Overnight chocolate protein oats; a quick healthy breakfast for busy mums on the go. A new year’s goal of mine was to make sure I am having three meals everyday. It sounds crazy but I am actually terrible for making sure I eat breakfast and lunch; I tend to sort the kids out and then I might pick at their left overs or grab a quick snack on the go, something usually full of sugar. With four children and a business to run I need my energy levels to be high all day or the 2pm sluggish fatigue kicks in…

Do you ever just get that chocolate craving and can’t shake it? Me too. I had it last week and with no treats in the house I thought I know we can bake some brownies!

I am sharing the recipe for my blueberry and greek yogurt breakfast muffins. These are so simple for me to make in advance, they’re healthy with no butter or sugar and even the kids love them!

We all adore our latest addition to the family but of corse it’s a huge change and with change comes some challenges along the way. Time management being the main challenge.  There are definitely some…

Finding mid-week family dishes that suit everyone can, at times be a challenge. As a busy working mum, I want to make just one simple dish that I know the girls will all enjoy and eat up with minimal fuss. I always get stuck in a rut and end up cooking the same things over and over. Recently I’ve been trying out some new recipes and found some real hits!
