#Summer Holiday : #Padstow and Truro. #Rick Stein
My adventure continues… In the tour there were some optional tours that we can go to. However, the optionals were only announced on the day in the bus on Saturday. It was a bit confusing. The bus driver was describing the tours and I had a hard time understanding him. It is not that he spoke badly, it was just me. …
#Summer Holidays @ St. Mawes
As I have mentioned before, I went on holiday recently. Knowing me, I like to go to places where, if possible, I do not have to drive. So my other half booked a week’s holiday by tour bus to the South – Cornwall area. It is a place called St Mawes. The tour company, Shearings …
Sweet Potato Pizza
I do not have a freefrom diet. I just try to reduce the calories that I consume. There is cauliflower pizza base and then, there is this the sweet potato pizza base. I prefer this as it is tastier but has a bit more smart point that the cauliflower.

Delicious Left-over Pesto BBQ Chicken Bowl
Hmm, you might think that this is a left-over recipe featuring left-over Chicken. Well, you are right and wrong. I decided to make some pasta using pesto. So I have some left-over pesto. I only used about 1/3 of the small jar of the pesto, so I have excess. Since it was quite sunny and …

Roasted Cauli – the Veggie in Me.
Well, due to the excess vegetables from the ‘vegetable pagoda’ on the East Midlands Inspirational Day, I had with me a head of cauliflower, some tomatoes, onions and some other vegetable. So I have to come up with some ideas to use them all as soon as possible. However, I had a lot of food left in the fridge. So …
Zoodles or Zero Point Noodles

The points here refers to Weight-Watchers smart points. This means that eating this vegetable noodles does not add to your daily points allowance. I …

Quick and Easy Broccoli Soup
This soup is easy to make and very low in calories or points. I use a hand blender as then I don’t have to do so much washing up. Notice that I have not given the measurement for the water. The reason is that I am making it easy so that the soup is not …
