I love brunch, always have and always will.In my opinion a proper brunch should be enjoyed no earlier than ten thirty in the morning after a long lie in and a big mug of tea. Ideally with friends. Sadly since having kids I can’t remember the last time I slept past half seven in the morning, so those extra three hours in bed seem like a distant dream to me. Even if I can’t have…
I am a huge fan of hot breakfasts, I find you feel fuller for longer which is always a good thing! I wanted to find an alternative to porridge and settled on using Farina (milled wheat basically, Farina means flour in Latin) and it’s similar to semolina but a lot finer. I’ve perfected this recipe with blueberries in but you could quite easily make up a big pan of plain farina and then let everyone…
It’s Friday at last! The weekend has almost landed so something easy to prepare but full of energy was what I was after when coming up with a breakfast idea today. It honestly couldn’t get more simple than this either! I have always loved cottage cheese but it is usually relegated to being shoved into a jacket potato. It’s a really popular food for gym goers to help build muscle, and you can even make…
Breakfast that you don’t have to make when you’re bleary eyed is always a winner, so overnight oats are the perfect solution providing you remember to prepare them the night before!

Okay, it’s Wednesday – otherwise known as hump day. I think everyone deserves a treat for getting to middle of the week and what’s better than cake for breakfast? Healthy cake for breakfast! I could eat cake for all meals if it was good for me, but alas most cake isn’t. I spent quite a while perfecting this recipe though as I know there are a few microwave cake recipes out there but they…
Smoothies are something I really love on work days, I have to be out of the house by 6.15am and I walk the 25 minutes to work so something I can take with me for the journey is perfect because it means I can spend 5 minutes longer in bed if I don;t have to sit down at eat breakfast! I stick Chia seeds in a lot of things but always in smoothies, as they…
As we’re told from a young age Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, unfortunately it is the meal I have the least energy to prepare. I’m working with Arla to put together seven easy breakfast recipes to try and revive our mornings with things that are fun and different from the normal cereal or toast that I’ve come to rely on! It’s been so much fun experimenting with all their products and…
