It’s been a little while since I’ve shared a dip recipe with you lovely folk, but I’m back with an absolute winner today. I spent the shortest day of the year at a Winter Solstice event with some friends (complete with an amazing bonfire!) and we took along a little picnic of snacky foods, and this artichoke & cannellini bean dip was one of my contributions. It’s incredibly simple to make but carries quite the flavour punch, so it’s a definite winner in my books!
Phew, somehow we’ve hit the end of another month, so it’s time to share my June favourite finds! It’s been a much better month for me personally as well as an exciting one for the blog, but it’s not all been full pace – I’ve found some time for mindfulness as well. So here we go!
We all have times when it doesn’t feel like anything is going your way, and all you want to do is run away and join the circus, but unfortunately that’s not generally an option! Thankfully, there are lots of simple ways to brighten your week that don’t involve taming lions or performing high-rise stunts, which is probably a good thing! Here are my current five favourite week – brightening activities, and I’d love to hear yours as well!
I seem to be in a bit of a food pattern at the moment, rotating between various warming curries for dinner (this potato & pea one is on high rotation!), and fresh, noodle-based salads for lunch. I figure this way I’m getting all my food bases covered! This sesame soba noodle salad has been a firm favourite for work lunches, the flavours develop over time so it’s perfect for a day or two of leftovers, plus it’s super quick and easy to whip up!
Winter might not seem like the best time to get out and dirty in your garden, but there are still plenty of plants you can grow and lots you can do to help get it ready for the seasons ahead. Today I wanted to share my top 5 Winter gardening tips, and I’d love to hear what you’re doing in your garden at the moment as well!
