My adventure continues… In the tour there were some optional tours that we can go to. However, the optionals were only announced on the day in the bus on Saturday. It was a bit confusing. The bus driver was describing the tours and I had a hard time understanding him. It is not that he spoke badly, it was just me. …
As I have mentioned before, I went on holiday recently. Knowing me, I like to go to places where, if possible, I do not have to drive. So my other half booked a week’s holiday by tour bus to the South – Cornwall area. It is a place called St Mawes. The tour company, Shearings …
I do not have a freefrom diet. I just try to reduce the calories that I consume. There is cauliflower pizza base and then, there is this the sweet potato pizza base. I prefer this as it is tastier but has a bit more smart point that the cauliflower.
Need a quick and easy meal using store cupboard and freezer food? Here is one suggestion. Delicious, juicy and tangy BBQ chicken.
Last week, we had our annual Midland Area Summer Course. I always look forward to this course. I missed last year’s course as I was away on a very long holiday. So this year, I made sure that I attend the course. We always have the course in the Hinckley Island Hotel in Hinckley, now …
As you know, we love to try out new restaurants around where we live. We came across this restaurant some time ago and the feedback from friends was that it wasn’t very good. The B & B, Kirkby House has been in business for a long time, and there was not a restaurant in the …
Hmm, you might think that this is a left-over recipe featuring left-over Chicken. Well, you are right and wrong. I decided to make some pasta using pesto. So I have some left-over pesto. I only used about 1/3 of the small jar of the pesto, so I have excess. Since it was quite sunny and …
We recently had a dinner here. This was to celebrate a birthday. This restaurant is our favourite. We have been patronising this restaurant on a regular basis for many years. We used to dine here about once every fortnight or monthly. However, as we have discovered many more restaurants around where we live, we …
Well, due to the excess vegetables from the ‘vegetable pagoda’ on the East Midlands Inspirational Day, I had with me a head of cauliflower, some tomatoes, onions and some other vegetable. So I have to come up with some ideas to use them all as soon as possible. However, I had a lot of food left in the fridge. So …
We had our East Midlands HQ Inspiration Day on 30th April in Kinoulton Village Hall. The theme was UNITY-ENCOURAGE, EMPOWER AND ENJOY. It was a day of stress and enjoyment. What I mean is that there were some stress trying to get everything ready and perfect. That was MY stress, anyway. I was asked …
I have been zoodling for many months now. I have tried quite a few types of vegetables like carrot, zucchini, cucumber, sweet potatoes, etc. Zoodles here means no points noodles. The points here refers to Weight-Watchers smart points. This means that eating this vegetable noodles does not add to your daily points allowance. I …
We recently had dinner at the Oak Room, Moor Hall Hotel & Spa (Sutton Coldfield). The restaurant was near where my brother-in-law lives. So we decided to have dinner there, just the 4 of us. When we went there, upon entering the premise, we could tell that this is an upmarket place with many facilities. We went …
I bought a Middle Eastern cook book two Christmas ago and had a quick look at it. So recently I decided to have a look at it again and found this recipe. It was easy enough to make and it sounded tasty. I was looking for a snack or tea time treat. This recipe is just nice …
This soup is easy to make and very low in calories or points. I use a hand blender as then I don’t have to do so much washing up. Notice that I have not given the measurement for the water. The reason is that I am making it easy so that the soup is not …
Last week, we decided to have dinner in Marco Pierre White Restaurant Bar and Grill in the Jurys Inn, Hinckley Island (formerly Hinckley Island Hotel) It was a belated Mothers’ Day Dinner. I have stayed in the Hotel several times and the rooms were good and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. I had …
