2018 will bring what it brings but I'm determined to get as much as I can out of it!
I have decided to run a blog to encourage me to find the positives in each day, to push me to do more and to do what I enjoy.

 This year my goals are to get myself healthier and my family too.... some lbs to be lost, more exercise needed, no fads, no crash diets, no gimmicks... healthy eating, exercise found not through the gym but by moving more.  So the allotment is really going to be coming into play this year -providing LOTS of exercise and if we do as well as last year LOTS N LOTS of lovely fruit and veg 😍. 

 I love to cook so there will be lots of foody photos and hopefully lots of recipes, photos of the allotment and growing hints n tips -although we are learning as we go 😊.

 In our house there is myself my hubby and our nearly 6 year old boy so its rarely quiet so this will be my place to switch off once little sir is in bed and hubby is at work -he recently started new hours 6pm - 2:30am which sounds like odd hours but we think come the spring it will work well for us as it means we can get some allotment time during the day, plus it means that in bad weather hubby can do the school run in the car 😉.

My little boy is back to school on Monday and so that is when I plan on starting my new routine, I'm just sorting meal plans and a rota for all the house work as I'm determined to get as much out of my time as I can, I'm fed up of thinking "what shall I cook?", "have I go XYZ in?" so I'm going to become an organisational ninja 💪.  I have decided to take advantage of some good offers on home delivered meal kits so I will be posting what they work like (baring in mind I have NEVER followed a recipe to the letter this could be interesting lol)...

 SO that's a bit to start me off and I will post as I go ....

 HERE IS TO A GREAT YEAR FOR EVERYONE!!!!

Well it has been a rough few days (and not set to improve any time soon 😞) But as it is all out my control I have decided that it's "positive head on, chin up and keep on going"... I received my first Recipe box yesterday.... this one was from HELLO FRESH ...with the discount it came in at £22.50 (although I should get and extra £6 back in cash back 😉).  I have gone for the 2 person box as we are cutting down portions and the only other option is 4 persons which will create waste I'm trying to stop.  I did see some reviews saying that the portions were far too small - well baring in mind I don't eat like a sparrow, I have been left wondering just how much some people can eat as we are finding them more than enough for the 3 of us 👏. The first one was CREAMY GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS AND BROCCOLI As you can see this made 4 servings and I actually struggled to finish mine -the other is in the fridge and I will have that as a quick lunch tomorrow.  It went dow

Day 4 of our "Hello fresh"recipe box, and I thought I was chancing my arm a bit with this one... I LOVE coconut milk but wasn't sure hubby n Charlie would..plus the spices for charlie -but I needn't have worried -we have another hit 👍, so much so that when I said hubby could have the rest for lunch tomorrow Charlie was most upset that he was missing out lol.  Luckily there was enough left for both.  The photo shows the leftovers, so we are in fact getting 3 adult and 2 child servings from recipes suggested for just TWO 😍.  This was Fragrant Caribbean beef and the rice part was cooked in coconut milk with sweetcorn and turtle beans,  there was a fair bit of kick in the meat spice mix (ground coriander, cumin, peppercorns amongst others) BUT there was some mango chutney that balanced it out really well (should have been chopped apricots too but I know hubby hates those -so I will eat them).  Charlie is really amazing me, even though I know he is a good eater and w
