Recipe: Gluten-Free Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Check these out. They're adapted from a recipe I found here - and I have to say, the first time I tried to make them I was totally sceptical. I mean... It's cauliflower, for Pete's sake. But once I'd made them... Well, wow. They're just delicious. And they're a great way to keep those pizza c[...] -
5 Healthy Snacks (That Still Taste Good)
I know I mentioned it briefly the other day, but the times they are a'changin' in my life at the moment. That's why things have been a little quiet around here lately, and why the meal plan is delayed - but I swear to God every waking moment I have this week that isn't spent at work, I'll be working[...] -
Carbs, Glorious Carbs
Ahhhh, carbs. Apparently enemy of all things diet, they're the current thing to ditch. I know this, because I tried it. Not for long, mind - it's not much fun, it makes you feel pretty terrible, and it's certainly no way to lose any weight you'd actually like to keep off. We laugh about it now, but [...] -
The Spaghetti Bolognese Ready Meal Challenge

Over the last couple of days, I've been asked twice what exactly it is that I eat over the course of a day, a week, a month, etc. Obviously you guys have seen some of the highlights (mostly just because they're pretty) but it's not representative of everything that I chow down on on any given day - [...] -
Colourful Cuisine - Making Healthy Sexy
When you spend 24 years numbering pizza and sitting down in your list of Top 10 Favourite Things In The Whole World Ever, switching to a healthy lifestyle seems a bit scary. I mean... There's no way you'll learn to love healthy foods. They're all...green. Pfft. My housemate and I have always j[...] -
Adventures in Gluten-Free - Courgette, Sweetcorn and Quinoa Egg Bake
I was reading this recipe by Naturally Zass this morning in bed, and was inspired - not least because I'm addicted to courgettes at the moment. I figure there are worse things to be addicted to. Anyway, the idea of a courgette-y egg-y thing to munch on at lunch this week sounded super-appealing, [...] -
...A Gluten-Free What?
My suspicions have been confirmed - I need to bin gluten from my diet. This isn't a big surprise - I've noticed over the last couple of months that I've been getting sick after I eat wheat, or things containing it. I've always thought that I've had a sort of abnormally bloated feeling after meals, b[...]
