Exploring African Cuisine At Zim Braai

Exploring African Cuisine At Zim Braai

I am always so excited to visit a new restaurant, but our recent visit to Zim Braai took that to a new level. Not only was it a restaurant I hadn’t visited before, it was also a cuisine I had never really experienced. Zim Braai is a multi award-winning boutique restaurant group based in Dorset with restaurants in Bournemouth and Poole. We visited their Ashley Cross restaurant and I was absolutely blown away, not only by the food but the lovely atmosphere and brilliant service we received. Zim have created a truly authentic African menu using traditional flame cooking methods…

The Best Pub In Corfe | The Greyhound |

The Best Pub In Corfe | The Greyhound |

I think the title of the blog speaks for itself but I’m going to say it again, we have discovered the best pub in the village of Corfe and that is The Greyhound. I have been visiting Corfe for years, my grandparents always rented a cottage there at Christmas when I was little so the village itself holds a lot of sentimental value to me especially since we lost my Grandad. I love taking the girls and showing them where we used to stay. Recently we went to The Greyhound and had the BEST pub lunch I have had in…

Dining Alfresco At The Old Thatch

Dining Alfresco At The Old Thatch

Anybody else ridiculously happy to be able to dine out again?  Going out for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (not in the same day obvs) is one of those treats that I look forward to so so much. The prospect of someone not only cooking for me and the family but also clearing it all away AND my kitchen not get annihilated in the process is like a dream come true. I’ve missed it so much. Obviously right now the only dining we can do is outside so with coats at the ready we headed out for a little alfresco lunching…

Overnight Chocolate Protein Oats

Overnight Chocolate Protein Oats

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…

Delicious Egg-Free Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Delicious Egg-Free Chocolate Brownie Recipe

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! Bit of fun for the kids and I and I will also get that tasty treat that I am craving. Unfortunately we came up against a hurdle straight away – no eggs! In usual circumstances I would head out to the shop and grab some but as were trying to minimise our trips out and in shops I decided lets just give it a go,…
