This week's post was a sudden change to my original plan after a lightbulb moment from one of the girls at work: 'omg I'm running out of lunch ideas, I just want something healthy' *lightbulb moment for Lizzie* This aims to provide some ideas to those wanting some new inspiration, or to make an adjustment [...]
A VISIT TO…BLETCHLEY PARK
At the end of last month (or the last decade!), I went to the small, yet famous, Bletchley Park; most commonly recognised from World War II and the film 'The Imitation Game' featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley (which is also one of my favourite films).

New Year, New Decade

Spiced Squash and Sweet Potato Stew
A warming recipe: spiced stew and soup amalgamation! Butternut squash, sweet potato and tummy warming spices! Another in my #soupseries! When I tried making this the first time round, I basically made sweet potato and tomato mash... a bit basic. It didn't taste awful, but it wasn't exactly amazing, so I've amended it to make [...]
