Feeling good

Well I finally seem to have turned a corner and sickness is easing and I just feel a billion times better! Still very sore and lots of heartburn but that's to be expected and I can deal with that. Anyone having heartburn probs I have found that milk or milkshake helps a lot more quickly and effectively than gaviscon and surely better for us pregnant ladies too. Angel delight have just launched a milkshake powder which is currently on offer in Asda for just £1 and is pretty scrumptious so I would highly recommend it. The days seem to be flying by now and there is still a lot to do but I'm really starting to make progress on my various lists which I'm happy about and still finding time ( and even better energy) to cook. I made a pretty big batch of biscuits yesterday from a recipe of Rachel Allens that I have used a few times and I split the dough into 3 making 1 plain batch, 1 with choc chips and another with shredded coconut.. All were received well! I've also made a home made Korma and a pitcher of strawberry and mint slushy from Jamie Olivers 30 minute meal books which was so refreshing: Biscuit recipe - http://m.goodfoodchannel.co.uk/recipe/607380/basic-cookie-recipe/ Anyway hope you are all having a good weekend :-D xx

Lazy

I've been a lazy blogger these past few weeks.. Apologies. I haven't actually been lazy though ..even with my incredible lack of sleep I have managed to keep busy at home preparing for the babys arrival and cooking A LOT! At the moment it seems that if I fancy eating something then I want it promptly so on most occasions I try to cook it at home myself..makes me feel a little better about indulging! This past week has seen me make: diggers (oaty delicious flapjacky creations) butterfly cakes with jam and buttercream, apple crumble with an oat crumble topping and today I will be making banana bread (yum) I have also cooked some reasonably healthy dishes such as red lentil curry, some new pasta recipes and lots of spinach related delights. If any of you want the recipes let me know- they all went down a treat with my other half and family :-) Next week I want to start making meals to freeze ready for when the baby comes so any freezer & budget friendly recipes that you have I would love to hear :-)
