A loooong while ago I posted a recipe for Cowboy Chilli, I have to say that it has been some time since we have made it, but, seeing as I now am beating the drum and trying to promote healthy eating through Vegan or Vegetarian choices without sacrificing taste we thought we would give this […]
Every morning I have Flahavan’s porridge (oatmeal) for my breakfast with a coffee. It really is the only thing that keeps me full until lunch, to stay nice and healthy I usually make it using water instead of milk and I add spices like cinnamon to give it some flavour. The other day however I […]
