What I ate today!!

Today I had porridge for breakfast, interesting choice as it is scorchio and humid......I just fancied it.  Check out some porridge suggestions here....

For lunch I was craving a good old English spread..... so I made an organic cheddar cheese sandwich, with lettuce and fig jam (it's called St. Dalfour, with the only ingredients for the fig flavour being figs, grape fruit fruit concentrate, fruit pectin and lemon juice.....because you can't call it jam if it's not at least 35% sugar apparently, this one doesn't have any sugar, cool huh) on Helgas pumpkin bread.  Ok it's not the best (healthiest) choice for bread, I could have gone for some spelt, ancient seeds grain type, however I love this bread and I fancied it...yum!!

For a snack I had lavendar tea and Emma & Tom's Cacao & Orange Life Bar, fab when you have a chocolate craving.  It's ingredients are Dates, Raw Cashew, Raisins, Cacao Powder, Cold Pressed Orange Oil.  I find that a little sexy!!  Strange I know!

Orange Foodathon!

A couple of weeks ago a friend and I set ourselves the challenge of eating each colour of the rainbow two days at a time.  The various colours of fruit and veg highlight the different anti oxidant and other nutrients common amongst them i.e. orange is for beta - carotene - a source of Vitamin A.  So eating lots of different colours helps make sure you're getting a wide range of nutrients.


I love a good challenge!!  Although these aren't recipes from the actual challenge it has been great as it's got me focused on picking out lots of different colours in my food.


Here are some orange inspired tasties!!
