and they love using pieces of kitchen equipment on their own. So what has started as a little experiment…
I think I am becoming more old-fashioned as I get older. That does not mean of course that I will ever lose the love of cursing. I was running slightly ahead of schedule this afternoon with Archie and Rissie. We have a bit of an anal routine but whilst it works I am not…
The mind is an incredible thing. I had to have an MRI earlier this week, which to be completely honest can be an entirely unpleasant experience. For me to do a full spine and brain scan takes about 90 minutes which is something I can get a little bit anxious about. But in the…
I used to love cheese. I mean genuinely really love cheese. Any sort of cheese – I loved it. I loved it cold, room temperature, smeared on crackers, eaten plain. I loved it melted, grilled, in cheesy dishes. I loved the crusty top it gave lasagna and so many baked dishes. I loved expensive…
I have been grappling with a few issues of late. Something I have made a decision about is that I do not want to return to the office of a neurologist. I have sacked my neurologist. When I say sacked, it makes me feel like I marched in and told my doctor that her services…
I have been seeing endless pictures of smoothie bowls on Instagram of late – they seem to be a new craze. I was keen to try one and see what the fuss was about. Mine is definitely not up there with the works of art I have seen but for a first try I…
I suspect I am currently having a relapse. I do not have the type of MS where the average outsider would know I am sick. In fact I do not consider myself as being sick. I don’t have drop foot or balance issues – my two big issues are pain and fatigue and you could…
