Don't you love the endless choice of fillings available to you when it comes to pancakes? I know I do, sweet or savoury, decorate away. Whatever rocks your boat. I make pancakes at least once a month so Pancake day presents the perfect excuse for me to whip up another batch. Let's get cooking!
They all contain; good ol' Omega 3 that helps with heart health. I know what you're thinking, 'Seafood contains cholesterol.' That's right it does but it's actually the foods like cheese, fast food and red meat (high in saturated fats) that increase levels of bad cholesterol if consumed uncontrollably. Have your fish with a big smile on your face because when it comes to cholesterol, seafood is just the tiniest piece of the iceberg. Forgetting the health reasons for just a moment, seafood is down-right delicious!
Chicken and bacon are probably two of the most consumed meats in the world. But chicken and bacon together make one hell of a team which is why this quick recipe may be one that's about ride up to the top of your list. This isn't one of those things you should eat all the time, every once in a while will do you good with this one. It's quick, it's easy and best of all, requires very few ingredients. What could possibly go wrong?

This is one of those dishes that's full of flavour and really easy to make, Wok on; everything in! Can you believe it takes less than 20 minutes to cook up this delicious chicken teriyaki soup?! The less time it takes, the better right? I have so many assignments to get through this term and so every minute counts. Noodle lovers out there; I'm sure you agree nothing beats Udon! Their chewy texture is like no other, not to mention very satisfying. Udon noodles are also versatile in the sense that you can eat them cold or hot & maybe, just maybe you're finally over Ramen?! Now if that's not convincing, I don't know what is.

If you're in the mood for some drool worthy Korean food, I suggest you head to Kimchi, a cute little restaurant located on Cowbridge road east. It's always nicer to have a meal away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. After what seemed to be forever, fellow blogger/friend Erica and I finally met up for a well overdue catch up; you know, one of those quick ones over great food? Well, we only ended up being there for a good 3 hours chatting away, time flies when you're having fun! Anyway, this was our first visit to Kimchi but I'm so glad we went, the food was delectable.
Here one way to feed the family in a flash, this stir fried honey beef steak is definitely a crowd-pleaser. Beef is rich in Vitamins and Minerals, not to mention that is also contains some of the good fats. This quick fry up is best served with rice or pasta, but hey don't let me stop you from teaming it up with anything that tickles your fancy. Who knew adding a tablespoon or two of honey could make a huge difference to the flavour, my mouth is watering slightly as I'm writing this. Considering we had this as part of our dinner on Valentines day, I'm strongly considering breaking out my Wok once again for an evening of fun.

It's not everyday I indulge in a meat based dish. This is one of the easiest pasta dishes to make & I enjoy it at least twice a month, my boyfriend, more than that. In an ideal world, I would be enjoying this gorgeous dish twice a week but unfortunately my IBS allows me not. A few ingredients, one pot, you'll be eating in just 15 minutes. There is nothing worse than mushy overcooked pasta so make sure you keep an eye on it and drain well when ready.
Happy Valentines Day! I cannot believe it's mid-February already, this year is going to fly by just as quick as 2016. We started off the day with a treat, one of our favorite things to eat with cream and salmon, Classic butter scones. Pretty weird combination right, well not exactly. You'll be surprised just how well sweet and savoury goes together. I have my grandmother to thank as she was the one who taught me how to bake, the scent that comes with these butter scones in my kitchen truly brings back some great childhood memories.

I’m such a morning person lately, unfortunately this is not by choice. I get up early and go for a run even though it is absolutely freezing but it seems this is the only thing that truly relaxes me. Maybe I should stick to a bit more Yoga and squats, exercise that you can do indoors. I am a true believer that morning exercises really do get you ready for the day ahead. Alas, the assignments are piling up and I'm slowly starting to feel overwhelmed. My mood, diet and exercise go hand in hand which is why I always start a gloomy day like this with boost juice. A healthy drink that's great for detoxing, giving you that extra push you need to start the day.

Conveniently located just minutes from town, refreshing castle grounds and the museum, this is the perfect place for a short stay, whether its for business or pleasure.
A super-healthy, colourful side that goes perfectly with any meal. This stir fry tastes particularly great with duck breast in plum sauce. Yes, my mouth is watering more and more as I type away. This is a great way to take in a wide range of nutrients all at once. As well as being big on flavour, this crunchy number is easy and quick to make.
Sweet potatoes provide essential micro-nutrients. They are an excellent source of ;Vitamin A which plays a role in maintaining neurological function, healthy skin and vision, as well as Vitamin B6, Vitamin C for an immune system boost, potassium which enables your nerves and muscles to function properly, manganese for bone health and copper which helps in the making of red blood cells in your body. Sweet potato fries make the top three of my favourite things to cook and eat, I savor every bite as I quickly clear my plate. Who needs french fries, they are so last year. These baked sweet potato fries are flavourful with no grease. They are also versatile; you can bake them, top a beautifully made fish pie, mash them and obviously make fries with them. This healthier alternative to french fries sure is a tasty crowd-pleaser.
