Nothing like home made.

family and food. 

Right so here is the kick start and i wanna share the magic :-D this comes with love from my beautiful granny 

So my first leap into the world of soups. so today I will be sharing my granny's recipe with you because its very yummy and really good. 

This is a sage butter-nut and honey soup. 

stuffs that you need!

stock what ever you like. (I use bouillon)                                      equipment
1 onion                                                                                       pot 
sage                                                                                            spoon 
butter-nut squash                                                                         blender
honey 

what's you gots to do

Stick your stock in a big pan add your onion and sage ( I used a whole pack). Boil till onion is soft. 

Now I lightly glazed olive oil and stuck the butter-nut squash in the oven for 20 mins. But you can also boil it in your stock just keep an eye on it if you do. 

After cooking it I add it to the pot and again give it like 5 mins to stew in the pot, All together. 

After 5 mins I taste it added pinch of salt and some pepper also some honey. do this to your own preference don't go nuts straight away.

Then liquidise in a blender 

This makes loads so I split it up and have frozen some and put some in my fridge. :) 

really simple plus for dinner I added sweet potato chunks nom nom nom.


lots of soup :) 
 right also another secret is using fresh honey and it just so happens that my grandad is the honey maker. :)



He keeps 2 hives and we have a constant supply of the best honey ever! 







Love Family and Food <3 enjoy xx

bring my feet back down to earth

i been quiet cus i have been failing. :( 

Right so I wasn't so successful on the paleo challenge side of things after being ill. Honestly I need to pre plan.  So that is exactly what I am going to do.  And just because its cheesy and I love cheese here are some motivational pictures.

   OK OK that's enough of that before i break out   

THE MONTAGE!!!

  .....it does make me feel a little better though to know its not the end of the world.

Things haven’t gone exactly to plan over the last 4 weeks and I feel worse about myself again. I was worried that I have been losing fitness even though I have been doing as best as I can with what I have ( terrible lie honestly I could work harder)

It’s the worst feeling ever like my fitness is all slipping through my fingers. (A bit dramatic but can you blame me? I like the theatrical) 



So last night I popped over to mi fav  gym for a little head straightening, and did I get my head straightened! I feel like I'm getting back on Track! (I also feel like an original Barbie without the bendable limbs… stiff)  

here is me tipping my hat to the lovely people there 



 in the spirit of this sorting my stuff out.  I have decided to set goals! (Instead of just go for it and hope for the best which is usually my plan of attack) Fun goals. So here we go.
