Simple Suppers – Sausage and Tomato Spaghetti

by Ellie on November 16, 2011

Everyone has a dish or a style of cooking that they revert to time and time again. A lot of the ‘go to’ dishes we eat, on a regular basis are Italian inspired. There is so much you can do with pasta to make it appetising to even the fussiest of eaters! And, by that, [...]

Winter Comfort Food – Tasty Cottage Pie

by Ellie on October 25, 2011

As the weather turns cold and damp, and Autumn draws in I’m sure I’m not the only person whose thoughts turn to the delights of comfort food. There’s nothing nicer on a damp and dark day, than sitting down to a plate of something warming and nostalgic. Now, I know that everyone has a version [...]

Bacon, Mushroom & Pea Carbonara

Especially since my youngest is now almost 21 months old! So, back to WeightWatchers Online I dragged my bones, clicking and screaming. [...]

After holding onto my ‘baby weight’ for far too long, it seems this time I have finally mustered up the will power to get rid of it sensibly. Hoo-blooming-ray!

Fatgirl Slims

by Ellie on January 8, 2011

I’m dieting. Ugh. I’ve dragged myself kicking and screaming into no less than three diet clubs (including WeightWatchers Online & #NewYearNewBody) and do not appear to be losing an ounce of my abundant lardiness, in spite of being marginally extremely saintly for almostĀ  a week. I know, I know! A week isn’t exactly long, but [...]
