For Christmas I got a subscription to Martha Stewart Everyday Magazine. (Thank-you Marcie!). I love it because it’s a small book that’s filled with seasonal recipes. Martha’s recipes are normally really simple and really good but generally I have to make a change here or there to ‘health-a-fy’ it. But having new ideas and recipes [...]

absolutely love Greek food. When I go out for Greek, I know I can keep it healthy without compromising on taste! It’s my little friend Tzatziki that makes it all o.k. Tzatziki is made with yogurt instead of heavy cream! It’s filled with dill, garlic and sometimes cucumber! Everyone makes it a bit different, but [...]
