Colon Cancer, SIBO & Blueberry Breakfast Crumble

I don’t know about you, but until my recent colon cancer diagnosis I hadn’t heard of SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth).  SIBO can be responsible for symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, wind, constipation and diarrhoea, Iron and B12 deficiencies as well as more long term chronic disease.  It dawned on me (slowly),  how my ‘healthy’Continue reading “Colon Cancer, SIBO & Blueberry Breakfast Crumble”

Mango, Coconut & Chia Cream

It’s officially the first day of the school holidays for us… Amid various melt-downs there were moments of loveliness.  Breakfast was one of them.  I think we all thoroughly appreciated the slow morning we had.  The sun was shining and we sat in the garden eating and planning our day… With extra time comes aContinue reading “Mango, Coconut & Chia Cream”

It’s Make or Break – Fast…

This post comes late to the party… mainly because the party was late… and blogging the breakfast was far more than I could handle!  So after a weekend of celebrations, a birthday dinner at ‘The Giggling Squid‘ Esher on Thursday night, Hersham Beer Festival on Friday night, a 40th at Weybridge Vandals on Saturday night,Continue reading “It’s Make or Break – Fast…”

Retro Rhubarb and Ginger Compote

When I think of rhubarb I think of ‘Roobarb and Custard’ the 1970’s kids TV show, or Rhubarb and Custard penny sweets, or endless Rhubarb crumbles every Sunday through the summer…  I’m never very sure whether Rhubarb is a vegetable or a fruit and I’m always slightly panicked as to what to do with it. Continue reading “Retro Rhubarb and Ginger Compote”

Spelt & Honey Split-Tin Loaf

It’s been ages since I’ve made a loaf using commercial yeast, but yesterday was an exceptional day… My boy was home sick, and so was I.  Nursing my sourdough, and getting up to bake it early this morning, was more than I could face.  Plus, being the last week of January we are utterly utterlyContinue reading “Spelt & Honey Split-Tin Loaf”

Baked Apples… A Little Throwback to my Childhood

My grandparents had apple trees in the garden, crocuses that would grow up below them in early spring, and a tortoise in a pen who lived there in summer.  At the bottom of the garden they had a vegetable garden filled with potatoes, beans, herbs, fruit, salad, cabbages and probably more and it was borderedContinue reading “Baked Apples… A Little Throwback to my Childhood”
