I’m still very much a beginner when it comes to meditation and mindfulness but even with the little practice I do have I have seen huge benefits. This year I am trying to find simple ways to include mindfulness into every day and today I thought I would share them with you too! I’d love to hear how you practice mindfulness as well, the more ways the better that’s for sure!
I shared a photo of these matcha overnight oats on my instagram one morning and a few of you lovely folk got in touch asking for the recipe, so here we go! I’m a big fan of overnight oats as they make such a quick and easy breakfast option, and they are so versatile that you can top them with anything you have on hand. Yum, yum, yum!
It’s time for my February favourite finds! February started rather quietly for me after getting my wisdom teeth out on the first day of the month which resulted in nearly 2 weeks off work and lots of mashed potato and ice cream (not together though!). Things definitely improved from there, including an excellent weekend with my family to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday. So here are my February favourite finds, I’d love to hear yours too!
If you follow I Spy Plum Pie on facebook or are on my newsletter list then you’ll have probably seen me talking about a bunch of new podcasts I’ve been listening to lately, including Straight & Curly hosted by Carly from Smaggle and Kelly Exeter from A Life Less Frantic. They did an episode recently on eating 5 cups of vegetables a day which got me thinking, so today I’m sharing my favourite easy ways to eat more vegetables. I’d love to hear your tips too!
My love of hummus has been well documented here on I Spy Plum Pie, with lots of variations showing up over the last few years. I decided to mix things up a little recently and make dip using one of my other favourite beans, so black bean dip it is! Now, this dip is definitely not going to win any prizes for how it looks, but believe me it’s well worth it for the flavour!
